## Goals
- Getting a Virtual Private Server (VPS)
- Running Shaarli:
- as a Docker container,
- using the Træfik reverse proxy,
- securized with TLS certificates from Let's Encrypt.

## Getting a Virtual Private Server
For this guide, I went for the smallest VPS available from DigitalOcean,
a Droplet with 1 CPU, 1 GiB RAM and 25 GiB SSD storage, which costs
$5/month ($0.007/hour):

- [Droplets Overview](https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/overview/)
- [Pricing](https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/)
- [How to Create a Droplet from the DigitalOcean Control Panel ](https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/how-to/create/)
- [How to Add SSH Keys to Droplets](https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/how-to/add-ssh-keys/)

### Creating a Droplet
Select `Debian 9` as the Droplet distribution:

width="500px"
alt="Droplet distribution" />

Choose a region that is geographically close to you:

<img src="../images/02-create-droplet-region.jpg"
width="500px"
alt="Droplet region" />

Choose a Droplet size that corresponds to your usage and budget:

<img src="../images/03-create-droplet-size.jpg"
width="500px"
alt="Droplet size" />

Finalize the Droplet creation:

<img src="../images/04-finalize.jpg"
width="500px"
alt="Droplet finalization" />

Droplet information is displayed on the Control Panel:

<img src="../images/05-droplet.jpg"
width="500px"
alt="Droplet summary" />

Once your VPS has been created, you will receive an e-mail with connection
instructions.

## Obtaining a domain name
After creating your VPS, it will be reachable using its IP address; some hosting
providers also create a DNS record, e.g. `ns4853142.ip-01-47-127.eu`.

A domain name (DNS record) is required to obtain a certificate and setup HTTPS
(HTTP with TLS encryption).

Domain names can be obtained from registrars through hosting providers such as
[Gandhi](https://www.gandi.net/en/domain).

Once you have your own domain, you need to create a new DNS record that points
to your VPS' IP address:

alt="Domain configuration" />

## Host setup
Now's the time to connect to your freshly created VPS!

```shell
$ ssh root@188.166.85.8

Linux stretch-shaarli-02 4.9.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.88-1+deb9u1 (2018-05-07) x86_64

root@stretch-shaarli-02:~$
```
### Updating the system
```shell
root@stretch-shaarli-02:~$ apt update && apt upgrade -y
```
### Setting up Docker
_The following instructions are from the
[Get Docker CE for Debian](https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/debian/)
guide._
Install package dependencies:
```shell
root@stretch-shaarli-02:~$ apt install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg2 software-properties-common
```
Add Docker's package repository GPG key:
```shell
root@stretch-shaarli-02:~$ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
```
Add Docker's package repository:
```shell
root@stretch-shaarli-02:~$ add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian stretch stable"
```
Update package lists and install Docker:
```shell
root@stretch-shaarli-02:~$ apt update && apt install -y docker-ce
```
Verify Docker is properly configured by running the `hello-world` image:
```shell
root@stretch-shaarli-02:~$ docker run hello-world
```
### Setting up Docker Compose
_The following instructions are from the
[Install Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
guide._
Download the current version from the release page:
```shell
root@stretch-shaarli-02:~$ curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.21.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
root@stretch-shaarli-02:~$ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
```
## Running Shaarli
Shaarli comes with a configuration file for Docker Compose, that will setup:
- a local Docker network
- a Docker [volume](https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/) to store Shaarli data
- a Docker [volume](https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/) to store Træfik TLS configuration and certificates
- a [Shaarli](https://hub.docker.com/r/shaarli/shaarli/) instance
- a [Træfik](https://hub.docker.com/_/traefik/) instance
[Træfik](https://docs.traefik.io/) is a modern HTTP reverse proxy, with native
support for Docker and [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/).
### Compose configuration
Create a new directory to store the configuration:
```shell
root@stretch-shaarli-02:~$ mkdir shaarli && cd shaarli
root@stretch-shaarli-02:~/shaarli$
```
Download the current version of Shaarli's `docker-compose.yml`:
```shell
root@stretch-shaarli-02:~/shaarli$ curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shaarli/Shaarli/master/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml
```
Create the `.env` file and fill in your VPS and domain information (replace
`<MY_SHAARLI_DOMAIN>` and `<MY_CONTACT_EMAIL>` with your actual information):
```shell
root@stretch-shaarli-02:~/shaarli$ vim .env
```
```shell
SHAARLI_VIRTUAL_HOST=<MY_SHAARLI_DOMAIN>
SHAARLI_LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL=<MY_CONTACT_EMAIL>
```
### Pull the Docker images
```shell
root@stretch-shaarli-02:~/shaarli$ docker-compose pull
Pulling shaarli ... done
Pulling traefik ... done
```
### Run!
```shell
root@stretch-shaarli-02:~/shaarli$ docker-compose up -d
Creating network "shaarli_http-proxy" with the default driver
Creating volume "shaarli_traefik-acme" with default driver
Creating volume "shaarli_shaarli-data" with default driver
Creating shaarli_shaarli_1 ... done
Creating shaarli_traefik_1 ... done
```
## Conclusion
Congratulations! Your Shaarli instance should be up and running, and available
at `https://<MY_SHAARLI_DOMAIN>`.
