Description

This is the updated docker-compose repo of all the media, home, and web server apps described in the following guides on our website:

• Docker Media Server Ubuntu: Compose for 23 Awesome Apps

Support My Work

Documenting, writing guides, and keeping this repo update-to-date takes hundreds of hours of work. Please consider supporting my work to show your appreciation.

Did this Repo help you?

• Do you need support or just want to chat with like-minded people. Join our discord.
• The authors will try our best to help but support is not guaranteed. But you will find others who might have went through what you are going through and may be willing to pay it forward and help.

IMPORTANT

If you are going to start from scratch using this repo, be prepared to be patient and start slow. There are so many details to pay attention to. First start with the basic Docker Media Server guide linked above (with Nginx Proxy Manager instead of Traefik).

When you are ready to upgrade to Traefik or prefer Traefik over Nginx Proxy Manager, I strongly suggest getting Traefik and Traefik dashboard up and running before adding any other app.

Go step-by-step. If you bite too big of a piece, I guarantee you will choke.

For security, I implemented CrowdSec multi-server setup in 2022. From the stats, it is blocking/mitigating well over 600 intrusion attempts per day on my servers. I will cover this in a separate guide later but you will find the docker-compose CrowdSec, Traefik Bouncer, and Cloudflare Bouncer Bouncers in my repo already.

Description of Compose Files in this Repo

• docker-compose-t2.yml - this is my main stack with most apps/services (home aserver), including Traefik
• docker-compose-npm.yml - this is the basic media server stack with Nginx Proxy Manager instead of Traefik
• docker-compose-t2-web.yml - web server specific stack for WordPress and non-WordPress sites with Nginx and Traefik
• docker-compose-t2-synology.yml - apps/services that I run on Synology NAS using Docker Compose for Homelab use

Please note that docker-compose files in the archives folder is not actively maintained. They may need updates/rework.

Almost any app/service from the docker-compose files listed above can be copy-pasted to any other compose file in this repo.

MY SETUP

• Home Server (docker-compose-t2.yml) - Ubuntu 22.04 Proxmox LXC Container on AMD Ryzen 7 4800u ASROCK 4x4 Box
• Media Server (docker-compose-t2-media-db.yml) - Ubuntu 22.04 Proxmox LXC Container on AMD Ryzen 7 4800u ASROCK 4x4 Box
• Web Server (docker-compose-t2-web.yml) - Digital Ocean VPS (2 cores and 2 GB RAM)
• Synology (docker-compose-t2-synology.yml) - Synology DS918+ NAS.

I use Syncthing to keep certain key files synched between various systems.

What apps are included in this stack?

The apps I use are scattered around in several different docker-compose files. Click the links below for specific installation guides.

Some apps are used in more than one host and some on only one.

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:

• dcup2 - Start Docker Traefik 2 stack
• dcdown2 - Stop Docker Traefik 2 stack
• dcrec2 - Start or recreate a specific service
• dcstop2 - Stop a specific service
• dcrestart2 - Restart a specific service
• dclogs2 - See real-time logs for the corresponding stack or service
• dcpull2 - Pull new images for the corresponding stack or service
