Setting up your portal image on Debian 9

Start with creating a server with Debian 9 (codename stretch)
When you have your server running, update your repository data and install apt-transport-https, git, software-properties-common, gnupg2 and curl:
```
apt update && apt install apt-transport-https git software-properties-common gnupg2 curl -y
```
Add the docker repo and install docker-ce. (instructions)
Add the yarn repo and install yarn. (instructions)
Install nvm. (instructions)
Install the latest version of Node:
```
nvm install --lts
```
Create a limited user for setting up the Docker container and add it to the docker user group:
```
adduser --gecos '' --disabled-password cryb && \
usermod -aG docker cryb
```
Switch to the cryb user:
```
su - cryb
```

Continue by cloning the @crybapp/portal repo:

git clone https://github.com/crybapp/portal.git

Copy .env.example over to .env and set it up so the VM can communicate with your API and aperture servers
Run yarn and yarn docker:build in the portal folder
Once the build succeeds, create a start.sh shell script in your home directory and insert the following code inside it:
```
SHM_SIZE="1gb"
cd /home/cryb/portal && docker run --rm -i --net=host --shm-size="$SHM_SIZE" cryb/portal
```
Make the shell script executable:
```
chmod +x ~/start.sh
```
Create a crontab entry using crontab -e and insert the following:
```
@reboot /home/cryb/start.sh
```
Power off your snapshot and take a snapshot/image.
