OLE Server

How to set up a new National BeLL

Step 1 - On GoDaddy.com, add a CNAME Record to DNS Server to point the new Domain to the server

For example: examplebell.ole.org -> hammock.media.mit.edu

Step 2 - On the server, start a new Docker Container running CouchDB

Example: Use the docker run command to create a new container based on the klaemo/couchdb image, call it examplebell (or whatever new name you desire) and set it to map port 5984 on the inside of the container to the outside host machine's port of 5990 (or whatever new port you desire).

docker run -d -p 5990:5984 --name examplebell klaemo/couchdb;

Now run docker ps and you'll see that the examplebell container is running. Doing a curl -XGET http://127.0.0.1:5990 will return a hello from CouchDB running inside the examplebell container.

Step 3 - On the server, Configure the Docker Container to start after a reboot

On the Edit the /root/hammock.sh script that run at boot. After the last docker start xxx script, add two lines to start your new Docker Container at boot.

sleep 3;
docker start examplebell;

Step 4 - On the server, map the Domain to the Container Port number

Add a new mapping to the options object found in /root/oleproxy/server.js. Example: To map examplebell.ole.org to port 5990 on the host machine, edit the options object in /root/oleproxy/server.js from this...

var options = {  
  "18.85.44.139":"http://127.0.0.1:5984", // DO NOT DELETE, this will crash the entire router if you do once someone hits the server by IP 
  "earthbell-qa.ole.org": "http://127.0.0.1:5985", 
  "nationalbell-qa.ole.org": "http://127.0.0.1:5986", 
  "somaliabell.ole.org": "http://127.0.0.1:5987", 
  "ubuntubell.ole.org": "http://127.0.0.1:5988", 
  "earthbell.ole.org": "http://127.0.0.1:5989"
}

to this...

var options = {  
  "18.85.44.139":"http://127.0.0.1:5984", // DO NOT DELETE, this will crash the entire router if you do once someone hits the server by IP 
  "earthbell-qa.ole.org": "http://127.0.0.1:5985", 
  "nationalbell-qa.ole.org": "http://127.0.0.1:5986", 
  "somaliabell.ole.org": "http://127.0.0.1:5987", 
  "ubuntubell.ole.org": "http://127.0.0.1:5988", 
  "earthbell.ole.org": "http://127.0.0.1:5989",
  "examplebell.ole.org": "http://127.0.0.1:5990"
}
