Server preparation

The article describes the steps to be performed on the server before installing the platform.

Network configuration

/etc/hosts file

Make sure that the /etc/hosts file has an entry for the server in the format:

<server IP address> <server hostname>

/etc/resolv.conf file

Make sure that the /etc/resolv.conf file has entries in the format:

nameserver <IP address of the DNS server>

If the IP address of the systemd-resolved local service (127.0.0.53) is specified as the DNS server, check that the DNS server addresses are specified in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf:

DNS=<servers list>

Server with XEN virtualization type

If you use a server with XEN virtualization, create the /etc/docker/daemon.json file with the following contents:

daemon.json file
{
"storage-driver": "vfs",
"live-restore": true
}
A server with this setting cannot be used as a location.
