Target: discover technologies and use a web server

1. Create VM

  1. Create a virtual machine on Proxmox (server is accessible through: this link) by cloning the template. The virtual machine must be named team-XX with XX being your team number assigned at the beginning of the tutorial.
  2. Manual configure virtual machine's network to be persistent. Your VM's IP must be 10.99.XX.1/16 with the gateway being 10.99.99.253.
  3. Update /etc/hostnameto reflect the VM's name to the hostname
  4. Update /etc/hosts with the two previous updates
  5. Ensure it can ping google.
  6. Reboot the VM and validate it.

2. First web server

  1. Install nginx. (Hint: if it fails, do not forget to configure your VM's DNS).
  2. Setup a custom/cool static page.

3. First load balancer

  1. Install HAProxy 2.8 (Hint: Search "debian haproxy" on your favorite search engine)
  2. Redirect port 8888 to the previously installed nginx.

4. Docker time

  1. Install docker.
  2. Pull nginx image.
  3. Copy your custom static page into the container.
  4. Reconfigure HAProxy to use port 8889 onto the container.

Target: discover technologies and use a web server

5. First Docker image

  1. Create a Docker image based on nginx:latest that use your previously created static page. This image will be named tXX-web and will use semantic versioning.
  2. Publish this new image on the common registry, located at registry.se4-virt.fr.

6. Nomad installation

  1. Install nomad as a Debian package. See the official documentation
  2. Have Nomad running as client and server. Validate it through its interface which should be accessible through http://10.99.XX.1:4646. (Check it with curl)

7. Access Nomad UI from Zabeth

  1. Add a route on your Zabeth to view Nomad UI from it (Hint: Nomad network is 10.99.0.0/16and hop is 172.26.145.200)
  2. Add a route on your VM to allow traffic back to Zabeth (Hint: Zabeth network is 172.26.145.0/24 and hop is 10.99.99.254)

8. First Nomad deployment

  1. Create a nomad job definition with nomad job init command.
  2. Adapt it to deploy the container you created on step 5.

9. Scale and load-balance

  1. Increase job definition count to run 3 container.
  2. Install Consul locally. (Hint: its Debian package should already be available as you should have installed the Hashicorp repositories for the Nomad install).
  3. Configure Nomad to use the newly installed Consul.
  4. Configure HAProxy to redirect port 8890 to those containers through service discovery.

Target: setup a distributed service + deploy from CI

10. Your Nomad joins the common cluster

  1. Reconfigure Nomad to only be a client.
  2. Use the common nomad by setting its settings to use the common consul (located at consul.se4-virt.fr:8500). (Hint, this example should help you).
  3. You should see your Nomad instance on the common Nomad server and Consul.

11. Starting the "DevOps" way

  1. Create an account on Gitlab https://git.se4-virt.fr[1]
  2. Create a group named teamXX
  3. Create a repository named webunder your teamXXgroup
  4. Under this new repository, store your Dockerfile, your job definition and your static page

12. Automating deployments

This step will make all previous work deployable automatically from Gitlab. Sub steps will be detailed to help you.

  1. Edit your project.nomadfile
    1. Set job name to teamXX-web
    2. Set memory requirement to 128 Mo
    3. Set CPU requirement to 250 MHz
    4. Set count to 4
    5. Set docker image to registry.se4-virt.fr/tXX-web:${CI_COMMIT_SHORT_SHA}
    6. Set service name to tXX-web
    7. Set service tag and port to web
    8. Commit and push your changes
  2. Copy and adapt the .gitlab-ci.ymlavailable here (SE4 Virtualisation TP Wasilewski - Gitlab CI file)

Update job definition in repo / setup CI / deploy new configuration to global nomad

13. Releasing your website to the wild

Update global HAProxy configuration to redirect to the the newly deployed web service.

Your website should now be accessible through http://tXX.se4v.plil.info

Target: build and deploy more complex services

14. Creation of DHCP server

Create new repo as the web repo to build and push a dockerized DHCP server

15. Creation of TFTP server

Create a new repo as the web repo to build and push a dockerized TFTP server with ipxe

16. Creation of your custom Debian image

Create a new repo to build and push on S3 a debootstrap image of latest debian version

Target: boot an OS from the network

17. Host iPXE configuration

Update web server to host an ipxe configuration file boot this new OS

18. Create a remote block disk and use it

Mount `/home/xxx` as rbd volume from Ceph

Now the new OS boots and use remote storage for users.

Target: build a custom OS

19. Your first kernel

Build a kernel (Bonus: less than 50 Mo + boot time < 2s)

20. Your first init

Build an init that displays your team ID on the terminal (Bonus: pimped init banner)

21. Your second init

Build an init that starts network interfaces

Target: create a logging service

22. Even further with init

Create a script / service that request user credentials, checks its validity against /etc/passwd, then mount dynamically user's home from rbd

23. Finally, a working UI

Improve script and update initrd to have a window manager starting after logging
