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 Ubuntu: Compose for 23 Awesome Apps
• Ultimate Traefik Docker Compose Guide [2022] with LetsEncrypt
• 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. First start with the basic Docker Media Server guide linked above (with Nginx Proxy Manager instead of Traefik).

When you are ready to upgrade to Traefik or prefer Traefik over Nginx Proxy Manager, 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.

Docker, Docker Compose, and Traefik Versions (updated September, 2022)

• Docker: 20.10.18
• Docker Compose: v2.10.2
• Traefik: 2.8

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.yml - this is the basic media server stack with Nginx Proxy Manager instead of Traefik
• docker-compose-t2.yml - this is my main stack with most apps/services, including Traefik
• docker-compose-t2-web.yml - web server specific stack for WordPress and non-WordPress sites with Nginx and Traefik
• 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 docker-compose files listed above can be copy-pasted to any other compose file in this repo.

Compose Files Archive (NOT ACTIVELY MAINTAINED)

• archives/docker-compose-t1.yml
• archives/docker-compose-t1-vpn.yml
• archives/docker-compose-t1-obsolete.yml
• archives/docker-compose-t1-swarm.yml

MY SETUP

• MAIN - Ubuntu 22.04 Proxmox LXC Container on Intel Xeon E3-1240 V2.
• WEB - Ubuntu 22.04 Proxmox VM on Intel Xeon E3-1240 V2.
• SYNOLOGY - Synology DS918+ NAS.

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

Security

For security, I implemented CrowdSec multi-server setup recently. From the stats, it is blocking/mitigating well over 600 intrusion attempts per day on my servers. I will cover this in a separate guide later but you will find the docker-compose CrowdSec, Traefik Bouncer, and Cloudflare Bouncer Bouncers in my repo already.

What apps are included in this stack?

The apps I use are scattered around in several different docker-compose files. Some apps are used in more than one host and some on only one.

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
