Login to local VM and run the commands for initial setup

go the correct directory

cd ~/waldur-docker-compose/

generate a global secret key for Waldur

export SECRET_KEY=$(tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 </dev/urandom | head -c 30 ; echo '')

replace the default secret key in the .env file

sed -i "s/GLOBAL_SECRET_KEY=changeme/GLOBAL_SECRET_KEY=${SECRET_KEY}/" .env

replace the default secret key in the .env file, you need to check the public IP of the instance in the cloud console

sed -i 's/WALDUR_DOMAIN=localhost/WALDUR_DOMAIN="<Public IP>.nip.io"/' .env

add the current user to the docker group

sudo usermod -aG docker $USER newgrp docker

Boot up and verify the container:

start containers

docker compose up -d

verify the deployment

docker compose ps docker exec -t waldur-mastermind-worker status
