Hercules - HomeLab services VM

Hercules - VM configuration

Hercules - OS Configuration

The following subsections from General section should be performed in this order:

SSH configuration
Ubuntu - Synchronize time with chrony
Update system timezone
Correct DNS resolution
Generate Gmail App Password
Configure Postfix Server to send email through Gmail
Mail notifications for SSH dial-in

Add the following mounting points to /etc/fstab/

192.168.0.114:/mnt/tank1/data /home/sitram/data nfs rw 0 0
192.168.0.114:/mnt/tank2/media /home/sitram/media nfs rw 0 0

Hercules - Docker installation and docker-compose

I used for a while the Docker Engine from Ubuntu apt repository, until a container stopped working because it needed the latest version which was not yet available. I decided to switch from Ubuntu's apt version of docker to the official one from here and it has been working great so far.

I launch all containers from a single docker-compose file called docker-compose.yml which I store in /home/sitram/data. Together with the yaml file, I store a .env file which contains the stack name:

echo COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=serenity >> /home/sitram/data/.env

The configuration of each container is stored in /home/sitram/docker in a folder named after each container. I have a job running on the host server, which periodically creates a backup of this VM to a Raid 1 so I should be protected in case of some failures.

[TODO] move the containers docker configuration to my tank1 in order to reduce the wear on the SSD.

Hercules - Remove docker packages from Ubuntu repository

Identify what docker related packages are installed on your system

dpkg -l | grep -i docker

Remove any docker related packages installed from Ubuntu repository. This will not remove images, containers, volumes, or user created configuration files on your host.

sudo apt-get purge -y docker-engine docker docker.io docker-ce docker-ce-cli docker-compose-plugin
sudo apt-get autoremove -y --purge docker-engine docker docker.io docker-ce docker-compose-plugin

If you wish to delete all images, containers, and volumes run the following commands:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker /etc/docker
sudo rm /etc/apparmor.d/docker
sudo groupdel docker
sudo rm -rf /var/run/docker.sock

Hercules - set up Docker repository

Update the apt package index and install packages to allow apt to use a repository over HTTPS:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install \
    ca-certificates \
    curl \
    gnupg \
    lsb-release

Add Docker’s official GPG key:

sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg

Use the following command to set up the repository:

echo \
  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
  $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

Hercules - Install Docker Engine

Update the apt package index:

sudo apt-get update

Install the latest version of Docker Engine

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

Verify that the Docker Engine installation is successful by running the hello-world image

sudo docker run hello-world
