kong - initial setup

Below are some initial setup steps to consider.

Note

Following commands below are written for Debian 11 on a fresh installed system.

docker

Docker has no settings by default regarding logrotation, so you need to add those so that your server doesn't get full.

In the config/ folder you can find docker-daemon.json, which contains the retention settings for docker.

Steps

1. Copy config/docker-daemon.json to docker

   sudo cp config/docker-daemon.json /etc/docker/daemon.json

2. Restart docker (containerd)

   sudo systemctl restart containerd.service

systemd

Due to the configuration of restart in docker-compose.yml, the Kong gateway is not starting on boot.

Therefor you need to add Kong to systemd so that it starts.

In the config/ folder you can find systemd-kong.service which you should place in the appropriate location.

Adjust the location where the docker-compose.yml file is located on your system, else it will try to run docker compose in /opt/tibiadata/tibiadata-docker-compose/kong.

Steps

1. Copy config/system-kong.service file to systemd

   sudo cp config/system-kong.service /lib/systemd/system/kong.service

2. Edit the kong.service file

   sudo vim /lib/systemd/system/kong.service

3. Enable systemd to start kong on boot

   sudo systemctl enable kong.service
