Documentation

docker-compose.yml

The docker-compose.yml file will add the following services:

1. Kong-OSS
2. FastAPI
3. MySQL
4. PostgreSQL

• Run sudo docker-compose up to build and run the services
• FastAPI will be available on 127.0.0.1:9090 . Send a request using httpie or curl http '127.0.0.1:9090/reports?fname=สุภารัตน์'

Install and Configure Konga

Konga's docker image is outdated and wont run without fatal errors. The solution is build Konga from source and run it in a LXC container.

Check your LXC installation.

Ubuntu distros already have LXC installed. To confirm run sudo lxc --version the current version on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is 4.0.8.

Pull Ubuntu 20.04 image and start

• Run sudo lxc image list images:ubuntu | grep focal | grep container
• Copy the hash for the 64bit container. Make sure you are not selecting a cloud or desktop container.
• Run sudo lxc launch images:<focal-fossa-hash> konga
• From the image the correct hash is f6734866c479. To start a LXC container the command becomes sudo lxc launch images:f6734866c479 konga

Login to the newly created LXC image

Run sudo lxc exec konga -- /bin/bash

Install dependencies

After logging into the container the next step will be to install dependencies.

1. Run sudo apt install postgresql git build-essential
2. Run cd /opt && sudo git clone https://github.com/pantsel/konga.git
3. sudo curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Run Konga

To complete the install follow the instructions at https://github.com/pantsel/konga#production

Extracted from the Konga github page

1. Run migrations with node ./bin/konga.js prepare --adapter postgres --uri postgresql://localhost:5432/konga
2. $ npm run bower-deps
3. $ npm run production to start Konga
4. Konga should be avaliable at http://localhost:1337
