    Create a mempool.space instance in Proxmox

Create the CT


Debian 12 image
4 CPU cores
8GB disk in local-lvm
4096 MB RAM, 0 MB swap

Enable ssh

nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

# In sshd_config:
PermitRootLogin yes
Exit and save changes, restart ssh
/etc/init.d/ssh restart
Install docker

Modified from the steps here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/
for pkg in docker.io docker-doc docker-compose podman-docker containerd runc; do apt-get remove $pkg; done
# Add Docker's official GPG key:
apt-get update
apt-get install ca-certificates curl gnupg -y
install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg

# Add the repository to Apt sources:
echo \
  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian \
  $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | \
   tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
apt-get update
apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin -y
docker run hello-world
Clone the mempool.space project

apt install git -y
git clone https://github.com/mempool/mempool.git
Set permissions on dirs needed by the container
cd ~/mempool/docker
chown -R 1000:1000 mysql
Start the mempool.space container

cd ~/mempool/docker
docker compose up
If successful, the webserver will be running port 80
Shut down the container

docker compose down
Set up as a service to run automatically

nano /etc/systemd/system/mempool.service

# In the text editor:
[Unit]
Description=mempool
After=network.target

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/root/mempool/docker
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker compose up
TimeoutStopSec=30min
Restart=always
StandardOutput=append:/root/stdout.log
StandardError=append:/root/error.log

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Load the new service and run:
systemctl enable elementsd
systemctl start elementsd
If you make further service config changes, load your new changes with:
systemctl daemon-reload
Set up logrotate

nano /etc/logrotate.d/mempool.conf

# config details
/root/*.log {
    minage 2
    rotate 6
    size 10M
    compress
    delaycompress
    endscript
}
