Prerequisites

  • A fresh Webdock cloud Ubuntu Focal instance.

Note: If you intend to use Runcloud's containerized deployment, spin up a KVM server instead as Docker Swarm (used by Runcloud) doesn't work on legacy LXD servers.

Create new shell user. While creating the shell user, on the right side, enable "Passwordless Sudo" and apply the settings.

Connecting your Webdock Instance to Runcloud

On Runcloud, add a new server by copying the Webdock server IP address. Choose Nginx or OpenLiteSpeed, as per your requirement.

Add the server. Choose "manual installation".

WebSSH into the Webdock server .

Now switch to root user by executing:

$ sudo su -

Copy the install script (the second one) provided by Runcloud and execute it on Webdock server.

Wait for about 15 minutes for the installation to complete.

Upon completion of the installation, you will be provided MySQL credentials in the terminal. Copy them to a safe place.
