Obsolete Posts:

The following posts have been combined and updated for Traefik v2 (linked above):

• Docker Media Server with Traefik 1 Reverse Proxy

A Note on Traefik 1 vs Traefik 2?

Update (April 19, 2020): I have switched from Traefik v1 to Traefik v2, which is now my default. Therefore, the setup for Traefik v1 will only receive minor updates (if any). If you are new, follow instructions for Traefik v2.

Traefik 2 (CURRENT - GENERIC LINUX)

• docker-compose-t2.yml
• docker-compose-t2-vpn.yml
• docker-compose-t2-obsolete.yml (Apps that I do not use anymore)
• docker-compose-t2-web.yml (Docker stack on Virtual Private Server that Runs Wordpress and Other Websites)

Traefik 2 (CURRENT - SYNOLOGY)

• docker-compose-t2-synology.yml (Apps that I run on Synology NAS using Docker Compose)
• Almost any app from the Traefik v2 docker-compose files listed above can be copy-pasted to the Synology Docker-Compose. I run a few on Synology and the rest on my Intel NUC Linux home server.

Traefik 1 (NOT ACTIVELY MAINTAINED)

• docker-compose-t1.yml
• docker-compose-t1-vpn.yml
• docker-compose-t1-obsolete.yml (Apps that I do not use anymore)

Traefik 1 - Docker Swarm Mode (NOT ACTIVELY MAINTAINED)

• docker-compose-t1-swarm.yml

Usage

Installation

First, install Docker and Docker Compose, as described in our Docker Media Server guide.

1. Clone the repo.
2. Configure Traefik Docker-Compose snippet and CLI arguments.

• Edit domain name.
• DNS Challenge (for LetsEncrypt verification) is enabled by default for cloudflare. Use the Traefik Reverse Proxy guide for help with this.
• For other providers other than cloudflare, check here.

3. (Optional) Enable or use HTTP Basic Authentication by renaming shared\.htpasswd.example to shared\.htpasswd in the folder and adding username and hashed password to it.
4. Configure environmental variables (.env file)

• Rename the included .env.example to .env.
• Edit variables in .env file.
• All variables (ie. ${XXX}) in docker-compose.yml come from .env file stored in the same place as docker-compose.yml.
• Ensure good permissions for the .env file (recommended: 640).

5. Edit docker-compose-t2.yml to include only the services you want or add additional services to it. Be sure to read the comments for each app and create any required files. You can copy snippets between any of the various docker-compose files in the repo.
6. Start and stop your docker stack as described in our Docker Media Server guide.
7. (Optional) Put non-docker apps behind Traefik proxy by creating traefik rules based on the examples provided.

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:

• dc1up or dc2up - Create network and start Docker Traefik 1 or 2 stack
• dc1down or dc2down - Stop Docker Traefik 1 or 2 stack
• dcup1 or dcup2 - Start Docker Traefik 1 or 2 stack
• dcup1v or dcup2v - Start Docker Trafik 1 or 2 VPN stack
• dcdown1 or dcdown2 - Stop Docker Traefik 1 or 2 stack
• dcdown1v or dcdown2v - Stop Docker Traefik 1 or 2 VPN stack
• dcrec1 or dcrec2 - Start or recreate a specific service
• dcstop1 or dcstop2 - Stop a specific service
• dcrestart1 or dcrestart2 - Restart a specific service
• dclogs1 or dclogs1v or dclogs2 or dclogs2v - See real-time logs for the corresponding stack or service
• dcpull1 or dcpull1v or dcpull2 or dcpull2v - Pull new images for the corresponding stack or service
