Domain configuration

Getting started​

Add a label under the deploy key in your project compose file to expose your service on the desired domain. Traefik will pick up any changes to updating services so whenever you redeploy, Traefik will try to create SSL certificates using Let's Encrypt if they don't exist already.

Environment variables

You can use environment variables in you Compose files.
Place a .env file next to the docker-compose.yml project file to use the environment variables.
Or update the swarmlet-user-config Docker Config so that the deployer service can access the variable during builds.

Example project compose file​

./.env
THE_DOMAIN=my-website.com
./docker-compose.yml
version: "3.7"

services:
  frontend:
    build: .
    image: ${SWARMLET_REGISTRY}/my-website-frontend
    networks:
      - traefik-public
    deploy:
      mode: replicated
      replicas: 1
      labels:
        - traefik.enable=true
        - traefik.http.services.my-website.loadbalancer.server.port=5000
        - traefik.http.routers.my-website.rule=Host(`${THE_DOMAIN}`)
        - traefik.http.routers.my-website.entrypoints=http,https
        - traefik.http.routers.my-website.middlewares=redirect@file

networks:
  traefik-public:
    external: true

Updating a domain​

Maybe you want to host the registry on a different domain, instead of the default registry.${ROOT_DOMAIN}. To update any module, simply git pull the modules' repository, edit the configuration, commit and push to redeploy. Another option would be to use a service like Swarmpit or Portainer to redeploy using a web interface.

Example: Changing the exposed internal registry URL to https://custom-registry.my-domain.com

git clone git@swarm:registry
cd registry

### edit '.env' and 'docker-compose.yml'

git add . && git commit -m 'update'
git push origin master

# $ ...
# $ remote:  Stack deployed:
# $ remote: [registry] — https://custom-registry.my-domain.com

Try it out:

docker login custom-registry.my-domain.com
$ Username: <provide username configured during installation>
$ Password: <provide password configured during installation>
$ Login Succeeded
