### Start up the server

1. Ensure `vm.max_map_count` > 65535: 

   > To check the value of `vm.max_map_count`:
   >
   > ```bash 
   > $ sysctl vm.max_map_count
   > ```
   >
   > Reset `vm.max_map_count` to a value greater than 65535 if it is not.
   >
   > ```bash
   > # In this case, we set it to 262144:
   > $ sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144
   > ```
   >
   > This change will be reset after a system reboot. To ensure your change remains permanent, add or update the `vm.max_map_count` value in **/etc/sysctl.conf** accordingly:
   >
   > ```bash
   > vm.max_map_count=262144
   > ```

2. Clone the repo:

## 🔧 Configurations
writinwaters's avatar
writinwaters committed
When it comes to system configurations, you will need to manage the following files:

- [.env](./docker/.env): Keeps the fundamental setups for the system, such as `SVR_HTTP_PORT`, `MYSQL_PASSWORD`, and `MINIO_PASSWORD`.
- [service_conf.yaml](./docker/service_conf.yaml): Configures the back-end services.
writinwaters's avatar
writinwaters committed
- [docker-compose.yml](./docker/docker-compose.yml): The system relies on [docker-compose.yml](./docker/docker-compose.yml) to start up.
writinwaters's avatar
writinwaters committed
You must ensure that changes to the [.env](./docker/.env) file are in line with what are in the [service_conf.yaml](./docker/service_conf.yaml) file. 
writinwaters's avatar
writinwaters committed
> The [./docker/README](./docker/README.md) file provides a detailed description of the environment settings and service configurations, and it is IMPORTANT to ensure that all environment settings listed in the [./docker/README](./docker/README.md) file are aligned with the corresponding configurations in the [service_conf.yaml](./docker/service_conf.yaml) file.

To change the default serving port (80), go to [docker-compose.yml](./docker/docker-compose.yml) and change `80:80` to `<YOUR_SERVING_PORT>:80`.
