Description

This is the updated docker-compose repo of all the media, home, and web server apps described in the following guides on our website:

• Docker Media Server with Traefik 2 Reverse Proxy
• WordPress on Docker with Nginx, Traefik, LE SSL, Security, and Speed
• Synology Docker Media Server with Traefik, Docker Compose, and Cloudflare

IMPORTANT

If you are going to start from scratch using this repo, be prepared to be patient and start slow. There are so many details to pay attention to. I strongly suggest getting Traefik and Traefik dashboard up and running before adding any other app. Here is the order I would recommend:

1. Traefik with HTTP Authentication. This requires:
• .env file
• secrets
• network definition
• middlewares and chains
2. Socket Proxy
3. Check to ensure Traefik still works
4. OAuth or Authelia (optional)
5. Check to ensure OAuth works
6. Put Traefik dashboard behind OAuth or Authelia and disable HTTP Authentication
7. Ensure Traefik dashboard works behind OAuth/Authelia
8. Proceed to add portainer and other apps/services

Go step-by-step. If you bite too big of a piece, I guarantee you will choke.

Obsolete Posts (for educational purposes):

Docker, Docker Compose, and Traefik Versions (updated January 23, 2022)

• Docker: 20.10.12
• Docker Compose: 2.1.1
• Traefik: 2.6

Known Issue: Cloudflare Companion does not seem to work with Docker Compose v2.2 and above. I could not figure out why. If someone figures it out please share. So at this point v2.1.1 is the highest version I can go for Docker Compose.

Update (September 13, 2021): I moved from TOML to YAML for Traefik 2 dynamic configurations. I have included example configuration files for both. However, since I do not use TOML anymore, there may be minor syntax errors or typos.

Description of Compose Files in this Repo

• docker-compose-t2.yml - this stack has the most apps/services
• docker-compose-t2-web.yml - web server specific stack for WordPress and non-WordPress sites with Nginx
• docker-compose-t2-synology.yml - apps/services that I run on Synology NAS using Docker Compose for Homelab use
• docker-compose-t2-obsolete.yml - apps/services that I once tried/used but don't use anymore (future compatibility not guaranteed)

Almost any app/service from the Traefik v2 docker-compose files listed above can be copy-pasted to any other compose file in this repo.

MY SETUP

• MAIN - Ubuntu 20.04 Virtual Machine on Intel Xeon 5420 Proxmox Host
• WEB - Ubuntu 20.04 LXC Container on Intel Xeon 5420 Proxmox Host

I use Syncthing to keep certain key files synched between various systems.

What apps are included in this stack?

Usage

--------- ANYTHING THAT HAS "example" IN THE NAME WILL HAVE TO BE RENAMED APPROPRIATELY ---------

Installation

First, install Docker and Docker Compose, as described in our Docker Media Server guide.

1. Clone the repo.
2. Configure Traefik Docker-Compose snippet and CLI arguments.

• Edit domain name.
• DNS Challenge (for LetsEncrypt verification) is enabled by default for cloudflare. Use the Traefik Reverse Proxy guide for help with this.
• For other providers other than cloudflare, check here.

3. (Optional) Enable or use HTTP Basic Authentication by renaming the secrets_example folder to secrets adding username and hashed password to the htpasswd file.
4. Configure environmental variables (.env file)

• Rename the included .env.example to .env.
• Edit variables in .env file.
• All variables (ie. ${XXX}) in docker-compose.yml come from .env file stored in the same place as docker-compose.yml.
• Ensure good permissions for the .env file (recommended: 640).

5. Edit docker-compose-t2.yml to include only the services you want or add additional services to it. Be sure to read the comments for each app and create any required files. You can copy snippets between any of the various docker-compose files in the repo.
6. Start and stop your docker stack as described in our Docker Media Server guide.
7. (Optional) Put non-docker apps behind Traefik proxy by creating traefik rules based on the examples provided.

Starting and Stopping

I use bash_aliases to simplify starting and stopping containers/stack. Included in the repo is an example of bash_aliases I use (replace USER with your Linux username). Here are some example alias commands:

• dcup2 - Start Docker Traefik 2 stack
• dcdown2 - Stop Docker Traefik 2 stack
• dcrec2 - Start or recreate a specific service
• dcstop2 - Stop a specific service
• dcrestart2 - Restart a specific service
• dclogs2 - See real-time logs for the corresponding stack or service
• dcpull2 - Pull new images for the corresponding stack or service
