Self Hosted Applications

My collection of docker-compose files used to setup my self-hosted services.

Setup

Everything runs through Docker, and is configured with docker-compose files. To setup everything, you will need to do a few things before you start all of the dockers.

Domain and Certificates

For the reverse proxy to work properly with the domain ak2316.sh, you need to generate some certificates. These instructions are written for MacOS, but shouldn't be too hard to adapt to other settings.

# Create a local CA
brew install mkcert
mkcert -install

# Generate a trusted local certificate
cd ./caddy/certs
mkcert "*.ak2316.sh"
mkcert "ak2316.sh"
cd ../..

You will need to edit the /etc/host file, adding

127.0.0.1 ak2316.sh firefly.ak2316.sh paperless.ak2316.sh

this will need to be modified if more services are added.

Lastly you'll need to create the docker network:

docker network create selfhosted

Running

You can boot up all of the services with

./scripts/up.sh

and you can tear it down with

./scripts/down.sh

Application Setup

Paperless-ng

You will need to create a superuser.

# Create a superuser
cd paperless-ng
docker compose run --rm webserver createsuperuser
