Clarify docker pieces for multi server setup #232

Open collateral127 opened 2 years ago

collateral127 commented 2 years ago

https://doc.crowdsec.net/docs/user_guides/multiserver_setup it'd really help if you clarified the docker environment variables you needed for a multi server setup on the agent end:

DISABLE_LOCAL_API=true LOCAL_API_URL=http://host.ip.address:8080 AGENT_USERNAME=username AGENT_PASSWORD="password"

The blog post you reference certainly helps, but there are a bunch of steps you'd do on bare metal that don't make sense in the context of containerisation, and would require editing the dockerfile to do.

The only other thing is that it's not immediately clear (at least it wasn't to me) that the LAPI and agent are part of the same container - when i was looking at the multi server setup initially, i was looking for an agent container I didn't need.

Thank you for this feedback (I know im really late). I plan to rewrite the article and some aspects of this documentation I will keep these points in mind.
