1. SSH to server
2. Install Docker and Docker Compose:

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce
sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.22.0/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

3. Install Node:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

4. Install Prisma CLI npm -g install prisma
5. Create docker-compose.yml with the following content:

version: '3'
services:
  prisma:
    image: prismagraphql/prisma:1.12
    restart: always
    ports:
    - "4466:4466"
    environment:
      PRISMA_CONFIG: |
        port: 4466
        managementApiSecret: my-secret
        databases:
          default:
            connector: mysql
            host: mysql
            port: 3306
            user: root
            password: prisma
            migrations: true
  mysql:
    image: mysql:5.7
    restart: always
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: prisma
    volumes:
      - mysql:/var/lib/mysql
volumes:
  mysql:

6. Make sure you create a managementApiSecret which you will put in your .env file.

7. Run docker-compose up -d which will fetch the Docker images for Prisma and MySQL

8. Verify containers with docker ps

9. Bootstrap a new Prisma service with prisma init hello-world

10. Select Use other server and it'll prompt for your Prisma Server endpoint, enter the public IP of your Linode with the Prisma port e.g. http://<linode_public_ip>:4466, hit enter and provide a service name e.g. hello then a stage e.g. dev

11. cd hello-world open your .env file or create one if it doesn't exist and make sure it has the variable PRISMA_MANAGEMENT_API_SECRET with the same API secret from docker-compose.yml

12. prisma deploy and wait for it to finish and open the following webpage:

http://<linode_public_io>:4466/hello/dev
