Add languages to PHP Docker Container

Recently I have noticed that the output of the following code shows the month in the wrong language (English instead of German):

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Berlin');
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE.utf8');
$date_now = date('Y-m-d');
echo strftime('%B %Y', strtotime($date_now));

This can be solved by installing the required language in the docker container. Unfortunately there is a bug which prevents that the languages can be easy activated by locale-gen <lang-code>. So you have to enable them in /etc/locale.gen first and then generate them with locale-gen. This code solves the problem:

FROM php:7-apache

[...]

# install localisation
RUN apt-get update && \
    # locales
    apt-get install -y locales

# enable localisation and generates localisation files
RUN sed -i -e 's/# de_DE ISO-8859-1/de_DE ISO-8859-1/' /etc/locale.gen && \ # to uncomment the lange
    sed -i -e 's/# <your lang code from locale.gen>/<your lang code from locale.gen again>/' /etc/locale.gen && \
    locale-gen

[...]

Or you could install all available languages:

FROM php:7-apache

[...]

# install localisation
RUN apt-get update && \
    # locales
    apt-get install -y locales locales-all

[...]

If you perform a dry run in the container, you must restart Apache for see the changes.

Preparing a Root-Server and install Docker-CE

This is my personal note list for preparing a root server. The list is not complete and may contain errors.

Network setup

  • Install OS as usual or use image from Control Panel

Network setup

  • Set/check fixed ip
  • Set the "Reverse DNS" entry in Control Panel
  • Add local user
    useradd <username>
    usermod -aG sudo <username>
  • Set hostname
    sudo hostnamectl set-hostname <hostname>
  • Edit the /etc/hosts file
  • Edit the /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg file if exists (preserve_hostname: false to true)
  • Edit the /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml

SSH

  • Add pubkey to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
  • Disable SSH login with password and permit root login in /etc/ssh/sshd_config file
PasswordAuthentication no
PubkeyAuthentication yes
PermitRootLogin no
  • Restart SSH Daemon
    service sshd restart

VIM

  • VIM Color open ~/.vimrc and add
colorsheme desert
syntax on

Enable unattended upgrades

sudo apt-get install unattended-upgrades
sudo dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades

Docker

  • Install docker-ce here
  • Install docker-compose
    sudo apt-get install docker-compose-plugin
  • Install docker-compose here
  • Install docker-compose command completion here
  • add username to docker group (source)
    sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Logrotate for Docker

  • Create Logrotate config file for Docker containers under /etc/logrotate.d/docker-container with the following content:
/var/lib/docker/containers/*/*.log {
  rotate 8
  weekly
  compress
  missingok
  delaycompress
  copytruncate
}
  • Test it with: logrotate -fv /etc/logrotate.d/docker-container

Docker Compose aliases

  • Create or append to ~/.bash_aliases:
alias dc='docker compose'
alias dcl='docker compose logs -f --tail=200'
alias dce='docker compose exec'
alias dcb='docker compose up --build -d'
alias dcu='docker compose up -d'
alias dcul='docker compose up -d && docker-compose logs -f --tail=50'
alias dcd='docker compose down --remove-orphans'
alias dcdu='docker compose down --remove-orphans && docker compose up -d'
alias dcdul='docker compose down --remove-orphans && docker compose up -d && docker compose logs -f --tail=50' 
alias dcdb='docker compose down --remove-orphans && docker compose up --build -d'
alias dcdbl='docker compose down --remove-orphans && docker compose up --build -d && docker compose logs -f --tail=50'

Docker after dist upgrade

  • Update key
    curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
  • Re-enable repo
    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
  • update the package database with the Docker packages from the newly added repo:
    sudo apt-get update
  • Make sure you are install from the Docker repo instead of the default Ubuntu repo:
    apt-cache policy docker-ce
  • upgrade packes
    sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
  • reboot

fail2ban

  • Install fail2ban with sudo apt-get install fail2ban
  • Create config file /etc/fail2ban/jail.local and add a jail for the SSH Deamon
