Default CentOS 7 host

IUS packages overview: ​https://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/CentOS/7/x86_64/repoview/

1. Disable this

wpa_supplicant: we do not need wireless networking tools.

lvm2 and lvm2-libs: requires daemons, sometimes buggy ones such as dmeventd. Do not install without reason. At some data centers, e.g. MPCDF, LVM is mandatory.

tuned: undesirable?

NetworkManager: only desirable for GUI interaction, overwrites resolv.conf.

2. Run provisioning script

## Set hostname to hostname shown in hoster's control panel
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname 'clarineric-vps4'

## Install default packages
sudo yum update &&
## Add the official Docker yum repository to get access to the latest Docker versions
sudo tee '/etc/yum.repos.d/docker.repo' <<'EOF'
[dockerrepo]
name=Docker Repository
baseurl=https://yum.dockerproject.org/repo/main/centos/$releasever/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://yum.dockerproject.org/gpg
EOF
## Add the Fedora Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) yum repository
## http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/install-epel-and-additional-repositories-on-centos-and-red-hat
sudo yum makecache fast

sudo yum install 'epel-release' 'git' 'docker-engine' 'unzip' 'mailx' 'tmux' 'tree' 'htop' 'rsync' 'collectd' &&
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.8.1/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose &&
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose &&
ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose

###Td-agent (fluentd)
#curl -L https://toolbelt.treasuredata.com/sh/install-redhat-td-agent2.sh | sh
#/opt/td-agent/embedded/bin/gem install fluent-plugin-multi-format-parser
#mkdir /var/log/fluent
#chown -R td-agent /var/log/fluent/
##download td-agent conf
#service td-agent start

## Create sysop users
sudo useradd 'andmor' &&
sudo usermod -aG 'wheel' 'andmor'
sudo useradd 'dietuyt' &&
sudo usermod -aG 'wheel' 'dietuyt'
sudo useradd 'wilelb' &&
sudo usermod -aG 'wheel' 'wilelb'

# TODO: why not let them set their own password, and only upload their SSH public key?
## Set passwords for the users: passwd <user>

## Disable unneeded/interfering services.
sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager.service wpa_supplicant.service
sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager.service wpa_supplicant.service

sudo -e '/etc/ssh/sshd_config' &&
## Configure sshd in '/etc/ssh/sshd_config'
### No root login
# PermitRootLogin no
### No username/password login
# PasswordAuthentication no

# Configure postfix
sed -i -e 's/^inet_protocols = all$/inet_protocols = ipv4/g'\
    -e "/^#myhostname = virtual.domain.tld$/a myhostname = `hostname -A | awk '{print $1;}'`"\
    -e 's/^#myorigin = \$myhostname$/myorigin = $myhostname/g' /etc/postfix/main.cf

#forward mail from root to sysops@clarin.eu

printf '%s\n' "root: sysops@clarin.eu" | sudo tee -a /etc/aliases &&
sudo newaliases &&
sudo service postfix restart

## Test the configuration
printf '%s\n' 'test' | mail -s "test message from $(hostname)" root

## Enable services
systemctl enable docker

## Start docker service
service docker start

3. Docker storage configuration

4. Install collectd

5. Setting multiple IPv4 addresses

In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:

# Generated by dracut initrd
NAME="eth0"
HWADDR="52:54:00:b1:a5:b9"
ONBOOT=yes
NETBOOT=yes

1. SELinux

Check status:

sestatus

Check policy of a file:

ls -Z /etc/collectd.conf

Check policy of a process:

ps -Z docker

Set user, role and type on a file:

sudo chcon -v --user=system_u --role=object_r --type=etc_t /etc/collectd.conf

Restore policy on a file:

restorecon -v /etc/collectd.conf
