Scripts for building containers for the Proxmox home server

Inital Setup

The fist step is to build the containers needed for building all other containers. This can be done on a Minimal debian CT (make sure to enable nesting) on the new proxmox server or any other debian install

Clone this repo
cd in to cloned repo
run bash Scripts/FirstSetup.sh, to genate the container images
upload the Debian-imgbuilder.tar.xz to the proxmox server and create a privileged container
Follow the steps under Container Setup > imgbuilder
Follow the steps under Container Setup > Jenkins

imgbuilder

This container shoud be set up as privileged

Enable features: Fuse, Nesting and 'Create Device Nodes'
Add a mountpoint to /LXCBuild on a accesable place for the Proxmox Server
Add this location to datastore for LXC templates to Proxmox
Set the jenkins user password using passwd jenkins in the container
Create folders on mountpoint using mkdir /LXCBuild/template/cache
Set permissions on the folder chmod o+w -R /LXCBuild
Write down the ip of this server (for use in the jenkins container)

Jenkins

In the container run the setup script bash /opt/Setup/Scripts/FirstRun.sh
Acces Jenkins using http://<ip>:8080
Press the X to skip the fist time setup
Delete the Admin user go to 'Manage Jenkins' > 'Manage Users' > Admin > Delete
