Specifically, the `db` container needs to initialize and so isn't available to the `web` container right away. Only once the `db` container comes online does the `web` container start building and initializing the calckey tables. Once the instance is up you can use a web browser to access the web interface at `http://serverip:3000` (where `serverip` is the IP of the server you are running the calckey instance on). ## Securing your instance with a reverse proxy On its own *calckey* serves itself with HTTP, and does not support SSL. In order to support encrypted connections via HTTPS - an absolute necessity if you intend to host an instance accessible from the public internet - you need to add a reverse proxy to your setup. -### Adding reverse proxy container -Only [swag](https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/swag) has been tested, but a similar setup should be possible with [caddy](https://hub.docker.com/_/caddy), or [traefik](https://hub.docker.com/_/traefik) or a bare metal `nginx` install. -- Follow the instructions at [https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-swag](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-swag) to set up a separate `swag` container. -- Add a second shared external docker network for the `calckey` and `swag` containers to talk to each other, ensure both are connected to it via their respective `docker-compose.yml` files. -- configure `/config/nginx/proxy-confs/calckey.subdomain.conf` with the following: -``` -server { - listen 443 ssl; - listen [::]:443 ssl; - server_name yourdomain.whatever; - include /config/nginx/ssl.conf; - client_max_body_size 0; - - location / { - include /config/nginx/proxy.conf; - include /config/nginx/resolver.conf; - set $upstream_app calckey_web_1; - set $upstream_port 3000; - set $upstream_proto http; - proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port; - - } -} -``` -Note: Make sure you set `server_name` in the above to your domain, and `$upstream_app` to the name for your calckey container. - -Once you bring up both the `swag` reverse proxy container with the above configuration, and the `calckey` containers, you should be serving your instance and be able to browse to it at `https://yourdomain.whatever`. - -## Enabling elasticsearch -If you decide to enable `elasticsearch`, you can uncomment the configuration lines for it in the `docker-compose.yml`, but you will also need to configure the `Elasticsearch configuration` section of the `config/default.yml`. - -This is disabled by default, as it uses a great deal of server memory and can increase the load for your instance significantly. It is unlikely that you will need to enable this for a small server, and if you are running a giant server then you probably do not need this `README` to begin with. - -## Enjoy being a fediverse server admin
