Test arches via docker from OpenContext

[razekmh]

I want to test the arches installation via docker built by opencontext.

[razekmh]

I have tried this a few times and has not been successful. I faced a few errors and asked Eric Kansa ( the author ) for help. Here is a detailed step by step of my server actions and the output I got.

[razekmh]

The server I am testing on is from DigitalOcean. It has the following specs:

• 8 CPUs
• 16 GB Memory
• 320 GB Disk and running Ubuntu 22.04 (LTS) x64

[razekmh]

on a fresh server I start with update apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y

[razekmh]

and a reboot

[razekmh]

I created a user to manage arches adduser arches-admin and added it to sudoers usermod -aG sudo arches-admin

[razekmh]

and then installed docker using apt

# Add Docker's official GPG key:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc

# Add the repository to Apt sources:
echo \
  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
  $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | \
  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

[razekmh]

added the user arches-admin to the docker group sudo usermod -aG docker $USER and loaded the new group newgrp docker now the user arches-admin can access docker daemon. I tested this by running docker run hello-world it seems to work as expected

[razekmh]

and installed neovim sudo apt install neovim

[razekmh]

in arches-admin's home folder, I cloned the opencontext repo git clone https://github.com/opencontext/arches-via-docker.git

[razekmh]

now in the arches-via-docker folder I make a new copy edit_dot_env to a file named .env

[razekmh]

I edit the .env using nvim .env

[razekmh]

I modify the variables to the following

DOMAINS=seven.razekmh.dev
DEPLOY_HOST=seven.razekmh.dev
CERTBOT_EMAILS=mahmoud.abdelrazek@ucl.ac.uk
CERTBOT_TEST_CERT=0
DJANGO_MODE=PROD
BUILD_PRODUCTION=True

[razekmh]

Now I will started creating the containers

docker volume create --name=logs_nginx
docker volume create --name=nginx_ssl
docker volume create --name=certbot_certs
docker volume create --name=arches_certbot

[razekmh]

Now let's build the image 🤞 docker compose up --build

[razekmh]

and it works. the server seems to be live. I collected the output during the build process. I will add the log after. The server now has the following containers
