Run Virola-server in Docker Container on Ubuntu Linux

We tested this instruction on freshly installed Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04, 21.04, 21.10, 22.04

1. Install Docker Engine on Ubuntu Linux

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release
   sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
   sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
   echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin
   

2. Download the Virola Server Docker Image

   wget https://virola.io/downloads/2.3.1.24110614/virola-server-docker-2.3.1.24110614.tar.gz;
   

3. Load the Docker Image into Container
   

   docker load < virola-server-docker-2.3.1.24110614.tar.gz
   

4. Run Virola server in Docker

   docker run -it --rm -p 8888:7777/tcp -p 8888:7777/udp -v $HOME/virola-storage:/virola providesupport/virola-server:latest
   

   Where:
   • 8888 — the port you want to listen on from the outside and to which the virola client will connect. Can be any valid port number (from 1 to 65535), but must be the same for both TCP and UDP protocols;
   • 7777 — is the port inside the Docker container, which must be 7777 and cannot be changed.
   You may also need to open the TCP and UDP ports in the system firewall.
