Testing docker

[WaaromZoMoeilijk]

Hey mate thanks for this easy docker setup. Had a hard time to get the official one running. Could you help me, i need to verify if the docker build works.

Connected 2 devices and hit sync on 1 and after a minute or so on the other, but nothing sync's.

I have the docker running locally on my server and i want to port forward my router :5000 to :5000 so I can sync on the go. Perhaps with an extra nginx SSL layer on top. How is your SSL been taken care of?

Thanks and kind regards

Ezra

Edit: would it also need to be https://IPADDRESS:5000/token/1.0/sync/1.5 instead of https://IPADDRESS/token/1.0/sync/1.5:5000 since we need to connect to the docker :5000 instead of the webserver running on the host.

Hi,
In my setup, I have a nginx as reverse proxy for the SSL layer. So I'm using this config:

server {
   listen 443 http2;
   server_name sync.example.com;
   # ssl stuff
   location / {
        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_read_timeout 120;
        proxy_connect_timeout 10;

        proxy_pass http://172.17.0.2:5000/
    }
}

Where 172.17.0.2 is the local IP of the container.
By doing that, I'm using the 443 port of my server with a subdomain. If you want to use the 5000 port then change the listen directive.
So in my setup I don't do any port forwarding with docker (no -p 5000:5000).

If you specify an address with https when starting the docker then you need ssl/tls.
You're right regarding the port, I'll add that on the README.md

Yeah right then i get why its not working. Could you share your docker run/create command?
Thanks

The build command:

docker build -t sync .

The run command:

docker run --init -d --name sync -e URL=https://sync.example.com sync
