## How to use
|
|
You need to install docker-compose. Also Caddy if you need a reverse proxy.
|
|
Generally with these, you'll make a folder for the service you wanna host, make a file called compose.yml, copy the contents in, modify accordingly, and `docker compose up -d` these up.
|
|
For a reverse proxy, you need a domain. If you can't buy any domain for any reason, eu.org and [freedns](https://freedns.afraid.org/) are awesome projects that can host stuff for you and give you a domain for free that you can reverse-proxy safely to.
|
|
## Things to keep in mind
|
|
The first four-five-digit number in ports is the port for your machine, the second after the `:` is the port for the container. Don't change the second number unless there's a configuration setting that allows you to modify like so.
|
|
Use a server in your home [properly configured](https://caddy.community/t/using-caddy-as-a-reverse-proxy-in-a-home-network/9427), or a VPS. I personally recommend Webdock for a VPS.
|
|
You don't need to do any steps to install dependencies for these services other than docker-compose, docker containers do that for you inside the container.
|
|
## Basic reverse proxy
|
|
This will work fine for most things assuming the URL is configured in `environment:` section/config if needed.
|
|
Install caddy with the following command after `apt-get update` and `apt-get upgrade`:
|
|
```
|
|
apt-get install caddy
|
|
```
|
|
Once installed, make a folder and make a file named Caddyfile. Write this in it with nano, and replace accordingly. The number can be replaced with the machine port (again, first number under ports section).
|
|
Make sure the domain has a DNS record with the server IP.
|
|
```
|
|
example.com {
|
|
reverse_proxy localhost:7825
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
Then type `caddy reload`.
|
|
Wait a bit, and your service should come up. |
