Automation a Nextcloud as a Podman Container

Sun, 30 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

I’ve been thinking to upgrade my Nextcloud service also switching to another alternative rather than docker, hence I used podman and buildah in my solution.

From the rockylinux.org I found a nice post where it describes how to build and provisioning by using buildah and podman, it works pretty good and I added a tool in order to run it faster, called taskfile.

Requirements:

Podman
Buildah
Taskfile

Install taskfile
Clone my project
From the project you can see the task defined:

version: "3"

tasks:
  up-db:
    dir: "db/mariadb"
    preconditions:
      - test -f db-init.sh
    cmds:
      - bash db-init.sh

  create-app:
    dir: "app"
    preconditions:
      - test -f run.sh
    cmds:
      - mkdir nc nc/nextcloud nc/apps nc/config nc/data
      - task: up-db
      - bash run.sh

  build_base:
    dir: "db/base"
    preconditions:
      - test -f build.sh
    cmds:
      - bash build.sh

  build_tools:
    dir: "db/db-tools"
    preconditions:
      - test -f build.sh
    cmds:
      - bash build.sh

  build_maria:
    dir: "db/mariadb"
    preconditions:
      - test -f build.sh
    cmds:
      - bash build.sh

  build_db:
    cmds:
      - task: build_base
      - task: build_tools
      - task: build_maria

  up-app:
    cmds:
      - podman container start nextcloud

Main task to build and run nextcloud:

Pull and start the container by register command, then we will prompt the data need for register the runner into the project.

Install Hetzner-CLi on Fedora by Toolbox

On this new entry I will share a briefly installation step by step by using Toolbox at Fedora 34 to use the hcloud-cli. Due we do not have an official package on fedora git-repo yet, hence we can create this container.

Pre-requirement:

Visit Hetzner Cloud Console at https://console.hetzner.cloud, select your project, and create a new API Token.

Let’s start:

1- Create a file named Dockerfile.debian with the following contents(the following image is made to use a script to named and set a token_key):

Setup Podman service in Silverblue by Systemd

Tue, 07 Jul 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Into my Devops learning path 👨‍💻 I decided to deploy a monitoring centre into my workstation where I could be able to watch my containers, resources, logs, etc and continue improving my knowledge, in my case I’m using Silverblue developed by Fedora so in here it’s a little bit different the setup; as monitoring tool I choose Cockpit for its great integration and support.

Workstation: Silverblue 🖥️
Container engine: Podman ⚙️
Monitoring tool(app/service):Cockpit 📦

I splinted out the instructions in 4 simple parts:
