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 ops@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
Finally, some containers allow. From a Phabricator container, for example, you can get a MySQL client with:
/opt/phabricator/bin/storage shell
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.
Note: with recent Docker versions, you don't need to SSH anymore: you can use docker exec -it <container name> <your favorite shell> instead.
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 add 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
At some point, the Linux route2 method stopped to work, but the Linux net-tools method still work.
ip tunnel del he-ipv6 ifconfig sit0 up ifconfig sit0 inet6 tunnel ::216.66.84.42 ifconfig sit1 up ifconfig sit1 inet6 add 2001:470:1f12:ce7::2/64 ifconfig sit1 inet6 add 2001:470:1f13:ce7:ca5:cade:fab:1e/64 route -A inet6 add ::/0 dev sit1
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
From Docker and LXC, it's not possible to connect outside
It could be the net.ipv4.ip_forward switched from 1 to 0:
$ sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
Or it could be an issue with iptables:
$ iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING $ iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ens192 -j MASQUERADE
If you need to recreate the forwarding map (P91):
$ iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i ens192 -p TCP -d 212.129.32.223/32 --dport 25 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.3.8:25 $ iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i ens192 -p TCP -d 212.129.32.223/32 --dport 21080 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.3.8:80 $ iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i ens192 -p TCP -d 212.129.32.223/32 --dport 110 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.3.8:110 $ iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i ens192 -p TCP -d 212.129.32.223/32 --dport 143 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.3.8:143 $ iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i ens192 -p TCP -d 212.129.32.223/32 --dport 465 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.3.8:465 $ iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i ens192 -p TCP -d 212.129.32.223/32 --dport 587 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.3.8:587 $ iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i ens192 -p TCP -d 212.129.32.223/32 --dport 993 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.3.8:993 $ iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i ens192 -p TCP -d 212.129.32.223/32 --dport 995 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.0.3.8:995
