With the use of *Linux Containers* (LXC_) we can scale our tasks over a stack of
containers, what we call the: *lxc suite*. The *SearXNG suite*
(:origin:`lxc-searx.env <utils/lxc-searx.env>`) is loaded by default, every time
you start the ``lxc.sh`` script (*you do not need to care about*).
Before you can start with containers, you need to install and initiate LXD_
once::
$ snap install lxd
$ lxd init --auto
To make use of the containers from the *SearXNG suite*, you have to build the
:ref:`LXC suite containers <lxc.sh help>` initial. But be warned, **this might
take some time**::
$ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh build
A cup of coffee later, your LXC suite is build up and you can run whatever task
you want / in a selected or even in all :ref:`LXC suite containers <lxc.sh
help>`.
.. hint::
If you see any problems with the internet connectivity of your
containers read section :ref:`internet connectivity docker`.
If you do not want to build all containers, **you can build just one**::
$ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh build searx-ubu1804
*Good to know ...*
Each container shares the root folder of the repository and the command
``utils/lxc.sh cmd`` **handles relative path names transparent**, compare output
of::
$ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd -- ls -la Makefile
...
In the containers, you can run what ever you want, e.g. to start a bash use::
$ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd searx-ubu1804 bash
INFO: [searx-ubu1804] bash
root@searx-ubu1804:/share/searx#
If there comes the time you want to **get rid off all** the containers and
**clean up local images** just type::
$ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh remove
$ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh remove images
.. _internet connectivity docker:
Internet Connectivity & Docker
==============================
.. sidebar:: further read
- `Docker blocking network of existing LXC containers <https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/103>`__
- `Docker and IPtables (fralef.me) <https://fralef.me/docker-and-iptables.html>`__
- `Docker and iptables (docker.com) <https://docs.docker.com/network/iptables/#docker-on-a-router/>`__
There is a conflict in the ``iptables`` setup of Docker & LXC. If you have
docker installed, you may find that the internet connectivity of your LXD
containers no longer work.
Whenever docker is started (reboot) it sets the iptables policy for the
``FORWARD`` chain to ``DROP`` `[ref]
<https://docs.docker.com/network/iptables/#docker-on-a-router>`__::
$ sudo -H iptables-save | grep FORWARD
:FORWARD ACCEPT [7048:7851230]
:FORWARD DROP [7048:7851230]
A handy solution of this problem might be to reset the policy for the
``FORWARD`` chain after the network has been initialized. For this create a
file in the ``if-up`` section of the network (``/etc/network/if-up.d/iptable``)
and insert the following lines::
#!/bin/sh
iptables -F FORWARD
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
Don't forget to set the execution bit::
sudo chmod ugo+x /etc/network/if-up.d/iptable
Reboot your system and check the iptables rules::
$ sudo -H iptables-save | grep FORWARD
:FORWARD ACCEPT [7048:7851230]
:FORWARD ACCEPT [7048:7851230]
.. _lxc.sh install suite:
Install suite
=============
To install the complete :ref:`SearXNG suite (includes searx, morty & filtron)
<lxc-searx.env>` into all LXC_ use::
$ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh install suite
The command above installs a SearXNG suite (see :ref:`installation scripts`). To
get the IP (URL) of the filtron service in the containers use ``show suite``
command. To test instances from containers just open the URLs in your
WEB-Browser::
$ sudo ./utils/lxc.sh show suite | grep filtron
[searx-ubu1604] INFO: (eth0) filtron: http://n.n.n.246:4004/ http://n.n.n.246/searx
[searx-ubu1804] INFO: (eth0) filtron: http://n.n.n.147:4004/ http://n.n.n.147/searx
[searx-ubu1910] INFO: (eth0) filtron: http://n.n.n.140:4004/ http://n.n.n.140/searx
[searx-ubu2004] INFO: (eth0) filtron: http://n.n.n.18:4004/ http://n.n.n.18/searx
[searx-fedora31] INFO: (eth0) filtron: http://n.n.n.46:4004/ http://n.n.n.46/searx
[searx-archlinux] INFO: (eth0) filtron: http://n.n.n.32:4004/ http://n.n.n.32/searx
To :ref:`install a nginx <installation nginx>` reverse proxy for filtron and
morty use (or alternatively use :ref:`apache <installation apache>`)::
sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd -- FORCE_TIMEOUT=0 ./utils/filtron.sh nginx install
sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd -- FORCE_TIMEOUT=0 ./utils/morty.sh nginx install
Running commands
================
**Inside containers, you can use make or run scripts** from the
:ref:`toolboxing`. By example: to setup a :ref:`buildhosts` and run the
Makefile target ``test`` in the archlinux_ container::
sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd searx-archlinux ./utils/searx.sh install buildhost
sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd searx-archlinux make test
Setup SearXNG buildhost
=======================
You can **install the SearXNG buildhost environment** into one or all containers.
The installation procedure to set up a :ref:`build host<buildhosts>` takes its
time. Installation in all containers will take more time (time for another cup
of coffee).::
sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd -- ./utils/searx.sh install buildhost
To build (live) documentation inside a archlinux_ container::
sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd searx-archlinux make docs.clean docs.live
...
[I 200331 15:00:42 server:296] Serving on http://0.0.0.0:8080
To get IP of the container and the port number *live docs* is listening::
$ sudo ./utils/lxc.sh show suite | grep docs.live
...
[searx-archlinux] INFO: (eth0) docs.live: http://n.n.n.12:8080/
