How to setup Wekan using docker-compose in just 3 minutes

First, create a directory for the Wekan files to reside in, e.g.:

mkdir /opt/wekan

Change to that directory:

cd /opt/wekan

Now, we need to create the data directory which needs to be owned by UID 999: in order for Wekan to store uploads:

mkdir -p wekan_data && chown -R 999:999 wekan_data

Now, create docker-compose.yml in that directory

version: '3.4'

services:
  wekandb:
    restart: always
    image: mongo:5
    command: mongod --logpath /dev/null --oplogSize 128 --quiet
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "mongo", "--quiet", "--eval", "'quit(db.runCommand({ ping: 1 }).ok ? 0 : 2)'"]
      interval: 15s
      timeout: 10s
      retries: 3
      start_period: 10s
    volumes:
      - ./wekan-db:/data/db
      - ./wekan-db-dump:/dump
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro


  wekan:
    image: quay.io/wekan/wekan
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 7972:8080
    environment:
      - MONGO_URL=mongodb://wekandb:27017/wekan
      - ROOT_URL=${URL}
      - MAIL_URL=${EMAIL_URL}
      - MAIL_FROM=${EMAIL_FROM}
      - WITH_API=true
      - WRITABLE_PATH=/data
    volumes:
      - ./wekan_data:/data
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    depends_on:
      - wekandb

After that, create .env in said directory containing some info about your node:

URL=https://wekan.mydomain.com
EMAIL_URL=smtp://noreply%40mydomain.com:[email protected]:25/
EMAIL_FROM='My Wekan <[email protected]>'

Now we’ll use the script from Create a systemd service for your docker-compose project in 10 seconds in order to create a systemd service to automatically run the service:

curl -fsSL https://techoverflow.net/scripts/create-docker-compose-service.sh | sudo bash /dev/stdin

This script will also automatically start the service (i.e. docker-compose up).

Now you can setup your reverse proxy to point your domain – e.g. wekan.techoverflow.net to port 7972 (or change that port in docker-compose.yml). Which reverse proxy you use doesn’t matter all too much, I use both nginx and traefik. I will cover the configuration for these reverse proxies in future posts.

Once you can access Wekan, you can register as a new user. The first user will be an admin and can also disable registration using the Web UI.

How to fix wekan Path “/data/attachments” is not writable!

Problem:

While starting your dockerized wekan setup, you see an error message like this:

wekan_1    |   },
wekan_1    |   errorType: 'Meteor.Error'
wekan_1    | }

Solution:

You have mounted a local directory as wekan data directory, for example like this in docker-compose.yml:

wekan:
  image: quay.io/wekan/wekan
  /* ... */
  environment:
    /*...*/
    - WRITABLE_PATH=/data
  volumes:
    - ./wekan_data:/data

But this directory does not have the correct permissions set. You can fix it using this command on the directory (wekan_data in this example):

sudo chown -R 999:999 wekan_data

After that, restart wekan and the issue should be fixed.

How to fix docker MariaDB correct definition of table mysql.column_stats: expected column ‘hist_type’ at position 9…

Problem:

In the log of your MySQL docker server, you see logs like

mariadb_1    | 2022-06-07 20:24:00 283 [ERROR] Incorrect definition of table mysql.column_stats: expected column 'hist_type' at position 9 to have type enum('SINGLE_PREC_HB','DOUBLE_PREC_HB','JSON_HB'), found type enum('SINGLE_PREC_HB','DOUBLE_PREC_HB').
mariadb_1    | 2022-06-07 20:24:00 283 [ERROR] Incorrect definition of table mysql.column_stats: expected column 'histogram' at position 10 to have type longblob, found type varbinary(255).

Solution:

This happens after doing a version upgrade of the MySQL version.

In order to fix it, run the upgrade by running mysql_upgrade in the contaienr

docker-compose exec mariadb mysql_upgrade -uroot -pchopahl0aib4eiphuk5bao3shiVoow

where chopahl0aib4eiphuk5bao3shiVoow is your MySQL root password.

