Used Proxmox to install the VM
Image: ubuntu-24.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso
Resources: 2 cores, 4096 RAM
During the install Include:
Qemu
SSH
Docker
sudo apt update # Fetches the list of available updates
sudo apt upgrade # Installs some updates; does not remove packages
sudo apt full-upgrade # Installs updates; may also remove some packages, if needed
sudo apt autoremove # Removes any old packages that are no longer needed
source: askubuntu.com
Update Docker
Check that Docker is running
sudo docker run hello-world
Update the time zone
sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/Toronto
# For most Intel/AMD-based systems :
docker pull toggledbits/reactor:latest-amd64
Start the Reactor Container
# Typically for Generic (modify with username below):
docker run --name reactor -d --restart on-failure -p 8111:8111 -p 8554:8554 \
-v /home/manager/reactor:/var/reactor \
--mount type=bind,src=/etc/localtime,target=/etc/localtime \
toggledbits/reactor:latest-amd64
source:reactor.toggledbits.com
Note:
Ubuntu prompts for a server name. ie servervm
This allows access to the reactor via http:\\servervm:8111.
If you ssh to the server using the server name to do the install, then using the IP address directly will give an error when trying to remove the "About" default start up page in Reactor.
