# Introduction Caddy v2 is the easiest reverse proxy ever! You'll be able to host multiple dockerized applications with one VM and one domain name! I learned from [DoTheEvo](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker/tree/master/caddy_v2), but their guide assumes you already installed docker and docker-compose. From my [A-Z guide](https://github.com/StarWhiz/docker_deployment_notes/tree/master/initial%20ubuntu%20setup)... you be handheld from the beginning. In addition to the app specific guides on DoTheEvo's page I also added some of my own! Anyways please start with the [A-Z Guide](https://github.com/StarWhiz/docker_deployment_notes/tree/master/initial%20ubuntu%20setup) guide below which will take you from base Ubuntu 20.04 to having docker, docker-compose, caddy v2 installed. ## A to Z Guide (Start Here) https://github.com/StarWhiz/docker_deployment_notes/tree/master/initial%20ubuntu%20setup After you finish the A-Z guide. You can then follow application specific guides from me below. Or from [DoTheEvo](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) for other apps. ## Application Specific Deployment Guides #### DoTheEvo's App Specific Guides * [caddy_v2](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - reverse proxy * [vaultwarden](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - password manager * [bookstack](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - notes and documentation * [kopia](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - backup utility replacing borg * [borg_backup](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - backup utility * [ddclient](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - automatic DNS update * [dnsmasq](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - DNS and DHCP server * [gotify / ntfy / signal](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - instant notifications apps * [frigate](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - managing security cameras * [jellyfin](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - video and music streaming * [minecraft](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - game server * [meshcrentral](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - web based remote desktop, like teamviewer or anydesk * [rustdesk](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - remote desktop, like teamviewer or anydesk * [nextcloud](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - file share & sync * [opnsense](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - a firewall, enterprise level * [qbittorrent](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - torrent client * [portainer](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - docker management * [prometheus_grafana_loki](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - monitoring * [unifi](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - management utility for ubiquiti devices * [snipeit](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - IT inventory management * [trueNAS scale](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - network file sharing * [uptime kuma](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - uptime alerting tool * [squid](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - anonymize forward proxy * [wireguard](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - the one and only VPN to ever consider * [wg-easy](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - wireguard in docker with web gui * [zammad](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) - ticketing system * [arch_linux_host_install](https://github.com/DoTheEvo/selfhosted-apps-docker) #### StarWhiz's App Specific Guides & References Disclaimer: My guides aren't as high quality as DoTheEvo's guides. Also most of them are based on docker v1. If you're on docker v2 just replace `docker-compose` command with `docker compose`! If DoTheEvo has a guide for the same application follow theirs over mine!

Use bash first, if that doens't work try sh. ## Commonly used Docker Specific Commands ``` docker container ls # list all running containers docker container ls -a # list all containers even stopped ones docker container rm # remove container docker container kill # kill a running container docker system prune # Remove all unused docker: containers, images, networks and volumes to free up space docker container prune # Similar to system prune but only targets containers. docker logs CONTAINERNAME # Shows logs for the container docker logs --follow CONTAINERNAME # Shows log for the container in the foreground ### While inside app specific folder docker-compose restart # restart docker stack for application docker-compose down # turn off application docker-compose up # turn on application with logs. CTRL+C to exit docker-compose up -d # turn on application without logs and runs in background docker-compose pull # update application ``` ## Commonly added lines added to app specific docker-compose.yml files ``` services: exampleapp: ### Commonly Added To Applications container_name: app-name # A container name for Caddyfile to reference to # with reverse-proxy app-name:80 for example restart: unless-stopped # When your VM restarts the docker-container will start automatically ports: - "8080:80" # Usually reverse-proxy will do. Sometimes there are cases where you need ports open. # Here we open port 8080 on the host machine. It maps to port 80 inside the docker container. volumes: - ./folder:/some/pathinsidecontainer/folder # Changes made in ./folder will appear inside the path mentioned ### The Caddy Network networks: default: external: name: caddy_net ### Example .env variables in docker-compose.yml ${VARIABLE_A} ### Example variable in .env VARIABLE_A=My_SQL_PASSWORD ``` ## Common UFW commands ``` sudo ufw status numbered #numbered list of all ufw rules sudo delete 3 #delete rule #3 from ufw rules sudo ufw enable sudo ufw disable sudo ufw allow 21/tcp # Open TCP port 21 sudo ufw allow 21/udp # Open UDP port 21 sudo ufw allow 21 # Open UDP & TCP for port 21. ``` ## Caddy v2 References To prevent automatic HTTPS on Caddy 2, append http:// to your CaddyFile Entries. Example Below. ``` http://subdomain.yourdomain.com { reverse_proxy wordpress:80 } ``` You can reverse proxy to IP Address + Port instead of by container name. ``` subdomain.yourdomain.com { reverse_proxy 192.168.16.5:8080 } ``` ## Other Linux Commands Check size of current directory ``` sudo du -sh ./ ``` Check total disk usage ``` sudo df -h ./ ``` ## Random Rsync Notes For Container Migration Remember to docker-compose down everything inside local machine so nothing shows up on docker container ls. ``` # Generate keys. Choose defaults. Public key saves to ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub # Why do we do this? Because we set PermitRootLogin prohibit-password earlier. # So we can only login root on the remote server via rsa key. # As root user on local server generate Keys... ssh-keygen -t rsa cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub # Install Rsync. Local and remote server. 2 installs total. sudo apt update sudo apt install rsync # Login to remote server sudo su # to be the root user mkdir ~/.ssh # if it didn't exist already cd .ssh nano authorized_keys # Append/Paste lines from id_rsa.pub generated from local server. # Then save an exit. # Back to your local server... The command rsync -aP -e "ssh -i /home//.ssh/id_rsa" # Copy whole folder from source to destination example rsync -aP -e "ssh -i /home/sammy/.ssh/id_rsa" ~/docker/someapp root@:/home/sammy/ # Copy contents of folder from source to destination example # There is a / in front of ./docker in this case. rsync -aP -e "ssh -i /home/sammy/.ssh/id_rsa" ~/docker/someapp/ root@:/home/sammy/ # Rsync Flags -a # The -a option is a combination flag. It stands for “archive” and syncs recursively and preserves symbolic links, special and device files, modification times, group, owner, and permissions -e # specify ssh command... -v # verbose -P # progress + partial combined -h # output numbers in human readable format ```