If you have your password in .env as we recommend, you can use this command:

source .env && docker-compose exec mariadb mysql_upgrade -uroot -p${MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD}

How to fix WordPress docker image upload size 2M limit

Problem:

You are running your WordPress instance using the official WordPress Apache image.

However, the WordPress Media page has a maximum upload size of 2 Megabytes.

Solution:

This setting is configured in the php.ini used by the WordPress docker image internally. While it is possible to use a custom php.ini, it’s much easier to edit .htaccess . Just edit .htaccess in the wordpress directory where wp-config.php is located and append this after # END WordPress to set the upload limit to 256 Megabytes:

php_value upload_max_filesize 256M
php_value post_max_size 256M
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value max_input_time 300

The change should be effective immediately after reloading the page. Note that you still might need to configure your reverse proxy (if any) to allow larger uploads. My recommendation is to just try it out as is and if large uploads fail, it’s likely that your reverse proxy is at fault.

Full .htaccess example:

# BEGIN WordPress
# Die Anweisungen (Zeilen) zwischen „BEGIN WordPress“ und „END WordPress“ sind
# dynamisch generiert und sollten nur über WordPress-Filter geändert werden.
# Alle Änderungen an den Anweisungen zwischen diesen Markierungen werden überschrieben.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^en/wp-login.php /wp-login.php [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^de/wp-login.php /wp-login.php [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

php_value upload_max_filesize 256M
php_value post_max_size 256M
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value max_input_time 300

How to create systemd service timer that runs Nextcloud cron.php in 10 seconds

This post shows you a really quick method to create a systemd timer that runs cron.php on dockerized nextcloud (using docker-compose). We created a script that automatically creates a systemd timer and related service to run cron.php hourly using the command from our previous post How to run Nextcloud cron in a docker-compose based setup:

In order to run our autoinstall script, run:

wget -qO- https://techoverflow.net/scripts/install-nextcloud-cron.sh | sudo bash /dev/stdin

from the directory where docker-compose.yml is located. Note that the script will use the directory name as a name for the service and timer that is created. For example, running the script in /var/lib/nextcloud-mydomain will cause nextcloud-mydomain-cron to be used a service name.

Example output from the script:

Creating systemd service... /etc/systemd/system/nextcloud-mydomain-cron.service
Creating systemd timer... /etc/systemd/system/nextcloud-mydomain-cron.timer
Enabling & starting nextcloud-mydomain-cron.timer
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/timers.target.wants/nextcloud-mydomain-cron.timer → /etc/systemd/system/nextcloud-mydomain-cron.timer.

The script will create /etc/systemd/systemd/nextcloud-mydomain-cron.service containing the specification on what exactly to run:

[Unit]
Description=nextcloud-mydomain-cron

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker-compose exec -T -u www-data nextcloud php cron.php
WorkingDirectory=/var/opt/nextcloud-mydomain

and /etc/systemd/systemd/nextcloud-mydomain-cron.timer containing the logic when the .service is started:

[Unit]
Description=nextcloud-mydomain-cron

[Timer]
OnCalendar=hourly
Persistent=true

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

and will automatically start and enable the timer. This means: no further steps are needed after running this script!

In order to show the current status of the service, use e.g.

sudo systemctl status nextcloud-mydomain-cron.timer

Example output:

● nextcloud-mydomain-cron.timer - nextcloud-mydomain-cron
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/nextcloud-mydomain-cron.timer; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
     Active: active (waiting) since Fri 2022-04-01 00:33:48 UTC; 6min ago
    Trigger: Fri 2022-04-01 01:00:00 UTC; 19min left
   Triggers: ● nextcloud-mydomain-cron.service

Apr 01 00:33:48 CoreOS systemd[1]: Started nextcloud-mydomain-cron.

