Docker Home Server

Docker services running in a home server.

It's meant to work out of the box and without configuration, except for some environment variables that will have to be filled after cloning.

1. Clone and set environment variables

In order to specify the settings fill the options in .env.dist and then paste all the values to /etc/environment

Then make sure they are set with the command: printenv

2. Create and launch containers

Containers definition are separated in different docker-compose files to help launch desired services only. Once you launch them for the first time they will keep alive with the system restarting if necessary until you decide to stop them manually.

docker-compose \
    -f services/traefik/docker-compose.yml \
    -f services/mariadb/docker-compose.yml \
    -f services/jackett/docker-compose.yml \
    -f services/ddclient/docker-compose.yml \
    -f services/nextcloud/docker-compose.yml \
    -f services/minecraft/docker-compose.yml \
    -f services/ombi/docker-compose.yml \
    -f services/openvpn-sa/docker-compose.yml \
    -f services/plex/docker-compose.yml \
    -f services/portainer/docker-compose.yml \
    -f services/radarr/docker-compose.yml \
    -f services/sonarr/docker-compose.yml \
    -f services/tautulli/docker-compose.yml \
    -f services/transmission/docker-compose.yml \
    -f services/watchtower/docker-compose.yml \
    -f services/webserver/docker-compose.yml \
    -f services/samba/docker-compose.yml \
    -f services/speedtest/docker-compose.yml \
    up -d

3. Check and manage

Check that all services are up:

docker ps

In case you need to stop or remove a container use docker and the container name:

docker stop minecraft && docker rm minecraft

If you have doubts on the services please search google for what they do.

4. Open each service and configure it.

You should go over each service and check it's up and configure it if necessary. All the configurations are going to be stored inside the "volumes" folder. You can regularly back it up.

5. About SSL certificates

If you need ssl certificates and you have a domain, there is an option to create it with Lets Encrypt. This repo is configured for using OVH as a domain name provider. If you dont use OVH you can change the configuration of traefik in order to use another one:
