Pre-requisties

• Note all DOMAIN variables are without HTTP(S) prefix!

  • Valid domain: vault.example.com
  • Invalid doman: https://vault.example.com

• DNS A record with a wildcard sub.domain.tld pointing towards the server

• Domain & global storage .env variables are required for the gateway and letsencrypt to work

• A server with at least 2 core CPU and 4GB of RAM

  • Note: Start-up may require more RAM or slow-down with only 2 cores/CPUs
  • Note: Varies depending on load, usage and number of services currently running
  • Note: Once deployed, all current services requires ~2.1GB of RAM

Setup

The Gateway Needs to be deployed first to allow LetsEncrypt to provide SSL.

1. Fill in, and copy over the environment files cp stack.env .env
2. Fill in, and copy over the docker files stack.docker-compose.yml docker-compose.yml
3. Start the gateway: docker-compose up -d

It's highly recommended to deploy Admin next and use this for preceeding stack deployments.

Deployments

There are two ways to deploy the configured stacks;

1. Using Portainers WebGUI & stacks feature
2. Manually by following the same steps as in setup per stack (per compose file)

Adding apps

To add a new app container, the following needs to be included:

• stack.docker-compose.yml with the following properties:
  • Per service, define traefik labels for exposure

    labels:
      - traefik.enable=true
      - traefik.http.routers.{SERVICE_NAME}.tls=true
      - traefik.http.routers.{SERVICE_NAME}.tls.certresolver=letsencrypt
      - traefik.http.routers.{SERVICE_NAME}.entrypoints=https
      - traefik.http.routers.{SERVICE_NAME}.rule=Host(`${DOMAIN}`)
      # Services
      - traefik.http.services.{SERVICE_NAME}.loadbalancer.server.port=80

• stack.env with the follwing properties:
  • This is required for domain and storage configuration

    # Project variables
    COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=stack-{STACK_NAME}
    GLOBAL_STORAGE={PATH_TO_STORAGE}
    DOMAIN={YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME}
    # Service variables
    MY_VAR="1234"
