create a docker compose application, then select raw

version: '3.7'

services:
  nginx:
    image: nginx:latest
    ports:
      - "8081:80"
    volumes:
      - ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro
    networks:
      - dokploy-network
  whoami:
    image: traefik/whoami
    ports:
      - "80"
    networks:
      - dokploy-network

networks:
  dokploy-network:
    external: true

version: '3.7'

services:
  nginx:
    image: nginx:latest
    ports:
      - "8081:80"
    volumes:
      - ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro
    networks:
      - dokploy-network
  whoami:
    image: traefik/whoami
    ports:
      - "80"
    networks:
      - dokploy-network

networks:
  dokploy-network:
    external: true

go to advanced -> volumes -> create new content:

events {}

http {
    server {
        listen 80;
        server_name localhost;

        location / {
            proxy_pass http://whoami:80;
            proxy_set_header Host $host;
            proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        }
    }
}

events {}

http {
    server {
        listen 80;
        server_name localhost;

        location / {
            proxy_pass http://whoami:80;
            proxy_set_header Host $host;
            proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        }
    }
}

mount path: ./nginx.conf then go to the browser and do: server-ip:8081 and you will see this

Thank you so much @Siumauricio ! It seems to work, although when browsing in the browser to this Docker compose service it says “404 page not found”

Siumauricio•12mo ago

what do you mean? how you are accessing to the nginx?

wvanheemstraOP•12mo ago

It looks like the issue lies with Environment variables not being picked up. For example through the Dokploy user interface I have set an environment variable “ APP_PORT=8081”, whereas the log of my deployment states “… msg=“The ”APP_PORT” variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.” I am on Dokploy version 0.2.4

Siumauricio•12mo ago

hmm are you using the env variable inside the compose file?

wvanheemstraOP•12mo ago

Yes, like so: labels: - “traefik.http.services.${HASH}.loadbalancer.server.port=${APP_PORT}”

Siumauricio•12mo ago

got it, and the hash are you using what is the value?

wvanheemstraOP•12mo ago

For the hash I use a ‘unique’ name, in this case HASH=app

Siumauricio•12mo ago

could you try to use like this?

 traefik.http.routers.${HASH}.rule=Host(`${APP_PORT}`)

 traefik.http.routers.${HASH}.rule=Host(`${APP_PORT}`)

this is a example from pocketbase template

version: "3.7"
services:
  pocketbase:
    image: spectado/pocketbase:0.22.12
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - ${POCKETBASE_PORT}
    networks:
      - dokploy-network
    labels:
      - traefik.enable=true
      - traefik.http.routers.${HASH}.rule=Host(`${POCKETBASE_HOST}`)
      - traefik.http.services.${HASH}.loadbalancer.server.port=${POCKETBASE_PORT}
    volumes:
      - /etc/dokploy/templates/${HASH}/data:/pb_data
      - /etc/dokploy/templates/${HASH}/public:/pb_public
      - /etc/dokploy/templates/${HASH}/migrations:/pb_migrations

networks:
  dokploy-network:
    external: true

version: "3.7"
services:
  pocketbase:
    image: spectado/pocketbase:0.22.12
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - ${POCKETBASE_PORT}
    networks:
      - dokploy-network
    labels:
      - traefik.enable=true
      - traefik.http.routers.${HASH}.rule=Host(`${POCKETBASE_HOST}`)
      - traefik.http.services.${HASH}.loadbalancer.server.port=${POCKETBASE_PORT}
    volumes:
      - /etc/dokploy/templates/${HASH}/data:/pb_data
      - /etc/dokploy/templates/${HASH}/public:/pb_public
      - /etc/dokploy/templates/${HASH}/migrations:/pb_migrations

networks:
  dokploy-network:
    external: true

enviroment variables: POCKETBASE_HOST=testing-pocketbase-fabbe4-179-49-119-201.traefik.me POCKETBASE_PORT=80 HASH=testing-pocketbase-5cbe9a

wvanheemstraOP•12mo ago

Host(‘${APP_HOST}’) with backticks

Siumauricio•12mo ago

yeah

wvanheemstraOP•12mo ago

Can it pick up the Environment variables set through the web user interface of Dokploy?

Siumauricio•12mo ago

What do you mean? dokploy will automatically inject the environment variables into your docker compose file. so you don't have to do anything

wvanheemstraOP•12mo ago

Where do you store these environment variables? In Dokploy environments tab, or in a .env file in a GitHub repository?

Siumauricio•12mo ago

dokploy enviroments tab

Siumauricio•12mo ago

take a look about pocketbase template

wvanheemstraOP•12mo ago

OK, then I don’t understand why the log says it is not set?

Siumauricio•12mo ago

try to reload traefik

wvanheemstraOP•12mo ago

Please tell me how to reload traefik, thank you!

Siumauricio•12mo ago

Settings -> scroll down traefik -> reload

wvanheemstraOP•12mo ago

Thanks, it says error to reload traefik

Siumauricio•12mo ago

Check logs

wvanheemstraOP•11mo ago

I don’t see errors in logs Would a clean help? Thank you @Siumauricio your answer is fantastic and detailed! All works well, but when I try to check from a browser with server IP and port 8081 I get a warning “This site can’t be reached” instead of what you posted here. What is your advice, please.

Siumauricio•11mo ago

@wvanheemstra can you please show the docker compose file?

wvanheemstraOP•11mo ago

services: nginx: image: nginx:latest ports: - "${APP_PORT}:80" volumes: - ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro networks: - dokploy-network labels: - "traefik.enable=true" - "traefik.http.routers.${HASH}.rule=Host(${APP_HOST})" - "traefik.http.routers.${HASH}.entrypoints=websecure" - "traefik.http.routers.${HASH}.tls.certResolver=letsencrypt" - "traefik.http.services.${HASH}.loadbalancer.server.port=${APP_PORT}" whoami: image: traefik/whoami ports: - "80" networks: - dokploy-network networks: dokploy-network: external: true
