Docker server environment scripts and configurations

This repository is meant to get a configuration set for installing a fresh server for Docker hosting. It’s specialized for my personal usage, but if it fits your needs, feel free to use it and give your feedback.

Base path

All scripts and configurations files are written in order to perform in ~/docker-server-env folder. Please, adapt them if you want to clone this git repository elsewhere.

Base installation

Skip this part if your hosting provider has already provisioned your server with latest docker and docker compose services.

#
# Base apps
#
sudo apt update;
sudo apt install sudo curl nano git zsh;

#
# Install oh-my-zsh
#
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

#
# If you don’t have any password (public key only)
# Change your shell manually…
#
sudo chsh -s /bin/zsh

#
# Clone this repository in root’s home
#
git clone https://github.com/ambroisemaupate/docker-server-env.git ~/docker-server-env;

#
# Execute base installation
# It will install more lib, secure postfix and pull base docker images
#
cd ~/docker-server-env
#
# Pass DISTRIB env to install [ubuntu/debian] and EMAIL for Postfix aliases
# sudo DISTRIB="debian" EMAIL="[email protected]" bash ./install.sh if not root
sudo DISTRIB="debian" EMAIL="[email protected]" bash ./install.sh

If you are not root user, do not forget to add your user to docker group.

sudo usermod -aG docker myuser
sudo chown -R myuser:myuser ~/docker-server-env

Installation script install.sh will install:

  • ntp
  • ntpdate
  • nano
  • gnupg
  • htop
  • curl
  • zsh
  • fail2ban
  • postfix
  • mailutils
  • apt-transport-https
  • ca-certificates
  • software-properties-common
  • clamav
  • clamav-daemon

Enable IPv6 networking

If you registered IPv6 and AAAA DNS records for your services, you must enable Docker ipv6 networking and make sure Traefik is running on a IPv6 enabled network.

Make sure to generate a unique local IPv6 range and edit etc/docker/daemon.json before running install.sh script. Check your network configuration with compose/whoami service which prints your client information.

You can verify if IPv6 is enabled by testing if traefik is listening on both interfaces, make sure frontproxynet is also configured with --ipv6 option to allow traefik listening on tcp and tcp6:

netstat -tnlp

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:443             0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      2377/docker-proxy   
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:80              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      2398/docker-proxy   
tcp6       0      0 :::443                  :::*                    LISTEN      2383/docker-proxy   
tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN      2404/docker-proxy

hub.docker.com mirroring

Since November 2020, hub.docker.com introduced rate limit on API, if you often pull images you'll need to setup a Registry mirror. Install and launch compose/registry-mirror service with your own hub.docker.com credentials in .env.

Only use Registry mirror on private network machines or do not forget to restrict your host access to port 6000.

Copy etc/docker/daemon_with_registry.json to your server /etc/docker/daemon.json and restart docker, this will setup an insecure Registry mirror on localhost:6000.

Use registry mirror inside your Gitlab Runners on same host

Once your Registry mirror is running on localhost:6000 you may want to use it inside your Gitlab Runners.

# /etc/gitlab-runner/config/config.toml
[runners.docker]
    volumes = ["/opt/docker/daemon.json:/etc/docker/daemon.json:ro"]

Then configure /opt/docker/daemon.json to use your host' local network IP

{
  "registry-mirrors": ["http://192.168.1.xx:6000"],
  "insecure-registries" : ["192.168.1.xx:6000"]
}

That way, all gitlab runners will pull Docker image through your host mirror and save precious bandwidth and rate limit.

Some of the docker images I use in this environment

  • traefik: as the main front proxy. It handles Let’s Encrypt certificates too.
  • solr (I limit heap size to 256m because we don’t usually use big document data, and it can be painful on a small VPS server)
  • ambroisemaupate/ftp-backup: smart FTP/SFTP backup image
  • ambroisemaupate/s3-backup: smart S3 Object Storage backup image (no need to clean-up, configure lifecycle on your S3 provider)
  • ambroisemaupate/ftp-cleanup: smart FTP/SFTP backup clean-up image than delete files older than your defined limit. It won’t delete older backup files if they are the only ones available.
  • ambroisemaupate/light-ssh, For SSH access directly inside your container with some useful command as mysqldump, git and composer.
  • mysql: for latest php80-alpine-nginx images and all official docker images
  • gitlab-ce: If you want to setup your own Gitlab instance with a dedicated registry, all running on docker
  • plausible/analytics: Awesome open-source and privacy-friendly analytics tool. Based on https://github.com/plausible/hosting.