In the

Trigger: Fri 2020-12-11 00:00:00 CET; 20h left

line you can see when the service will be run next. By default, the script generates tasks that run OnCalendar=daily, which means the service will be run on 00:00:00 every day. Checkout the systemd.time manpage for further information on the syntax you can use to specify other timeframes.

In order to run the backup immediately (it will still run daily after doing this), do

sudo systemctl start nextcloud-mydomain-cron.service

(note that you need to run systemctl start on the .service! Running systemctl start on the .timer will only enable the timer and not run the service immediately).

In order to view the logs, use

sudo journalctl -xfu nextcloud-mydomain-cron.service

(just like above, you need to run journalctl -xfu on the .service, not on the .timer).

In order to disable automatic backups, use e.g.

sudo systemctl disable nextcloud-mydomain-cron.timer

A working Traefik & docker-compose minio setup with console

Note: I have not updated this config to use the xl or xl-single storage backends, hence the version is locked at RELEASE.2022-10-24T18-35-07Z

The following config works by using two domains: minio.mydomain.com and console.minio.mydomain.com.

For the basic Traefik setup this is based on, see Simple Traefik docker-compose setup with Lets Encrypt Cloudflare DNS-01 & TLS-ALPN-01 & HTTP-01 challenges. Regarding this setup, the important part is to enabled the docker autodiscovery and defining the certificate resolve (we’re using the ALPN resolver).

Be sure to choose a random MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD!

version: '3.5'
services:
   minio:
       image: quay.io/minio/minio:RELEASE.2022-10-24T18-35-07Z

How to fix Traefik Could not define the service name for the router: too many services

Problem:

Traefik does not load some of your services and you see an error message like the following one:

traefik_1  | time="2022-03-27T15:22:05Z" level=error msg="Could not define the service name for the router: too many services" routerName=myapp providerName=docker

with a docker label config with multiple routers like this:

labels:
    - "traefik.enable=true"
    - "traefik.http.routers.myapp-console.rule=Host(`console.myapp.mydomain.com`)"
    - "traefik.http.routers.myapp-console.entrypoints=websecure"
    - "traefik.http.routers.myapp-console.tls.certresolver=alpn"
    - "traefik.http.services.myapp-console.loadbalancer.server.port=9001"
    #
    - "traefik.http.routers.myapp.rule=Host(`myapp.mydomain.com`)"
    - "traefik.http.routers.myapp.entrypoints=websecure"
    - "traefik.http.routers.myapp.tls.certresolver=cloudflare-techoverflow"
    - "traefik.http.routers.myapp.tls.domains[0].main=mydomain.com"
    - "traefik.http.routers.myapp.tls.domains[0].sans=*.mydomain.com"
    - "traefik.http.services.myapp.loadbalancer.server.port=9000"

Solution:

The basic issue here is that you have multiple routers defined for a single docker container and Traefik does not know which http.services belongs to which http.routers!

In order to fix this, explicitly tell traefik for each router what service it should use like this:

- "traefik.http.routers.myapp-console.service=myapp-console"

Full example:

labels:
    - "traefik.enable=true"
    - "traefik.http.routers.myapp-console.rule=Host(`console.myapp.mydomain.com`)"
    - "traefik.http.routers.myapp-console.entrypoints=websecure"
    - "traefik.http.routers.myapp-console.tls.certresolver=alpn"
    - "traefik.http.routers.myapp-console.service=myapp-console"
    - "traefik.http.services.myapp-console.loadbalancer.server.port=9001"
    #
    - "traefik.http.routers.myapp.rule=Host(`myapp.mydomain.com`)"
    - "traefik.http.routers.myapp.entrypoints=websecure"
    - "traefik.http.routers.myapp.tls.certresolver=cloudflare-techoverflow"
    - "traefik.http.routers.myapp.tls.domains[0].main=mydomain.com"
    - "traefik.http.routers.myapp.tls.domains[0].sans=*.mydomain.com"
    - "traefik.http.routers.myapp.service=myapp"
    - "traefik.http.services.myapp.loadbalancer.server.port=9000"

Solution:

This error seems to occur if you had a docker registry configured in previous gitlab versions (a legacy docker repository) but doesn’t disappear even after deconfiguring the registry.

