Docker installation and creating a user and directories
Preparation guide for MikoPBX using Docker
Installing Docker and Docker Compose on Ubuntu 22.04
Before working with Docker, you need to install Docker and Docker Compose themselves. Here's how to do it:
# Update package list and install required dependencies
sudo apt update
sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common
# Add the GPG key for Docker's official repository
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
# Add Docker's repository to the APT sources list
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
# Install Docker CE
sudo apt update
sudo apt install docker-ce
# Install Docker Compose
sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
# Verify Docker Compose version
sudo docker-compose --version
Creating a user and directories on the host system
Before creating the container on the host machine, it's necessary to create a user and group with limited permissions, as well as a folder for storing configuration settings and call recordings
# Creating a new user (e.g., www-user) without superuser rights
sudo adduser --disabled-password --gecos "" www-user
# Creating directories for data storage
sudo mkdir -p /var/spool/mikopbx/cf
sudo mkdir -p /var/spool/mikopbx/storage
# Granting the created user ownership of the directories
sudo chown -R www-user:www-user /var/spool/mikopbx/
