Installation (video)

Installation

1. Install Docker CE 17.09+, docker-compose 1.25+ and Git.
2. Clone this repository.

   git clone https://github.com/SUPLA/supla-docker.git
   

3. Generate sample config by running

   ./supla-docker/supla.sh
   

   Review the settings in ./supla-docker/.env file.
4. Start SUPLA!

   ./supla-docker/supla.sh start
   

Creating an user account

Before you launch the containers, set the FIRST_USER_EMAIL and FIRST_USER_PASSWORD settings in the .env file. The account will be automatically created for you. You can remove these settings afterwards not to expose your password.

If the containers are started already, you can create new user account interactively with:

./supla-docker/supla.sh create-confirmed-user

Upgrading to the newest version

cd supla-docker
git pull
./supla.sh upgrade

Configure your SSL certificate

After the first launch, a self-signed certificate will be generated for you to make sure everything works. However, web browser will complain when using such certificate so it's good idea to further configure your instance. If you have your own SSL certificate, put it in server.key and server.crt files inside ssl/cloud directory and restart the application.

If your SSL certificate consists of a chainfile (i.e. there is another certificate file besides the .crt and .key files):

1. Make a copy of original certificate files.
2. Prepare one-file certificate by concatenating the certificate file and the chain (in this order!)

   cat server_original.crt rootca_chain.crt > server.crt
   

3. Store the resulting server.crt in ssl/cloud.
4. Restart the application.

Launching in proxy mode

If you either

• already have another dockerized application running on ports 80 or 443 or
• do not own a valid SSL certificate for your domain but still wants your cloud instance to be accepted by the browsers

then you should run the SUPLA containers in proxy mode. Here's how.

1. Execute all installation steps but the last one (do not start the application yet). If you have started it already, stop it with ./supla.sh stop.
2. Clone and run the docker-compose-letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion according to the instructions on their site. Clone it outside the supla-docker directory. An example desired directory structure is as follows:

   /some/apps/directory/
     supla-docker/
     docker-compose-letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion/
   

3. In the file supla-docker/.env find the following configuration

   COMPOSE_FILE=docker-compose.yml:docker-compose.standalone.yml
   

   and change it to

   COMPOSE_FILE=docker-compose.yml:docker-compose.proxy.yml
   

4. In the file supla-docker/.env make sure that CLOUD_DOMAIN is valid domain name that should point to the SUPLA instance (can not be an IP address!) and the ADMIN_EMAIL is a correct e-mail address.
5. Start SUPLA!

   ./supla-docker/supla.sh start
   

If everything went smoothly, you should be able to access SUPLA Cloud by going to the configured domain name and it should introduce you a valid SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt.

Troubleshooting

On any problems, check logs first

docker logs --since=5m supla-cloud
docker logs --since=5m supla-server
docker logs --since=5m supla-db

Moreover, if you are running in the proxy mode, you might also be interested in logs from the proxy containers.

Cannot start service supla-cloud: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint supla-cloud (***): Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp 0.0.0.0:443: bind: address already in use

It means that you have another application running on the port 80 or 443. You can either

• turn it off and try to launch SUPLA again or
• change the ports that supla-cloud container listens on in the .env file or
• try to run them both with proxy configuration described above.
