Pre-Installation for Debian and Ubuntu (Podman)

Before installing Megaladata, ensure your system is properly configured. Follow these pre-installation steps (tested on Debian 11.5 and Ubuntu 22.04):

1. Install the necessary packages.

   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y podman
   
   sudo apt-get install -y pip && sudo pip3 install podman-compose
   

2. Allow Podman to use ports, starting from 80, in unprivileged mode.

   grep -q "net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=80" "/etc/sysctl.conf" || echo "net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=80" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
   
   sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=80
   

3. Allow the user session to remain active after logging out.

   sudo loginctl enable-linger
