Server on Technical Notes

Gitea and Traefik on Docker

Sun, 03 Apr 2022 00:00:00 +0000

In this post I describe the installation of Gitea (GIT server) and Traefik (LetsEncrypt SSL certificate termination), along with Redis (cache) and MySQL (DB). I install all applications as Docker containers on an Alpine Linux running as a virtual machine on my KVM server. In the previous post I explained what Gitea is and how to set it up directly on a virtual machine (without Docker).

Gitea on a VM

GIT is a distributed version control system, and we all know the famous centralization services GitHub and GitLab. I recently came across a promising alternative called Gitea - Git with a cup of tea and decided to install it on a virtual machine.

Alpine for Running Containers

Sun, 20 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000

In this post I describe how to install Alpine Linux in a virtual machine on my QEMU/KVM server and how to install Docker on it. I needed, for proof-of-concept and home services, the ability to run containers on a Docker host that takes up “very little” space. Can you install a Docker Host on top of a Virtual Machine? The answer is a resounding yes — in fact, it’s an excellent place to do so, especially in lab environments, home setups, and small deployments.

Rsync on MacOS

The rsync program comes bundled with Mac OSX, but if you need a more recent version with additional features – such as metadata preservation, extended character support, or cross-platform character handling – you’ll need to install one of the latest versions.
