Adding a container

1. Log into vm.garynet.org
2. Datacenter > vm > as.garynet.org > Hardware
3. Add > Hard Disk
   • Bus/Device: SCSI
   • Storage: pool1
   • Disk size: Depends on use
4. Click Add

1. Make mnt point directory with: mkdir /mnt/docker/<container>
2. Find disk with fdisk -l
3. Partition disk with cfdisk <disk>
   1. Select type gpt
   2. New and set max size
   3. Select write and type yes
   4. Quit
4. Format partition with mkfs.ext4 /dev/<disk>1
5. Find UUID with blkid
6. Add disk to fstab with vim /etc/fstab:
   • UUID=<uuid> /mnt/docker/<container> auto rw,user,auto 0 0
7. Verify no errors with findmnt –verify
8. Reload systemd daemon with systemctl daemon-reload
9. Mount disk with mount -a

1. Make folder to contain docker compose files in /mnt/docker-compose-files/container_name-domain-tld
2. Add docker compose file to /mnt/docker-compose-files/container_name-domain-tld
   • This can be created manually or downloaded from a project page online.
3. Add following entries to docker-compose.yml:

Required for posterity.

• container_name: container_name-domain-tld
  

This will restart your container on a server reboot.

• restart: unless-stopped
  

• volumes:
    - /mnt/docker/example/data:/example_data
    - /mnt/docker/example/db:/example_db
  

Required to reach your container via DNS and will enable TLS.

• labels:
    - traefik.enable=true
    - traefik.http.routers.container_name-domain-tld.rule=Host(`<subdomain>.domain.tld`)
    - traefik.http.services.container_name-domain-tld.loadbalancer.server.port=<port>
    - traefik.http.routers.container_name-domain-tld.entrypoints=websecure
    - traefik.http.routers.container_name-domain-tld.tls.certresolver=domain-tld-certresolver
  

Required for traefik to route to your container.

• networks:
    - container_name-domain-tld_net
    - proxy_net
  

Required for docker to create networks.

• networks:
    container_name-domain-tld_net:
      name: container_name-domain-tld_net
    proxy_net:
      name: proxy_net
      external: true
