# 📦 Application Container Deployments This document details the containerized application architecture, storage mounts, and Systemd service mappings deployed across the virtual machine nodes using rootless **Podman**. --- ## 🏗️ Application & Systemd Service Architecture Every application workload runs inside an isolated rootless container. The host's local **Systemd** daemon manages the startup dependencies and lifecycle of the containers: ### 1. Portfolio Web Server (`portfolio.lab.local`) Exposes the portfolio static webpage assets using an Nginx Alpine container containerized by a simple Systemd unit wrapper. ```mermaid graph TD %% My Color Palette classDef vmNode fill:#161d1c,stroke:#70a99f,color:#f8f8f2,stroke-width:1.5px; classDef svcNode fill:#212c2a,stroke:#9580ff,color:#f8f8f2,stroke-width:1px; classDef appNode fill:#2b3b38,stroke:#8aff80,color:#8aff80,stroke-width:1.5px; subgraph VM_Portfolio ["portfolio.lab.local VM"] Svc_Portal["⚙️ portal.service

Fabric Minecraft Server (`minecraft.lab.local`) Runs a Java-based Minecraft game server node with Fabric mod loaders and maps a persistent directory for user/world preservation. ```mermaid graph TD %% My Color Palette classDef vmNode fill:#161d1c,stroke:#70a99f,color:#f8f8f2,stroke-width:1.5px; classDef svcNode fill:#212c2a,stroke:#9580ff,color:#f8f8f2,stroke-width:1px; classDef appNode fill:#2b3b38,stroke:#8aff80,color:#8aff80,stroke-width:1.5px; subgraph VM_Minecraft ["minecraft.lab.local VM"] Svc_Minecraft["⚙️ minecraft.service

Navidrome Music Server (`navidrome.lab.local`) Traces the startup dependencies where Google Drive is FUSE-mounted via `rclone` before the Navidrome audio engine mounts and indexes the path. ```mermaid graph TD %% My Color Palette classDef vmNode fill:#161d1c,stroke:#70a99f,color:#f8f8f2,stroke-width:1.5px; classDef svcNode fill:#212c2a,stroke:#9580ff,color:#f8f8f2,stroke-width:1px; classDef appNode fill:#2b3b38,stroke:#8aff80,color:#8aff80,stroke-width:1.5px; classDef mountNode fill:#212c2a,stroke:#ffca80,color:#ffca80,stroke-width:1px; subgraph VM_Navidrome ["navidrome.lab.local VM"] Svc_Rclone["⚙️ rclone-mount.service

Portfolio Hub (`portfolio.lab.local`) * **Engine**: Launches `docker.io/library/nginx:alpine` using rootless Podman. * **Statis Assets**: Clones and mounts the HTML/CSS website files into `/usr/share/nginx/html` in read-only(`ro`) mode. * **Port Mapping**: Maps container port to 80 to target port 80 of the virtual machine. ### 2. Fabric Minecraft Server (`minecraft.lab.local`) * **Engine**: Launches `docker.io/itzg/minecraft-server:java17`(java-based wrapper). * **Configurations**: * `EULA=TRUE`: Accepts user agreements. * `TYPE=FABRIC`: Deploys Fabric mod loader. * `VERSION=1.20.1`: Deploys game runtime version. * `MEMORY=4G`: Allocates memory bounds(configured dynamically via variables). * `MODRINTH_PROJECTS`: Deploys specific mod files(Fabric API, Architectury API, Geckolib, Kotlin runtime, hamster pets, etc.). * **Persistent Storage**: Mounts `/home/sho/containers/minecraft` to `/data` in read-write mode to preserve world data, player profiles, and server properties. ### 3. Music Streaming Node (`navidrome.lab.local`) * **rclone Google Drive FUSE Mount**: * Installed packages `fuse3` and `rclone`. * Modifies `/etc/fuse.conf` to enable `user_allow_other`(allowing rootless containers to read paths mounted by host users). * Configures `rclone` with Google Drive credentials and spawns a background mount service daemon(`rclone-mount.service`) directing drive data to `/mnt/gdrive` using cache mode `full`(cached locally for 24h). * **Navidrome Engine**: * Launches `docker.io/deluan/navidrome:latest`. * Mounts the FUSE path `/mnt/gdrive` into `/music:ro`. * Systemd configurations map a `Requires=rclone-mount.service` dependency, preventing the Navidrome container from running if the Google Drive FUSE mount fails. --- ## 🚀 Execution & Management Deploy the application containers using the Ansible tags target: ```bash ansible-playbook site.yml --tags "services" --ask-vault-pass ``` ### Container Status Verification Log in to any service virtual machine and query Podman: ```bash # View running container status podman ps # Inspect container startup logs podman logs navidrome ```