Using docker compose

This server environment is optimized to work with docker compose for declaring your services.

You’ll find examples to launch front-proxy and Roadiz based containers with docker compose in compose/ folder. Just copy the sample example-se/ folder naming it with your website reference.

cp -a ./compose/example-se ./compose/mywebsite.tld

Then, use docker compose up -d --force-recreate to create in background all your websites containers.

We need to use the same network with docker compose to be able to discover your containers from other global containers, such as the front-proxy and your daily backups. See https://docs.docker.com/compose/networking/#configure-the-default-network for further details. Here is the additional lines to append to your custom docker compose applications:

networks:
  frontproxynet:
    external: true

Then add the frontproxynet to your backends container that you want to expose to your front-proxy (traefik or nginx-proxy)

services:
  app:
    image: nginx:latest
    networks:
      - default
      - frontproxynet
  db:
    image: mariadb:latest
    networks:
      - default

Using Traefik v2.x as main front-end

https://docs.traefik.io/providers/docker/

If install.sh script did not setup traefik conf automatically, do:

cp ./compose/traefik/traefik.sample.toml ./compose/traefik/traefik.toml;
cp ./compose/traefik/.env.dist ./compose/traefik/.env;
touch ./compose/traefik/acme.json;
chmod 0600 ./compose/traefik/acme.json;

Then you can start traefik service with docker compose

cd ./compose/traefik;
docker compose pull && docker compose up -d --force-recreate;

Traefik dashboard will be available on a dedicated domain name: edit ./compose/traefik/.env file to choose a monitoring host and password. We strongly encourage you to change default user and password using htpasswd -n.

Warning: IP whitelisting won’t work correctly if you enabled AAAA (ipv6) record for your domains. Traefik won’t see X-Real-IP. For the moment, if you need to get correct IP address, just use ipv4.

Back-up containers

Using docker compose services

Added backup and backup_cleanup services to your compose.yml file:

services:
  #
  # AFTER your app main services (web, db, solr…)
  #
  backup:
    image: ambroisemaupate/ftp-backup
    networks:
      # Container should be on same network as database
      - default
    depends_on:
      # List here your database service
      - db
    environment:
      LOCAL_PATH: /var/www/html
      DB_USER: example
      DB_HOST: db
      DB_PASS: password
      DB_NAME: example
      FTP_PROTO: ftp
      FTP_PORT: 21
      FTP_HOST: ftp.server
      FTP_USER: example
      FTP_PASS: example
      REMOTE_PATH: /home/example/backups/site
    volumes:
      # Populate your local path with your app service volumes
      # this will backup ONLY your critical data, not your app
      # code and vendor.
      - private_files:/var/www/html/files:ro
      - public_files:/var/www/html/web/files:ro
      - gen_src:/var/www/html/app/gen-src:ro

  backup_cleanup:
    image: ambroisemaupate/ftp-cleanup
    networks:
      - default
    environment:
      # Make sure to use the same credentials
      # as backup service
      FTP_PROTO: ftp
      FTP_PORT: 21
      FTP_HOST: ftp.server
      FTP_USER: example
      FTP_PASS: example
      STORE_DAYS: 5
      # this path MUST exists on remote server
      FTP_PATH: /home/example/backups/site

Test if your credentials are valid: docker compose run --rm --no-deps backup && docker compose run --rm --no-deps backup_cleanup. This should launch the 2 services cleaning up older backups and creating new ones. One for your files stored in /var/www/html (check that you are using your main service volumes here), and a second one for your database dump.

ℹ️ You can use a .env file in your project path to avoid typing FTP and DB credential twice.