In order to fix it, I logged into the container using

docker-compose exec gitlab /bin/bash

and edited /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/app/models/project.rb using

vi /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/app/models/project.rb

where on line 2890 you can find the following function:

##
# This method is here because of support for legacy container repository
# which has exactly the same path like project does, but which might not be
# persisted in `container_repositories` table.
#
def has_root_container_repository_tags?
  return false unless Gitlab.config.registry.enabled

  ContainerRepository.build_root_repository(self).has_tags?
end

We just want Gitlab to ignore the repository stuff, so we insert return false after the return false unless Gitlab.config.registry.enabled line:

##
# This method is here because of support for legacy container repository
# which has exactly the same path like project does, but which might not be
# persisted in `container_repositories` table.
#
def has_root_container_repository_tags?
  return false unless Gitlab.config.registry.enabled
  return false

  ContainerRepository.build_root_repository(self).has_tags?
end

to fake Gitlab into thinking that repository does not have any legacy registries. After that, save the file and

sudo gitlab-ctl restart

after which you should be able to transfer your repositories just fine.

How I fixed docker panic: assertion failed: write: circular dependency occurred

Problem:

When starting docker on a VM that got suddenly turned off before during a power outage, the docker daemon failed to start up with the following error log:

Jan 05 15:15:15 CoreOS-Haar systemd[1]: docker.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=2/INVALIDARGUMENT

Solution:

First, try moving /var/lib/docker/network/files/local-kv.db:

sudo mv /var/lib/docker/network/files/local-kv.db /opt/old-docker-local-kv.db

and then restarting docker using e.g. sudo systemctl restart docker, which worked for many users on GitHub.

Only if that does not work, try the following brute-force method!

Move the /var/lib/docker directory to a new location for backup, after which docker was able to start up again:

sudo mv /var/lib/docker /opt/old-var-lib-docker

This is a pretty brute-force method of doing that but for me it worked totally fine since my setup did not use volumes but local directories. In case you are actively using volumes, you might need to restore the volumes from /opt/old-var-lib-docker manually!

Simple uptime-kuma docker-compose setup: Self-hosted UptimeRobot alternative

In order to install Uptime-Kuma, first create a directory for the service to reside in. In this example, we’ll use /opt/uptimekuma

Note that at the moment UptimeKuma only supports one user, so if you need multiple users, you need to create multiple instances of Uptime-Kuma. Fortunately, this is extremely easy using docker-compose.

Now we will create docker-compose.yml

version: '3'
services:
  kuma:
    image: 'louislam/uptime-kuma:1'
    ports:
      - '17958:3001'
    volumes:
      - './uptimekuma_data:/app/data'

This will listen on port 17958. You can choose any port you want here, just make sure to choose different ports when running different instances of uptime-kuma.

Now you can use our script from Create a systemd service for your docker-compose project in 10 seconds to automatically start Uptime-Kuma on boot (and start it immediately):

curl -fsSL https://techoverflow.net/scripts/create-docker-compose-service.sh | sudo bash /dev/stdin

Now access https://<IP of controller>:17958 (or your custom HTTP port) to get started with the Uptime-Kuma setup.

