Docker-Stacks

These are docker-compose files configured to be used behind the included traefik docker-compose.yml setup.

These are the docker-compose files I personally use. I have tried to make a setup that requires very little fiddling. Please file an issue if something doesn't work. Also feel free to contribute to the list if you are so inclined.

Setup

NOTE: This setup assumes using Cloudflare as a DNS provider and are using origin certs created from the SSL/TLS section of their site.

SSL Certs

Put your certs & keys in a safe place. The default is in the traefik/certs folder.

Make sure the proper permissions of 600 are set for the certs:

sudo chmod 600 <my.crt>

Update the entries in the config/certs-traefik.yml to the proper file path and name of your certs.

NOTE: Don't remove the double quotes from the entries.

Create Network

Create a network named proxy. This is how the containers will network with the Traefik container.

docker network create proxy

Start the Traefik container

start the traefik container by entering the traefik folder and executing:

docker-compose up -d

Running a container

I have tried to make the configuration as automatic as I know how. Most of the cofiguration should be done in the .env files.

NOTE: You do not have to restart the Traefik container. Traefik uses labels from these containers to dynamically configure itself.

Setup the `.env`

Copy the example.env file and name it .env.
Read through the .env and make changes where appropriate.

Some not so obvious ones maybe be:

PROJECT_NAME <-- PROBABLY DONT CHANGE THIS—Traefik will use this to as an identifier
DOMAIN_NAME <-- VERY IMPORTANT—Traefik will use this to know which container to route.

Start the container stack

Start the containers by executing this in the directory where the docker-compose.yml lives:

docker-compose up -d

That should be all there is to it! PLEASE raise an issue if something doesn't work.
