Installation of exchanger-web / DONE

Docker

Prepare dependencies

apt install -y nano sudo curl wget
apt update
apt upgrade -y

1. Install Docker and Docker Compose

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sudo sh get-docker.sh

2. Create runner user and add it to sudoers

sudo adduser --disabled-password --gecos "" runner
sudo usermod -aG sudo runner

3. Create docker group and add user to it

sudo usermod -aG docker runner

4. Switch to a 'runner' user

sudo su runner

newgrp docker

5. Create docker network

docker network create --subnet 10.1.0.0/24 exchanger-net

6. Docker login

• Create a Personal Access Token in GitLab

• Make sure to tick the read_registry permission scope

• Create a reminder to update the PAT after expiration date, as once it expires you lose access for updates. https://git.boxexchanger.net/-/profile/personal_access_tokens

• Login to docker read_registry

  docker login rg.boxexchanger.net
  
  # Username: your_gitlab_username
  # Password: your_gitlab_pat

7. Create required folders

mkdir -p /home/runner/web_server
mkdir -p /home/runner/web_server/config
mkdir -p /home/runner/web_server/public
cd /home/runner/web_server

8. Place basic nginx config server_names_hash_bucket_size.conf

nano /home/runner/web_server/server_names_hash_bucket_size.conf

with content:

server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;

9. Place basic nginx config nginx_default.conf

nano /home/runner/web_server/nginx_default.conf 

with content:

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    server_name _;
    return 500;
}

10. Place Nginx nginx_admin.conf config

If you are using separate server for web and api change proxy_pass http://nginx-api:3000/service/ to http://ip.your.api.serveri:3000/service/ and expose port 3000 from your api server

nano /home/runner/web_server/nginx_admin.conf

map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
    default upgrade;
    ""      close;
}

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name admin.domain.name;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://exchanger-admin-web:80;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
        proxy_redirect off;
    }
    
    location /service/ {
        proxy_pass http://nginx-api:3000/service/;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
        proxy_redirect off;
    }
    location /ws/ {
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
        proxy_pass http://nginx-api:3000/ws/;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto https;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Server $host;
        proxy_redirect    off;
    }
    
    access_log off;
    error_log  /var/log/nginx-admin-error.log error;
    sendfile off;
    client_max_body_size 100m;
}

11. Place Nginx nginx_web.conf config

nano /home/runner/web_server/nginx_web.conf

map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
    default upgrade;
    ""      close;
}
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name domain.name;
    return 301 https://www.domain.name$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name www.domain.name;
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://exchanger-client-web:80;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
        proxy_redirect off;
    }
    location /service/ {
        proxy_pass http://nginx-api:3000/service/;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        add_header CF-IPCountry $http_cf_ipcountry always;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
        proxy_redirect off;
    }
    location /ref/ {

    access_log off;
    error_log  /var/log/nginx-error.log error;
    sendfile off;
    client_max_body_size 100m;
}

12. Create your docker-compose.yml

nano /home/runner/web_server/docker-compose.yml

Below example of docker compose file where you must change $VCS_NAMESPACE to your git group path for example bx4/project-name default branch :box :master if you have your own changes in your own branch please change :box to your container build tag

version: '3'
services:
  nginx-web:
    image: nginx
    container_name: nginx-web
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"
    networks:
      exchanger-net:
        ipv4_address: 10.1.0.250
    volumes:
      - ./server_names_hash_bucket_size.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/server_names_hash_bucket_size.conf:ro
      - ./nginx_default.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:ro
      - ./nginx_web.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/web.conf:ro
      - ./nginx_admin.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/admin.conf:ro
  exchanger-admin-web:
    image: rg.boxexchanger.net/$VCS_NAMESPACE/exchanger-admin-web:master
    container_name: exchanger-admin-web
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      exchanger-net:
        ipv4_address: 10.1.0.5
  exchanger-client-web:
    image: rg.boxexchanger.net/$VCS_NAMESPACE/exchanger-client-web:box
    container_name: exchanger-client-web
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks:
      exchanger-net:
        ipv4_address: 10.1.0.4
networks:
    exchanger-net:
        external: true

13. Start WEB server

docker compose up -d

All web configuration and request for build project you find in your personal account on our website https://licence.boxexchanger.net/licenses/

Server Side Render: \

• Attention! This mod is not recommended for use; it creates a load on the server to build the project for each client, which greatly increases the delay in loading the site

To enable SSR mode add variable SSR = 1 in your account https://licence.boxexchanger.net/licenses/ then run pipeline for build project and fetch build on your server.