Then add docker compose lines to your host crontab -e (do not forget to specify your compose.yml path):

MAILTO=""
# crontab

# You must change directory in order to access .env file
# Clean and backup "site_a" files and database at midnight
0  0 * * * cd /root/docker-server-env/compose/site_a && /usr/bin/docker compose run --rm --no-deps backup
0  1 * * * cd /root/docker-server-env/compose/site_a && /usr/bin/docker compose run --rm --no-deps backup_cleanup
# Clean and backup "site_b" files and database 15 minutes later
15 0 * * * cd /root/docker-server-env/compose/site_b && /usr/bin/docker compose run --rm --no-deps backup
15 1 * * * cd /root/docker-server-env/compose/site_b && /usr/bin/docker compose run --rm --no-deps backup_cleanup

backup_cleanup service uses a FTP/SFTP script that will check files older than $STORE_DAYS and delete them after. It will do nothing if there are only one of each files and database backup available. This is useful to prevent deletion of non-running services by keeping at least one backup. backup_cleanup does not use sshftpfs volume to perform file listing so you can use it with every FTP/SFTP account.

Clean-up FTP backups

Using docker compose services

Backup clean-up is already handled by your docker compose services (see above).

Rolling backups

You can add as many backup services as you want to create rolling backups: daily, weekly, monthly:

# …
  # DAILY
  backup_daily:
    image: ambroisemaupate/ftp-backup
    depends_on:
      - db
    environment:
      LOCAL_PATH: /var/www/html
      DB_USER: test
      DB_HOST: db
      DB_PASS: test
      DB_NAME: test
      FTP_PROTO: ftp
      FTP_PORT: 21
      FTP_HOST: ftp.server.test
      FTP_USER: test
      FTP_PASS: test
      REMOTE_PATH: /home/test/backups/daily
    volumes:
      - public_files:/var/www/html/web/files:ro

  backup_cleanup_daily:
    image: ambroisemaupate/ftp-cleanup
    environment:
      FTP_PROTO: ftp
      FTP_PORT: 21
      FTP_HOST: ftp.server.test
      FTP_USER: test
      FTP_PASS: test
      STORE_DAYS: 7
      FTP_PATH: /home/test/backups/daily
  
  # WEEKLY
  backup_weekly:
    image: ambroisemaupate/ftp-backup
    depends_on:
      - db
    environment:
      LOCAL_PATH: /var/www/html
      DB_USER: test
      DB_HOST: db
      DB_PASS: test
      DB_NAME: test
      FTP_PROTO: ftp
      FTP_PORT: 21
      FTP_HOST: ftp.server.test
      FTP_USER: test
      FTP_PASS: test
      REMOTE_PATH: /home/test/backups/weekly
    volumes:
      - public_files:/var/www/html/web/files:ro

  backup_cleanup_weekly:
    image: ambroisemaupate/ftp-cleanup
    environment:
      FTP_PROTO: ftp
      FTP_PORT: 21
      FTP_HOST: ftp.server.test
      FTP_USER: test
      FTP_PASS: test
      STORE_DAYS: 30
      FTP_PATH: /home/test/backups/weekly
  
  # MONTHLY
  backup_monthly:
    image: ambroisemaupate/ftp-backup
    depends_on:
      - db
    environment:
      LOCAL_PATH: /var/www/html
      DB_USER: test
      DB_HOST: db
      DB_PASS: test
      DB_NAME: test
      FTP_PROTO: ftp
      FTP_PORT: 21
      FTP_HOST: ftp.server.test
      FTP_USER: test
      FTP_PASS: test
      REMOTE_PATH: /home/test/backups/monthly
    volumes:
      - public_files:/var/www/html/web/files:ro

  backup_cleanup_monthly:
    image: ambroisemaupate/ftp-cleanup
    environment:
      FTP_PROTO: ftp
      FTP_PORT: 21
      FTP_HOST: ftp.server.test
      FTP_USER: test
      FTP_PASS: test
      STORE_DAYS: 366
      FTP_PATH: /home/test/backups/monthly

then launch them once a day, once a week, once a month from your crontab:

