d0wn - Docker OWN Server

A personnal docker managed server behind a traefik rverse proxy w/SSL | Let's encrypt

SSL enabled & disabled version

This project allow you to deploy several services on a server with docker containers, you just have to pick the one you want and stick them together !

Thanks to SmartHomeBeginner for his well detailed tutorial ! https://www.smarthomebeginner.com/docker-home-media-server-2018-basic

How does it works ?

The goal here is to make home server creation easy, secure & accessible for all.

EASY -> By using docker each service is constitued of one or two container maximum, the deployement of a container is so easy it can be done with one command-line SECURE -> With traefik reverse-proxy and docker, we can use SSL to encrypt every communication with our server from the internet ! ACCESSIBLE -> The goal of this project is to automate this long process of creation with a script, one line to rule them all !

There is a lot more of benefits here but I want to make the long story short.

######################################### My configuration #########################################

CPU : Intel i5 XXX w/ Stock cooler
Motherboard : Mortar Arctic XXX
RAM : 8Gb Corsair Value Select
Powerbrick : XXX

Disks :

/!\ Important /!\

Prerequisites : If you plan to make a SSL enabled server, you need to aleready have a domain name or get one and preferably move your DNS to cloudflare because it's more convenient (API Support, ...) you also need to redirect ports 80, 443 & 8000 from the router to your server. And of course, create a DNS record for your domain name to your router public IP

1- Create a bootable USB Stick for your server with your favorite OS

NOTE : I'M USING UBUNTU SERVER

Find your best 8G USB Stick

Download the latest ISO image of Ubuntu on their official website, you have to choose between two versions.

• Ubuntu Desktop : Ubuntu w/ Graphical interface - Use this one if you plan to use a screen on your server

• Ubuntu Server : Command-line interface ONLY (You can download a graphical environnement afterwards)

Official download page : https://ubuntu.com/#download

Now you have the image, you need a tool to make your USB stick bootable

I personnaly love Balena Etcher : https://www.balena.io/etcher/ (It's open source :)

Open your flashing program, select your USB, select your OS image and flash it !

Now your USB is ready we can install the OS on the server

2- Install Ubuntu & making directory tree

Now you can connect your USB to your fresh server, power it up and spam your boot option button on the keyboard, usually F11, F12, ...

Now you can see the Ubuntu installer menu select the normal install and follow the instructions, it's pretty straightforward ;)

After the installation of Ubuntu you need to create the global organisation of your folders and services, you can create your folder tree following this plan :

~/Docker_______
    |         |
Services    Storage_________ Data______________________________________
    |           |                           |                 |        \
SERVICENAME  Medias_____________        Nextcloud           Other      ...
    |           |       |       |
CONFIG.FILES  Movies   Shows  Music

 ############################################################################################
/!\       You can skip step 3 & 4 by executing the **Auto-folder-build.bash** script that I made, it will build the basic repository structure and ask for your environnement variables       /!\    
 ###########################################################################################

3- Update your packages and Install Docker

Let's update the list of the available packets

  sudo apt update
  sudo apt upgrade

Snap should be installed by default

Now let's install docker

  sudo snap install docker
  sudo apt-get install docker-compose

If snap is not installed

  sudo apt update
  sudo apt install snapd

Good you now have a fresh up-to-date Ubuntu server with a docker daemon running !

Try docker to check if he was installed correctly by running the hello-world image docker run hello-world

4- Define your environnement

What's gonna make you server YOUR server is your environnement : YOUR own IP, YOUR passwords, ...

All of these informations are stored on your server in your environnement file, that's what gonna make the deployement easy because you only need to enter these informations once after that, a generic name is given to these environnement variables

EXAMPLE : If I put the following line in my environnement file "mypassword123=PASSWORD", my password is called everytime I type $PASSWORD

Now we need to edit your environnement file !

Edit the /etc/environnement file and complete it with your informations (You don't need to do that if you used my script)

PUID=                    | The result of the "id" command
PGID=                    | The result of the "id" command
TZ=                      | Timezone, you can check your in the IANA TZ Database or following this link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tz_database
WORKDIR=                 | The directory where your config files should be (~/Docker/Services/ In this case)
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=     | SQL root password
CLOUDFLARE_EMAIL=        | your cloudlare email
CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY=      | your cloudflare API Key
DOMAINNAME=              | your domain name (If you have one)
HTTP_USERNAME=           | your generic usernanme
HTTP_PASSWORD=           | your generic password

5- Select the services you want to run !

The docker-compose file with every services included can be downloaded on the GitHub project repository

List of the official supported services :

######### FRONTENDS ##########
   #Portainer - A WebUI for Containers
   #Organizer - Unified HTPC/Home Server Web Interface
   #Nextcloud - Your own cloud storage
   #Phpmyadmin - A WebUI for your MariaDB database
   #Plex - WebUI to stream media
   #Tautulli (aka PlexPy) – Monitoring Plex Usage

######### BACKENDS ##########
   #Traefik - A reverse-proxy/load balancer for your services
   #Watchtower - Automatic Updater for your Containers/Apps
   #MariaDB – Database Server for your Apps

6- Global docker-compose rules

This file may scare you a first but it fact it's really easy ! It just automate de deployement of containers and explain the way docker have deploy them.

So, to select wich services you want, you just have to delete the one you don't want between two "#----------------------" statement.

READ THE COMMENTS IN THE DOCKER-COMPOSE !

TROUBLESHOOTING - Nextcloud reverse-proxy troubleshooting

If you go to the global overview in your Nextcloud settings you may encounter the following message :

" Il y a quelques avertissements concernant votre configuration.

PROBLEME REVERSE PROXY

La configuration du serveur web ne permet pas d'atteindre "/.well-known/caldav". Vous trouverez plus d'informations dans la documentation.
La configuration du serveur web ne permet pas d'atteindre "/.well-known/carddav". Vous trouverez plus d'informations dans la documentation. "

That's because your Nextcloud instance is located behind a reverse-proxy (traefik), you can get more information about this warning in the Nextcloud documentation : https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/16/go.php?to=admin-setup-well-known-URL

To get over this warning you need to add your traefik ip instance in the list of trusted revers-proxys.

In order to do that you can edit your Nextcloud configuration file in your Nextcloud instance : /config/config.php

And add the following lines at the end of the configuration file :

'trusted_proxies' =>
 array (
   0 => 'YOUR.DOMAINNAME',
   1 => 'YOURSERVERPRIVATEIP',
   2 => 'localhost',
  ),

You can now restart your Nextcloud instance, the problem should be solved.