Simple XenOrchestra setup using docker-compose

Also see this variant with Traefik reverse proxy config: XenOrchestra docker-compose setup with Traefik labels

Create a directory such as /opt/xenorchestra and create docker-compose.yml:

version: '3'
services:
    xen-orchestra:
        restart: unless-stopped
        image: ronivay/xen-orchestra:latest
        container_name: xen-orchestra
        network_mode: host
        stop_grace_period: 1m
        environment:
          - HTTP_PORT=1780
        cap_add:
          - SYS_ADMIN
        security_opt:
          - apparmor:unconfined
        volumes:
          - ./xo-data:/var/lib/xo-server
          - ./redis-data:/var/lib/redis

You can choose any HTTP port you want using HTTP_PORT=1780. In this case, we opted for using network_mode: host to bypass the docker networking, since XenOrchestra seems to work better with full network access instead of the container having an own IP.

Now you can use our script from Create a systemd service for your docker-compose project in 10 seconds to automatically start XenOrchestra on boot (and start it immediately):

curl -fsSL https://techoverflow.net/scripts/create-docker-compose-service.sh | sudo bash /dev/stdin

Now access https://<IP of controller>:1780 (or your custom HTTP port) to get started with the XO setup.

Simple Unifi controller setup using docker-compose

Updated 2022-12-24: Added --bind_ip 127.0.0.1 to prevent remote MongoDB access in context with network_mode: host. Thanks Matt Johnson for the suggestion 🙂

This setup runs both MongoDB and unifi using network_mode: host, this is why we are running MongoDB on a nonstandard port (so it will not interfere with other MongoDB instances). This has the huge benefit of allowing direct Layer 2 network access allowing L2 access point adoption.

Create a directory such as /opt/unifi and create docker-compose.yml

version: '2.3'
services:
  mongo:
    image: mongo:3.6
    network_mode: host
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - ./mongo_db:/data/db
      - ./mongo/dbcfg:/data/configdb
    command: mongod --bind_ip 127.0.0.1 --port 29718
  controller:
    image: "jacobalberty/unifi:latest"
    depends_on:
      - mongo
    init: true
    network_mode: host
    restart: always

      - DB_NAME=unifi
  logs:
    image: bash
    depends_on:
      - controller
    command: bash -c 'tail -F /unifi/log/*.log'
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - ./unifi_log:/unifi/log

Now create the directories with the correct permissions:

mkdir -p unifi_backup unifi_cert unifi_data unifi_dir unifi_init unifi_log unifi_run
chown -R 999:999 unifi_backup unifi_cert unifi_data unifi_dir unifi_init unifi_log unifi_run

Now you can use our script from Create a systemd service for your docker-compose project in 10 seconds to automatically start the controller on boot (and start it immediately):

curl -fsSL https://techoverflow.net/scripts/create-docker-compose-service.sh | sudo bash /dev/stdin

Now access https://<IP of controller>:8443 to get started with the setup or import a backup.

How to fix Unifi controller on Docker error /unifi/data/system.properties: Permission denied

Problem:

Your Unifi controller running on docker or docker-compose shows log messages like

controller_1  | [2021-12-29 17:37:26,396] <docker-entrypoint> Starting unifi controller service.
controller_1  | /usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh: line 97: /unifi/data/system.properties: Permission denied
controller_1  | /usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh: line 97: /unifi/data/system.properties: Permission denied
controller_1  | /usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh: line 97: /unifi/data/system.properties: Permission denied
controller_1  | /usr/local/bin/docker-entrypoint.sh: line 97: /unifi/data/system.properties: Permission denied

on startup.

Solution:

Fix the permissions of the directory mounted. I have listed

volumes:
  - ./unifi_data:/unifi/data

in my docker-compose.yml.

Fix the permissions by

sudo chown -R 999:999 unifi_data

Simple HomeAssistant docker-compose setup

First, create a directory where HomeAssistant will reside. I use /opt/homeassistant.

Create docker-compose.yml:

version: '3.5'
services:
  homeassistant:
    container_name: homeassistant
    restart: unless-stopped
    image: ghcr.io/home-assistant/home-assistant:stable
    network_mode: host
    privileged: true
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin
    volumes:
      - ./homeassistant_config:/config
    depends_on:
      - mosquitto
  mosquitto:
    image: eclipse-mosquitto
    network_mode: host
    volumes:
      - ./mosquitto_conf:/mosquitto/config
      - ./mosquitto_data:/mosquitto/data
      - ./mosquitto_log:/mosquitto/log

Now start homeassistant so it creates the default config files:

docker-compose up

Once you see

homeassistant    | [services.d] done.

