Running Redmine using Docker

Run into Docker recently and would like to work on something. Let's try on running Redmine using Docker. Following are the steps to get it running in your localhost:

1. Install and get docker running in your PC.
2. Run into command prompt and start doing the real docker job.
3. In the command prompt pull Redmine using the following command:

$ docker pull redmine

4. Once you docker pull redmine successfully, now you can run redmine in a container using the following command:

$ docker run -d -P --name myRedmine redmine

    -d will detach out terminal

    -P will publish all exposed ports to random ports

    -name corresponds to a name we want to give

5. Now we can see the ports by running the following 

$ docker port myRedmine
3000/tcp -> 0.0.0.0:32769


6. You can now open http://localhost:32769. You might need to wait a while for redmine to start.

7. You can also specify a custom port to which the client will forward connections to the container using the following command :

$ docker run -d -p 8080:3000 --name myRedmine redmine

Raspberry PI Zero and Raspberry PI Zero W

Heard of a US$5 dollar cheap PC for a long time - Raspberry PI Zero, but haven't have a chance to get in touch in 1 with the said price in Malaysia. Finally, bought my self a Raspberry PI Zero from a local online store for RM20 and a WIFI version for RM40. Those who are interest as well can refer to the link below :

Raspberry PI Zero for RM20 

Raspberry PI Zero with WIFI for RM40 

I personally prefer Raspberry PI Zero with WIFI as it's easier to get connected to the internet for configuration. To setup the the Pi, you can download the respbian images from the following location :

Raspian Images

I shall put on the steps in a separate blog entry later for setting up the PI. So please stay tune with me.

Buying Crypto currency (Bitcoin, Ethereum) in Malaysia

Due to the price spike for Bitcoin last year (2017), it attracted a lots of eyeball to eyes on crypto currency like BitCoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Dash Coin, Lite Coin, etc. As a IT profession that involve very much into IT world, I've been ask by many friend on CryptoCurrency and therefore, started to do some research on it.

As a Malaysian, I found that it's not that straight forward for Malaysia to buy CryptoCurrency. In fact there is less platform available for us. Following are the 2 platform that's available for us to buy CryptoCurrency :

Remitano. Escrow Trade for CryptoCurrency available to Malaysia

Luno. Another Platform to buying coin, but not available to deposit for Malaysia at the moment.

However, referring to the above platform, we can only buy BitCoin (BTC) and Etherem (ETH) at the moment, to buy / trade others coin like Ripples, Tron, NEO, etc, there are still some steps need to be carry out which i am going to share in another post :

Running Docker in my OrangePi Lite

Fascinated to mini PC for sometimes already. Only recently have some free time to play around with my long purchased OrangePi Lite. As an alternative for Raspberry Pi, I got my H3 ARM, Cortex-A7 Quad Core, 512mb RAM OrangePi Lite, for less than USD$14. After tried several way which didn't work, i have found the following setup are able to run Docker : 

1. download the armbian server image using the following link :
    https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-lite/
2. burn the image using Win32DiskImage into a SD card with minimum 8GB storage
3. Plugin the SD card into the OrangePi Lite slot and start the OrangePi.
4. Following the instruction on the screen to configure your account and finally reboot the device. 
5. Run "armbian-config" to configure WIFI connection.
6. Within armbian-config, switch to use to use Dev builds instead of stable build.
7. run apt-update and then apt-upgrade.
8. reboot the device. After reboot, we are ready to setup docker.
9. Use the following steps to setup docker :

    i. Install packages to allow apt to use a repository over HTTPS:

$ sudo apt-get install \
    apt-transport-https \
    ca-certificates \
    curl \
    software-properties-common

    ii. Add Docker’s official GPG key:

$ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

    iii. Verify that you now have the key with the fingerprint:

9DC8 5822 9FC7 DD38 854A E2D8 8D81 803C 0EBF CD88,

 by searching for the last 8 characters of the fingerprint.

$ sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88

pub   4096R/0EBFCD88 2017-02-22
      Key fingerprint = 9DC8 5822 9FC7 DD38 854A  E2D8 8D81 803C 0EBF CD88
uid                  Docker Release (CE deb) 
sub   4096R/F273FCD8 2017-02-22

    iv. Use the following command to set up the stable repository. You always need the stable repository, even if you want to install builds from the edge or test repositories as well. To add the edge or testrepository, add the word edge or test (or both) after the word stable in the commands below.

Note: The lsb_release -cs sub-command below returns the name of your Ubuntu distribution, such as xenial. Sometimes, in a distribution like Linux Mint, you might have to change $(lsb_release -cs) to your parent Ubuntu distribution. For example, if you are usingLinux Mint Rafaela, you could use trusty.

armhf:

$ sudo add-apt-repository \
   "deb [arch=armhf] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
   $(lsb_release -cs) \
   stable"

    v. Install the latest version of Docker CE, or go to the next step to install a specific version. Any existing installation of Docker is replaced.

$ sudo apt-get install docker-c

    vi. Verify that Docker CE is installed correctly by running the hello-world image.

$ sudo docker run hello-world

This command downloads a test image and runs it in a container. When the container runs, it prints an informational message and exits.