# Rolling backups (do not use same hour of night to save CPU)
# Daily
00 2 * * * cd /root/docker-server-env/compose/site_a && /usr/bin/docker compose run --rm --no-deps backup_daily
30 2 * * * cd /root/docker-server-env/compose/site_a && /usr/bin/docker compose run --rm --no-deps backup_cleanup_daily
# Weekly (on Monday early morning)
00 3 * * 1 cd /root/docker-server-env/compose/site_a && /usr/bin/docker compose run --rm --no-deps backup_weekly
30 3 * * 1 cd /root/docker-server-env/compose/site_a && /usr/bin/docker compose run --rm --no-deps backup_cleanup_weekly
# Monthly (on each 1st day)
00 4 1 * * cd /root/docker-server-env/compose/site_a && /usr/bin/docker compose run --rm --no-deps backup_monthly
30 4 1 * * cd /root/docker-server-env/compose/site_a && /usr/bin/docker compose run --rm --no-deps backup_cleanup_monthly

Using custom Docker images for Roadiz

Example files can be found in ./compose/example-roadiz-registry/ and ./scripts/bck-example-roadiz-registry.sh.sample if you are building custom Roadiz images with direct volumes for your websites and private registry such as Gitlab one.

Copy .env.dist to .env to store your secrets at one place.

Update and restart your Roadiz image

After you update your website image:

docker compose pull app;
# use --no-deps to avoid recreating db and solr service too.
docker compose up -d --force-recreate --no-deps app;
# if you created a Makefile in your docker image
docker compose exec -u www-data app make cache;

Rotating logs

Add the etc/logrotate.d/docker-server-env configuration to your real logrotate.d system folder.

Make sure to adapt /etc/logrotate.d/docker-server-env file with your traefik folder location and user.

Ban IPs

Fail2Ban is configured with a special jail traefik-auth to block FORWARD rules for IP that trigger too much 401 errors in ./compose/traefik/access.log file. If you need to manually ban an IP you must use this chain because it will prevent FORWARD rules to docker.

Make sure to edit /etc/fail2ban/jail.d/traefik.conf with the right logpath to Traefik access.log file.

fail2ban-client set traefik-auth banip <IP>

Error pages service

You can add custom error pages to your traefik services by adding labels to your compose.yml file.

All html files are stored in compose/traefik/service-error/html folder, and served by Nginx in traefik-service-error service. Behind the scene, it is an Nginx docker container running with a custom compose/traefik/service-error/default.conf configuration: all requests except for /css, /img are redirected to /404.html or /503.html files.

You can use a custom folder by changing volume path in compose.yml file:

volumes:
  - ./service-error/html:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro
  - ./service-error/default.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:ro
labels:
    # Custom error pages
    - "traefik.http.middlewares.${APP_NAMESPACE}_errors.errors.status=500-599"
    - "traefik.http.middlewares.${APP_NAMESPACE}_errors.errors.service=traefik-service-error-traefik"
    - "traefik.http.middlewares.${APP_NAMESPACE}_errors.errors.query=/{status}.html"

Catch-all error page

Traefik is configured to serve a catch-all error page for all other errors and non-existing services. It will serve compose/traefik/service-error/503.html file.

You can change the catch-all behaviour in compose/traefik/compose.yml file by editing traefik-service-error service labels.

labels:
    - "traefik.enable=true"
    # Serve catch-all error pages on HTTP
    - "traefik.http.routers.traefik-service-error-traefik.priority=1"
    - "traefik.http.routers.traefik-service-error-traefik.rule=HostRegexp(`{host:.+}`)"
    - "traefik.http.routers.traefik-service-error-traefik.entrypoints=http"
    # Serve catch-all error pages on HTTPS
    - "traefik.http.routers.traefik-service-error-traefik-secure.priority=1"
    - "traefik.http.routers.traefik-service-error-traefik-secure.rule=HostRegexp(`{host:.+}`)"
    - "traefik.http.routers.traefik-service-error-traefik-secure.entrypoints=https"
    - "traefik.http.routers.traefik-service-error-traefik-secure.tls=true"
    - "traefik.http.routers.traefik-service-error-traefik-secure.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt"

Adapt kernel parameters

If you are hosting multiple database servers on the same server using Docker, you may want to increase the number of fs.aio-max-nr to avoid EAGAIN errors.

# Check current value
sudo cat /proc/sys/fs/aio-max-nr

# Set new value (not persistent)
sudo sysctl -w fs.aio-max-nr=200000

If you want this value to be persisted, you can add it in /etc/sysctl.conf or any /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf file.
