RemoteDockersMgr

Web API to Manage docker instances on remote hosts

On API Server

Setup

cp config.yaml.ori config.yaml

For SSH connexion, please provide the password: password: xxxxxxx Or the private key path: privatekeyfile: mycreds/id_rsa.priv

Note: The password is prioritary over the private key file, if both are provided, the password will be used. For security reasons, it is recommended to use the private key file.

How to add authentication with a secret

• Convert the string to base64
• Add ?secret=base64string to the URL to access the API (do not forget to replace base64string by the base64 string)

cat /etc/docker/daemon.json

{
  "log-driver": "json-file",
  "log-opts": {
    "max-size": "10m",
    "max-file": "3"

Use the same Timezone on all servers

timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Paris ## Replace Europe/Paris by your timezone

Set the time from the internet

timedatectl set-ntp true
