Ansible + Docker

A Repo that will have a way to deploy a generic nextcloud instance

Commands

To test the ansible on a docker instance docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash

Updating the docker file within docker compose docker-compose up -d --pull

Checklist

When Running the dockerfile we need to make sure it's resources are linked to a permanent database and it writes to a permanent location externally of it's own container. This also means dependencies have to be added and downloaded via ansible; which are:

• mysql (As the database of choice)
  • Would be nice to have it pre established before this script in a manner of best practice such as an automated creation of a user and password
    • Would also regardless create nextcloud user and password (Can also be created manually via the ui)
• Create in ansible a location/folder where the data will be used
  • Defining -v nextcloud:/var/www/html

Current Whereabout

docker run -itd -p 8080:80 -v $(pwd)/nextcloud:/var/www/html nextcloud

• Local Connections
  • host.docker.internal:172.17.0.1

systemctl stop mariadb
rm -R /var/lib/mysql/*
mysql_install_db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
systemctl start mariadb

Troubleshooting

Found that when deploying to an external mounted drive (anything other than / drive) it will cause a permission error.

• chown -R www-data:www-data designated-mounted-folder
• chmod -R 0750 designated-mounted-folder

Current Problems

• Need to deploy twice from a clean install as it takes time as the nextcloud container hangs on the "trying to reinstall" Possible soloutions include:
• Leave it and just dealing with ssh'ing into the host machine and pulling down the container and redeploying.
• Creating a pause for either of the containers

The cron is unable does not activate.

• troubleshoot the local imagine till it works and push the changes here.
