Can someone walk me through setting up a bare-metal CoreOS server? I am lost when it comes to crap like cloud-config and stuff. Their quickstart guide just says to make one........WTF HOW?!!! Their documentation is weak. All I want is an OS that will run my docker containers with a nice webUI. I have containers for my Sonarr, SABnzb, Emby Server, Transmission/OpenVPN, etc.
I'm not too familiar with it, but I'll do a guide once I figure it out.
To start with I would recommend taking a look at Digital Ocean. Deploy one of there droplets. A droplet is just Digital Ocean lingo for a vps server. They have a 1 click deploy for CentOS 7. After that generate an ssh key, then we will talk.
I have a Digital Ocean Account. I have an SSH key. I have had these things for a couple years now. No, I am not setting up a DigitalOcean server. I am working with a Bare-metal box sitting right next to me.
To be specific, I already have a CoreOS droplet but even with the SSH Key, I cant login. So, I am getting fed up with these Docker OS's that dont have an easier method of installation and management. You can take your CLI management and shove it. I do enough manual typing as it is.
Alrighty ye we negative nancy, hows abouts you links me to whatever guides you are using? Mayhaps I can helps ya that ways.
Do you not know the root password? And or not have the SSH key?
there is no root account or password. And I do have the SSH key. I dont know how to create the config file etc.
So the corresponding public/private ssh keys are in the correct spots on your machine and on the server?
yes afaik. putty to connect and auth set to use the private key.
I tried to connect to a droplet I spun up using the "ssh -A [email protected]" command. It got me to the password prompt.
So in terminal I typed the following commands:
1.) eval $(ssh-agent)
2.) ssh-add
3.) ssh -A [email protected]
That should really work as far as I know. I can set it back up and test tomorrow if need be.
Best of luck and good night.
yeah, it gets me to the password prompt........but there is no password. It is SSH KEY only. cant get past the password.
Did you try "ssh root@ip" with said key? If that doesn't work I am not sure you will be able to get in to it.
yep. Ive followed the guide, tried it on Digital Ocean to no avail.
I guess Im just going to install Fedora Server 24, add Docker and go from there.
Hey, sorry we couldn't get it working. Shit happens though.
