# Noisy Baja

A playground for learning how to configure a combination of Federated

Wiki, Traefik load-balancer, and docker-compose to tie them

together. Some chance this will grow to become the basis of a

full-featured commons wiki server, but we confine ourselves to a

sandbox for now to build some confidence in the configurations and

abstractions we discover.

# Bootstrapping

### Droplet

Created a Digital Ocean droplet with the docker template from the

marketplace.  https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/docker

### Clone sourcecode

    git clone https://github.com/Commons-Server/noisy-baja.git

    cd noisy-baja

### Customize your .env file

    cp ./.env.example .env

Edit `.env` with your own sub-domain and Let's Encrypt email addresses.

### DNS

Created an A record for sub-domain (in my case commons.dbbs.co) to the

IP of new droplet.

Created a companion wildcard CNAME (*.commons.dbbs.co) pointed at the

sub-domain.

Created an API token, specifically a "Personal access token" with both

read and write access.

(https://cloud.digitalocean.com/account/api/tokens). Digital Ocean

will only let you see this token at the time you create it. So copy

the token from the UI and paste the value into a new file:

`./keys/do-auth-token`. For good measure also limited the file

permissions like so:

    chmod 600 ./keys/do-auth-token

This token gets rsync'd to the droplet in the step below. It is worth noting that as the ./keys folder has been specified in the .gitignore file, we avoid the risk of checking this file back into GitHub. The traefik load-balancer uses this key for Let's Encrypt's DNS-based challenge.

### Wiki Config

We will setup the example using friends security.

    cd examples/friends

    cp .env.example .env

Edit the `.env` file with your own DOMAIN, COOKIE_SECRET, AUTHOR and

PASSWORD. Then rsync the configs to the digital ocean droplet.

    cd ../..

    source .env

    ssh root@$DOMAIN mkdir -p Commons-Server/noisy-baja

    rsync -rzP --exclude='.git/' ./ root@$DOMAIN:Commons-Server/noisy-baja/

Install the friends configuration

    ssh root@$DOMAIN

    cd Commons-Server/noisy-baja

    docker-compose \

      -f docker-compose.yaml \

      -f examples/friends/docker-compose.yaml \

      run --rm config

### Start Containers
