Setup Site Manager Pi

A guide to setup the first Raspberry Pi used when Building a Site.

• 1 Raspberry Pi 5 (or 4)

Prepare a Raspberry Pi using Generic Pi Setup.

Mount the SD card in you computer, and edit the text file named user-data.

Ensure that the packages section looks like the following:

packages:
- avahi-daemon
- docker.io

This adds the docker package (the default version from ubuntu).

Ensure that the hostname is in the following format: mbt-X-manager where X is replaced with a name used for this Site. For example, a site called makerspace would have the hostname mbt-makerspace-manager.

While logged in to the manager, run:

sudo docker swarm init

While logged in to the manager, run:

sudo docker run -it --rm \
  --name swarmpit-installer \
  --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
swarmpit/install:1.9
