How to build NetMaker from source after running NetMaker from Docker

netmaker-build-from-source.md

For this setup, I use three VMs, one for server , two for clients

• follow the steps Quick Install to run the Quick Install(docker version)

• docker compose down the quick install servers

  • docker-compose down

• Fork NetMaker and NetMaker-UI

• create ssh key on server

  • ssh-keygen -t ed25519

• Clone both repos on server VM

• install golang

  • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:longsleep/golang-backports
  • sudo apt update
  • sudo apt install golang-go

• install JS env

  • apt install nodejs
  • apt install npm
  • sudo npm install -g n
  • sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/n
  • sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/n
  • sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin /usr/local/lib /usr/local/include /usr/local/share
  • sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/bin /usr/local/lib /usr/local/include /usr/local/share
  • n lts

• install and setup sqlite(might not need) on server VM

  • apt install sqlite

• apt install caddy on server VM

  • apt update -y && apt upgrade -y
  • curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/stable/gpg.key' | sudo apt-key add -
  • curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/caddy/stable/debian.deb.txt' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/caddy-stable.list
  • apt update
  • apt install caddy

• apt install mosquitto on server VM

  • apt install mosquitto

• check docker compose file to extract data and setup in each server

• configure caddy

  • change the content in Caddy file from quick install and replace the /etc/caddy/Caddyfile

• configure mosquitto

• configure sqlite

• build and copy netclient to client VM

  • cd NetMaker Repo
  • go build
  • cd netclient
  • go build

• run netmaker server

  • create .env file with all the env vars in docker-compose with : export NAME="value"
  • post my sanitized one here :-)

#!/bin/sh

• source .env
• sudo ./netmaker

• run netmake-ui server
  • create .env file add export PORT=8082

#!/bin/sh

export BACKEND_URL="https://api.netmaker.10-172-192-99.nip.io"
export PORT=8082

• npm i
• npm start

• follow previous steps to run netclients
