This is not meant to be in production, this is a development environment

Assumptions if you are using Docker with or without Swarm Mode

1. You know the basics of Docker.
2. You know the basics of Docker Compose.
3. You know the basics of Docker Swarm.
4. You know the basics of the Compose Specification.

• "Normal Compose and Swarm Files"

Assumptions if you are using Podman

1. You know the basics of Podman.
2. You know the basics of Podman Compose.
3. You know the basics of the Compose Specification.

Assumptions if you are using Kubernetes single node or cluster

1. You are using microk8s.
2. You have enabled add-ons dns, metallb, storage, and registry in microk8s.
3. You know the basics of Kubernetes/k8s.
4. You know the basics of Kubernetes YAML.

• "Normal Kubernetes Manifests"

Assumptions if you are using HELM with Kubernetes single node or cluster

1. You know the basics of HELM.

• HELM Packages

Assumptions if you are using Pod-Porter with Podman or Docker

1. You know the basics of Pod-Porter

• Pod-Porter Packages

General Information

• The base Makefile is meant to be used with Docker Swarm

• The Makefile located in docker/compose is used for individual architecture pieces

• Compose does not have memory limits

Possible Special Need for ELK

• You may need to run this command on the host system

sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144

Nautobot required after creating container

• You need to create a super user use the following command, and follow prompts.

docker exec -it <container-name> nautobot-server createsuperuser

Graphana iformation

• Default username admin default password admin

• It will ask you to change the password on first login

Docker registry information

• This is a insecure registry the following must be done to use it

1. create daemon.json in /etc/docker and add the following

{
  "insecure-registries" : ["<ip or domain name>:5000"]
}

2. restart docker daemon

sudo systemctl restart docker

3. In order to use the registry in compose you must log in using the credentials' admin/admin

docker login <ip or domain name>:5000 -u admin -p admin

4. You can verify you are logged in by looking in ~/.docker/config.json you should see something like this

{
	"auths": {
		"<ip or domain name>:5000": {
			"auth": "secret-key"
		}
	}
}

5. To check images you add in it. In your browser.

# To see your repositories
http://<ip or domain name>:5000/v2/_catalog

# To see the tags in your repositories
http://<ip or domain name>:5000/v2/<repo-name>/tags/list
