Containers

Ports table

Ø indicates an unmapped port. In such cases, it's accessible logging in Dwellers, and connecting locally to the current mutable container IP variable and the immutable specified port.

Ports are not exposed on world, as only listen to 22, 25, 80 and 443.

Most ports on —80 are served by nginx and so accessible on :80/:443.

phabricator.nasqueron.org

Port prefix: 31

Provides a Phabricator instance for Nasqueron projects at http://phabricator.nasqueron.org.

To run a new container:

   docker run -p 31080:80 nasqueron-phabricator

Known issues

• At startup, we need to set the base URI: ./bin/config set phabricator.base-uri 'http://devcentral.nasqueron.org/'

forum.nasqueron.org

Port prefix: 32

Provides a Discourse instance, to be used as a forum at http://forum.nasqueron.org/

First, update the configuration:

    cd /data/discourse/app/
    #ensure you have id_zr in the SSH agent with ssh-add -l
    #if not, and if you have trouble with an agent, alias ssh "ssh -i /root/.ssh/id_zr" should work
    make update

Then, launch db and cache containers:

    docker run -d -v /data/discourse/postgres:/var/lib/postgresql -e LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 --name=discourse-postgres postgres
    docker run -d --name discourse-redis redis

Finally, launch web container:

    docker run -d -v /data/discourse/app:/data/config -p 32000:3000 -p 32080:80 --link discourse-postgres:db --link discourse-redis:cache --name discourse-web nasqueron/discourse

At launch time, the web container can perform some tasks. Erase the dotfiles in /data/discourse/app/ to force them:

• rake db:migrate if .database-initialized is not found
• rake assets:precompile if .database-initialized is not found
• regenerate language configuration and files if .language-set not found and a language file contains a language string

So to switch from English to French for example:

    echo fr > language
    rm .language-set

Also at launch time, the web container will populate config directory with missing config files before to create symlinks of these files to the Discourse web config folder. So, if you found a Discourse instance trying to find a database at localhost, don't forget to generate from discourse.conf.tmpl a discourse.conf file following instructions given above in update the configuration step.

Shipyard

Port prefix: 30

Provides a shipyard instance to manage Dwellers (and potentially other Docker installation) at http://dwellers.nasqueron.org:30080

To run RethinkDB for the storage and launch shipyard:

    docker run -it -d --name shipyard-rethinkdb-data --entrypoint /bin/bash shipyard/rethinkdb -l
    docker run -it -P -d --name shipyard-rethinkdb --volumes-from shipyard-rethinkdb-data shipyard/rethinkdb
    docker run -it -p 30080:8080 -d --name shipyard --link shipyard-rethinkdb:rethinkdb shipyard/shipyard

To control shipyard instance, launch the CLI (also in a container):

    docker run -it shipyard/shipyard-cli

Documentation is at http://shipyard-project.com/docs/usage/cli/

Administration tasks

Acquisitariat (MySQL server)

To connect to the MySQL server, you can run a temporary container linked to our production server.

   ssh -t dwellers.nasqueron.org mysql-acquisitariat-client

If you need more control tweak this line:

   docker run -it --rm --link acquisitariat:mysql nasqueron/mysql sh -c 'exec mysql -h"$MYSQL_PORT_3306_TCP_ADDR" -P"$MYSQL_PORT_3306_TCP_PORT" -uroot -p"$MYSQL_ENV_MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD"'

If you need to work with SQL files, connect directly to the server:

   docker exec -it acquisitariat bash

You could contribute a MySQL client image with only a MySQL client, and tools to perform operations like a dump for backup purpose.

Troubleshoot

How to point a domain here?

For your domains:

• subdomain.domain.tld A 212.129.32.223
• subdomain.domain.tld AAAA 2001:470:1f13:ce7:ca5:cade:fab:1e

To request a DNS update for domains using extensively the Nasqueron servers infrastructure:

• subdomain.nasqueron.org CNAME www3.nasqueron.org
• subdomain.espace-win.org CNAME www2.espace-win.org

How to access by SSH to an instance?

See the ports table to check if a port is assigned. We don't assign port if there is no reason general public got access to the VM by SSH. We assign port each time a stable address is needed (for example to talk with a Git server)

If the port is mapped:

   ssh -p <port> username@dwellers.nasqueron.org

If the port is unmapped, you can from Dwellers:

   docker ps
   docker inspect <instance id> #gets the local IP
   ssh <IP 172.*>

If you don't see the IP with docker inspect, check you use the instance id, not the image name.

No network at boot time

Access the machine on the hypervisor, then:

Check the interface is up

   ip addr
   ifup ens192 # to bring it up

If you've reset the configuration and need to add again the IP

   ip addr 212.129.32.223/32 dev ens192

Routing is probably the issue

   ip route add 62.210.76.1 dev ens192
   ip route add default via 62.210.76.1

Same for the case we can ping/ssh (slowly) from Ysul but not from the world

   ip route change 62.210.76.1 dev ens192
   ip route change default via 62.210.76.1

Reconfigure the IPv6 tunnel

   ip tunnel del he-ipv6
   ip tunnel add he-ipv6 mode sit remote 216.66.84.42 local 212.129.32.223 ttl 255
   ip link set he-ipv6 up
   ip addr add 2001:470:1f12:ce7::2/64 dev he-ipv6
   ip addr add 2001:470:1f13:ce7:ca5:cade:fab:1e/64 dev he-ipv6
   ip route change ::/0 dev he-ipv6

A port on the host doesn't reply (but does in Docker)

You can reset the iptables configuration. A script has been provided for that.

   $ systemctl stop docker
   $ /root/reset-iptables
   $ systemctl start docker

If you're willing to restrict ports, you can use instead /root/reset-iptables-dwellers