Press Ctrl+C to abort.

Now we’ll create the Mosquitto MQTT server config file in mosquitto_conf/mosquitto.conf:

persistence true
persistence_location /mosquitto/data/
log_dest file /mosquitto/log/mosquitto.log

listener 1883
## Authentication ##
allow_anonymous false
password_file /mosquitto/config/mosquitto.passwd

Now create the mosquitto password file and fix the permissions using

touch mosquitto_conf/mosquitto.passwd
chown -R 1883:1883 mosquitto_conf

We can now start create the homeassistant mosquitto user using

docker-compose run mosquitto mosquitto_passwd -c /mosquitto/config/mosquitto.passwd homeassistant

Enter a random password that will be used for the homeassistant user

Now we can edit the homeassistant config homeassistant_config/configuration.yml. This is my config – ensure to insert the random MQTT password we used before instead of ep2ooy8di3avohn1Ahm6eegheiResh:

# Configure a default setup of Home Assistant (frontend, api, etc)
default_config:

http:
  use_x_forwarded_for: true
  trusted_proxies:
  - 127.0.0.1
  ip_ban_enabled: true
  login_attempts_threshold: 5

mqtt:
  broker: "127.0.0.1"
  username: "homeassistant"
  password: "ep2ooy8di3avohn1Ahm6eegheiResh"

# Text to speech
tts:
  - platform: google_translate

group: !include groups.yaml
automation: !include automations.yaml
script: !include scripts.yaml
scene: !include scenes.yaml

Now we can start the server using

docker-compose up

You can also use our script to generate a systemd service to autostart the docker-compose config on boot:

curl -fsSL https://techoverflow.net/scripts/create-docker-compose-service.sh | sudo bash /dev/stdin

Now login to the web interface on port 8123 and configure your HomeAssistant!

How to fix Caddy container generating docker volume with autosave.json

My docker-compose-based Caddy setup re-created the container and hence created a new docker volume with only the autosave.json whenever it was restarted. Since it was auto-restarted once a minute, this led do over 70000 volumes piling up in /var/lib/docker/volumes.

The Caddy log shows that Caddy is creating /config/caddy/autosave.json:

mycaddy_1 | {"level":"info","ts":1637877640.7375677,"msg":"autosaved config (load with --resume flag)","file":"/config/caddy/autosave.json"}

I fixed this by mapping /config/caddy to a local directory:

- ./caddy_data:/config/caddy/

Complete `docker-compose.yml` example:

version: '3.5'
services:
  mycaddy:
    image: 'caddy:2.4.6-alpine'
    volumes:
      - ./caddy_data:/config/caddy/
      - ./static:/usr/share/caddy
      - ./Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile
    ports:
      - 19815:80

How to fix Mosquitto ‘exited with code 13’

When mosquitto exits with code 13 such as a in a docker based setup, you will often see not error messsage:

Attaching to mosquitto_mosquitto_1
mosquitto_mosquitto_1 exited with code 13

However, there will be an error message in mosquitto.log. So, ensure that you have configured a log_dest file in your mosquitto.conf such as:

log_dest file /mosquitto/log/mosquitto.log

and check that file. In my case it showed these error messages:

1637860284: mosquitto version 2.0.14 starting
1637860284: Config loaded from /mosquitto/config/mosquitto.conf.
1637860284: Error: Unable to open pwfile "/mosquitto/conf/mosquitto.passwd".
1637860284: Error opening password file "/mosquitto/conf/mosquitto.passwd".

In my case, the path of the password file was mis-spelled (conf instead of config)

Note that you need to create the password file in order for mosquitto to start up!
