Containerized Server Infrastructure (Nginx + Gitlab/Jenkins/Github + Portainer)

This repository suggests a configuration to monitor and manage domains on a containerized web host.

Different configurations could be selected by editing the docker-compose.yml file in the root of the project. Just disable what you don't want by converting the line to the comment.

Configuration

By the following step configuration.

Install Docker and Docker-Compose

Install Docker on the operating system from docker website.

Clone the repository and use docker compose in the root of the project.

git clone https://github.com/amirreza-noori/containerized-server-infrastructure.git
cd containerized-server-infrastructure
docker compose up -d --build

Nginx Proxy Manager

Go to Cloudflare and add an A record for * domains that point to the host IP.

Open <host-ip>:65510 in the browser. Use admin@example.com as email and changeme as password. Please change the default email and password after the first login.

Go to the Proxy Hosts part and add your domains and service as following:

<subdomain-for-jenkins>.<domain>
http://jenkins:8080

<subdomain-for-nginx>.<domain>
http://nginx-proxy-manager:81

<subdomain-for-portainer>.<domain>
https://portainer:9443

<subdomain-for-gitlab>.<domain>
http://gitlab:80

Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)

In this part two options are available:

1. using Github and Jenkins for CI/CD
2. using self-hosted Gitlab and its runner

Github/Jenkins

Build your repository in GitHub and add a Jenkins file in the project root (example file).

Open https://<subdomain-for-jenkins>.<domain> in your browser. Do the installation with Wizard. After installation click on New Item. In the pipeline part select to read Jenkins file from the repository address.

Then go to GitHub, open the settings of the project, click on webhook, and add the https://<subdomain-for-jenkins>.<domain>/github-webhook/.

Self-hosted Gitlab

To use this method uncomment ./gitlab/docker-compose.yml in the docker-compose.yml

To use this method uncomment ./gitlab/docker-compose.yml in the docker-compose.yml file. Use this article and follow the GitLab Lunching part.

Portainer

Portainer is a good monitoring tool for docker. No configuration is required, just open the subdomain and use it.
