Trying Out This Website

Demo Version
Demo version of this website

Lately, there have been a few inquiries about deploying the source code of my website. Unfortunately for my own Less configuration to think about. very few of my resources are deployed directly or entirely with Docker. You can however get an instance of this website running very quickly with linux My personal deployment strategy is mostly ad hoc, so a linux container is the easiest way for me to deliver a demo of the source code.

Installing and running lxc on your system should theoretically be the hardest part. To get this up and running, create a container and change to its working directory.

shell 
lxc-create --name app --template download -- --dist alpine --release 3.14 --arch amd64 --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com
cd /var/lib/lxc/app

We can generate an empty container with the command lxc-create -n empty -t none, but the generated config file will be empty too. the contents of the container file system. The rootfs will be replaced with the website’s file system.

shell 
rm -rf rootfs/*

Download the website here, verify its checksum, and extract the contents into rootfs.

shell 
wget https://www.thedroneely.com/download/rootfs.tar.gz
tar --numeric-owner -xzvf rootfs.tar.gz -C rootfs/

Start the website and get its IP address.

shell 
lxc-start -n app
lxc-ls -f

The output should look something like the following.

shell 
NAME     STATE   AUTOSTART GROUPS IPV4       IPV6 UNPRIVILEGED
app      RUNNING 0         -      x.x.x.x    -    false

If this was too long to read, then see the condensed version below.

shell 
lxc-create -n app -t download -- --dist alpine --release 3.10 --arch amd64
cd /var/lib/lxc/app
rm -rf rootfs/*
wget https://www.thedroneely.com/download/rootfs.tar.gz
tar --numeric-owner -xzvf rootfs.tar.gz -C rootfs/
lxc-start -n app
lxc-ls -f
