Minimum File Structure

/home/
└── ~/
    └── docker/
        └── meshcentral/
            ├── config.json.template
            ├── docker-compose.yml
	    ├── Dockerfile
	    ├── startup.sh

You will need the files in this GitHubs folder (Dockerfile, startup.sh, and config.json.template) to build the meshcentral image and deploy it.

Add to Caddyfile (from ~/docker/caddy)

Remember to docker exec -w /etc/caddy caddy caddy reload after editing your Caddyfile.

meshcentral.YOURDOMAIN.com {
        reverse_proxy meshcentral:4430 {
                header_up Host {http.reverse_proxy.upstream.hostport}
                header_up X-Real-IP {http.request.remote}
                header_up X-Forwarded-For {http.request.remote}
        }
}

docker-compose.yml

Replace YOURDOMAIN.com with your actual domain.

version: '3'
services:
    meshcentral:
        restart: unless-stopped
        container_name: meshcentral
        build: .
#        ports:
#            - 4430:4430  #I Used 4430 because caddy v2 doesn't play well with a container using port 443. Can change 4430 to something else in the environment var CONTAINER_PORT below 
        environment:
            - HOSTNAME=meshcentral.YOURDOMAIN.com
            - CONTAINER_PORT=4430
            - REVERSE_PROXY=YOURDOMAIN.com

        volumes:
            - ./data:/opt/meshcentral/meshcentral-data    #config.json and other important files live here. A must for data persistence
            - ./user_files:/opt/meshcentral/meshcentral-files    #where file uploads for users live

networks:
    default:
        external:
            name: caddy_net

After everything is set up do docker-compose up -d in this folder to start meshcentral!
