Chapter 3. Preparing your system to deploy Red Hat Quay

Procedure

1. Enter the following command to obtain your static IP address for your host system:

   $ ip a

   Example output

   ---
       link/ether 6c:6a:77:eb:09:f1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
       inet 192.168.1.132/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute wlp82s0
   ---

2. Add the IP address and a local hostname, for example, quay-server.example.com to your /etc/hosts file that will be used to reach the Red Hat Quay endpoint. You can confirm that the IP address and hostname have been added to the /etc/hosts file by entering the following command:

   $ cat /etc/hosts

   Example output

   192.168.1.138 quay-server.example.com

Procedure

1. In the installation folder, denoted here by the $QUAY variable, create a directory for the database data by entering the following command:

   $ mkdir -p $QUAY/postgres-quay

2. Set the appropriate permissions by entering the following command:

   $ setfacl -m u:26:-wx $QUAY/postgres-quay

3. Start the Postgres container, specifying the username, password, and database name and port, with the volume definition for database data:

   $ sudo podman run -d --rm --name postgresql-quay \
     -e POSTGRESQL_USER=quayuser \
     -e POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD=quaypass \
     -e POSTGRESQL_DATABASE=quay \
     -e POSTGRESQL_ADMIN_PASSWORD=adminpass \
     -p 5432:5432 \
     -v $QUAY/postgres-quay:/var/lib/pgsql/data:Z \
     registry.redhat.io/rhel8/postgresql-13

4. Ensure that the Postgres pg_trgm module is installed by running the following command:

   $ sudo podman exec -it postgresql-quay /bin/bash -c 'echo "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS pg_trgm" | psql -d quay -U postgres'

   Note

   The pg_trgm module is required for the Quay container.
