Deploying

I wrote a script to deploy libreNMS with the configuration that SCN uses. The repo is here

Software requirements

Only tested on debian and ubuntu. Not sure what else it works on but it could work on other linux distros

Steps

1. Install docker if it is not installed already
2. Install docker compose if it is not installed already
3. Instal unzip if it is not installed already
4. Check out this repo
5. If you want to restore a previous install, provide a sqldump named librenms.sql flat in this checked out repo. There is a helper script called get_database_from_currently_running_server.sh to get the database off of the non dockerized install (needs ssh access to the server)
6. If you want to restore the graphs too, you can provide a file named rrd.zip flat in the checked out repo which is just the rrd folder ziped up. There is a helper script called get_rrd_zip_from_currently_running_server.sh to get the rrd zip from the non dockerized install (needs ssh access to the server)
7. Run ./deploy.sh
8. builds the librenms image
9. builds the database image with/without the backup
10. Starts the service using docker compose. This creates 2 shared volumes in the compose directory
    1. The librenms folder is for the librenms docker images to share configuration data including rrd files
    2. The db volume is the database
11. unzips the rrd folder in the rrd directory of the shared librenms volume

The UI will run on port 8000
