docker-stop-sites

To stop russion desinformation on servers using simple docker run

Docker install for Ubuntu

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg

echo \
  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
  $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER # for running docker without sudo
sudo reboot

Usage

docker run --restart=always --detach --name=desinform_stop --pull=always kuzmichm/desinform-stop

where:

--restart=always - run after reboot

--detach - run in separate process

--name=desinform_stop - assign a name to the container

--pull=always - pull image before running

By default config source site is https://stop-russian-desinformation.near.page/, but in case you want to use another site, set it as ENV variable.

docker run --restart=always --detach --name=desinform_stop --pull=always -e SITE='https://cocky-hugle-0729da.netlify.app/' kuzmichm/desinform-stop

Crontab setup(required)

Set up cron to restart container every 3rd hour to ensure that it is always running. This command will add new line to crontab.

(crontab -l && echo "0 */3 * * *  docker restart desinform_stop") | crontab -
# in case of error run this command twice
(crontab -l && echo "0 */3 * * *  docker restart desinform_stop") | crontab -
# verify crontab
crontab -l
