Setup files for my VPS

Steps to setup

Setup VM

• login as root
• disable ssh for root
• add user: adduser <username>
• move and chown ssh keys from root to the new user
• add user to sudo: sudo usermod -aG sudo <username>
• setup firewall to allow/disallow ports
• logout and login as the new user

Install docker

$ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-compose
$ sudo gpasswd -a $USER docker

Setup space

• copy/clone this repo to ~/space
• setup SSL certificates (optional)

$ wget https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto
$ chmod a+x ./certbot-auto
$ sudo ./certbot-auto certonly --server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory --manual --preferred-challenges dns -d *.abhinavsarkar.net
$ sudo cp /etc/letsencrypt/live/abhinavsarkar.net/* ~/space/certs/
$ sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/space/certs/

• stop and disable resolvd

$ sudo service systemd-resolved stop
$ sudo systemctl disable systemd-resolved.service

• edit /etc/resolv.conf to set the nameserver to 8.8.8.8
• edit ~/space/space.service to set environment variables
  • set passwords to random values if new setup
  • set passwords to the previous values if a copy setup
  • set PH_SERVER_IP to the static IP of the server
• setup the service and start

$ sudo cp ~/space/space.service /etc/systemd/system/
$ sudo systemctl enable space
$ sudo systemctl start space

• edit /etc/resolv.conf to set the nameserver to 127.0.0.1
