Configuration

It is not a good practice to run commands as root.So we create a Docker group and our username to that group.

Docker Configure

Create a docker group

# sudo groupadd docker
Add your username to the docker group.

# sudo usermod -aG docker <user_name>
Run this command so that you don't need to restart your shell for the change to occur.

# sg docker -c "bash"

Allow ssh on port 22

The following commands allows port 22 to accept ssh connections in your local system which is required to connect with the dockers.

Note:- apt-get is an ubuntu command,if you are on a fedora system use yum.

   `# sudo apt-get update`
   
   `# sudo apt-get install openssh-server`
   
   `# sudo ufw allow 22`

Creating authentication keys

Now we need to create ssh keys which will create 3 files id_rsa,id_rsa.pub and known_hosts.From the id_rsa.pub file,we will again create another file known as authorizeed_keys.These keys are required to connect to the cybercommons platform.To create the keys type the following commands.

# ssh-keygen

Press Enter for the first command ,don't type any paraphase for second and third commands.After that type the following command

# cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys

To run the system we need keys to communicate with the system.This is the reason why we create ssh keys.To learn more about ssh keys click here

Configuring the cybercom_up file and running the system

Now go to < path_to_application_short_name/run > and open the file cybercom_up and in the celery part mount env,.ssh and add the environmental variable host_data_dir in cybercom_up.

# vi cybercom_up

Change [[host_ip="to_your_local_machines_ip-address]]

This is how the docker command of celery should exactly look like.

# docker run -d --name application_short_name_celery --link application_short_name_rabbitmq --link application_short_name_mongo -v /home/<username>/.ssh:/root/.ssh -v /home/<username>/<path_to_application_short_name>/celery/code:/code:z -v /home/<username>/<path_to_application_short_name>/celery/log:/log:z -v /home/<username>/<path_to_application_short_name>/data:/data:z -e "host_data_dir=/home/<username>/<path_to_application_short_name>/data" -e "docker_worker=$host_ip" -e "docker_username=$docker_username" -e "C_FORCE_ROOT=true" -e "CELERY_CONCURRENCY=8" cybercom/celery
Now the configuration is almost complete.Now when we run the cybercom_up file.Everthing should work perfectly fine.Type the following set of commands so that the system restart the docker containers.

# ./cybercom_up

# ./docker_restart

# ./cybercom_up

After this open your browser and type 0.0.0.0/ecopad_portal.You should see the system running.
