Public IP

Hey there, I am interested in hosting this on a VPS in order to be accessible from everywhere from a public IP. Is this possible to and if so, how?

Hey,

It is possible:

• you will have to setup your VPS to be VM+ansible-ready (install vagrant, vagrant-libvirt plugin, kvm/qemu, libvirt, ansible)
• download (latest_version)[https://github.com/quarkslab/irma/releases/download/v2.4.14-oss/core-v2.4.14-oss.zip] archive
• in ansible/environments directory, create an environment file (copy and amend prod.yml with the number and settings of each VM)
• make sure you add the correct version variable like in demo.yml environment see here
• Start Vms: VM_ENV=<your_env_file_without_extension> vagrant up --provider=libvirt
• Launch full install

That is just basic Irma install up to here, then to expose it publicly either:

• you do a port forward from VPS ports 80+443 to frontend VM ports 80+443
• or you setup an nginx as proxy_pass to the frontend VM nginx, something like:

  location / {
     proxy_pass https://<frontend_vm_ip>:443;
  }
