Simple docker https configuration for strapi using traefik

• https://github.com/containous/traefik
• https://github.com/strapi/strapi
• https://github.com/postgres/postgres (for this example)

1. Clone this repository (or fork it)

git clone git@github.com:stafyniaksacha/strapi-traefik-https.git

cd ./strapi-traefik-https

2. Create a new Strapi project in ./strapi folder

yarn create strapi-app strapi

or copy your project to ./strapi
or create a symlink to your existing project to ./strapi
or clone a git submodule into ./strapi

3. Add strapi-connector-bookshelf and pg packages to strapi project

cd ./strapi

yarn add strapi-connector-bookshelf pg

4. Update Strapi configuration

// ./strapi/config/database.js

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  defaultConnection: 'default',
  connections: {
    default: {
      connector: 'bookshelf',
      settings: {
        client: 'postgres',
        host: env('DATABASE_HOST', 'postgres'),
        port: env.int('DATABASE_PORT', 5432),
        database: env('DATABASE_NAME', 'postgresdb'),
        username: env('DATABASE_USERNAME', 'postgresuser'),
        password: env('DATABASE_PASSWORD', 'postgrespassword'),
      },
      options: {},
    },
  },
});

// ./strapi/config/server.js

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  host: env('HOST', '0.0.0.0'),
  port: env.int('PORT', 1337),
  url: `https://${env('STRAPI_URL', '127.0.0.1')}/`,
  admin: {
    auth: {
      secret: env('ADMIN_JWT_SECRET'),
    },
  }
});

5. Create docker network

docker network create my-app-services

6. Start the whole stack

docker-compose up

Strapi admin: https://strapi.127.0.0.1.xip.io/admin
Traefik dashboard: https://traefik.127.0.0.1.xip.io/ (htpasswd auth: user/pass)

Traefik is binded to the host network:
using xip.io service allow us to have a wildcard dns pointing to 127.0.0.1

You can change ./traefik/htpasswd file to change http auth for traefik dashboard

1. install node_modules from your host

yarn

2. start your stack with docker-compose.dev.yml

CURRENT_UID=$(id -u):$(id -g) docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up

CURRENT_UID is used to bind your host user to the docker container user
so files created inside the container or outside remain the same (no fs erros !)

Generate a folder in ./backups directory containing:

• strapi uploaded media ./backups/YYYYMMDD-HHmm/strapi_uploads.tar.gz
• postgres dump ./backups/YYYYMMDD-HHmm/dump_postgres.sql

chmod +x ./backup.sh

./backup.sh
