[Enhancement] Self hosted option - Docker Swarm with Traefik

[matt-laird]

Hey Team,

Came across this cool project last night and got a personal instance running using a Swarm with Traefik to link things together. Had to figure out a lot of the container relationships and configs, since the documentation and general project is still getting up to speed. (personally, I would love this project to gain more traction that Invidious as it has a ton of potential)

Below is the contents of the compose:

version: '3.8'

services:
  pipedfrontend:
    image: 1337kavin/piped-frontend:latest
    entrypoint: ash -c 'sed -i s/pipedapi.kavin.rocks/api.yourdomain.com/g /usr/share/nginx/html/js/* && /docker-entrypoint.sh && nginx -g "daemon off;"'
    networks:
      - traefik_public
    deploy:
      mode: global
      placement:
        constraints: [node.role == manager]
      labels:
        - "traefik.docker.network=traefik_public"
        - "traefik.http.services.piped-ui.loadbalancer.server.port=80"
        - "traefik.http.routers.piped-ui.entrypoints=https"
        - "traefik.http.routers.piped-ui.rule=Host(`frontend.yourdomain.com`)"

  piped:
    image: 1337kavin/piped:latest
    volumes:
      - ./Piped/config/config.properties:/app/config.properties:ro
    networks:
      - internal
    deploy:
      mode: global
      placement:
        constraints: [node.role == manager]

  nginx:
    image: nginx:mainline-alpine
    networks:
      - traefik_public
      - internal
    volumes:
      - ./Piped/config/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro
      - ./Piped/config/pipedproxy.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/pipedproxy.conf:ro
      - ./Piped/config/ytproxy.conf:/etc/nginx/snippets/ytproxy.conf:ro
      - ./Piped/ytproxy:/var/run/ytproxy
    deploy:
      mode: global
      placement:
        constraints: [node.role == manager]
      labels:
        - "traefik.docker.network=traefik_public"
        - "traefik.http.services.piped-proxy.loadbalancer.server.port=80"
        - "traefik.http.routers.piped-proxy.entrypoints=https"
        - "traefik.http.routers.piped-proxy.rule=Host(`proxy.yourdomain.com`)"

  ytproxy:
    image: 1337kavin/ytproxy:latest
    networks:
      - internal
    volumes:
      - ./Piped/ytproxy/:/app/socket/
    deploy:
      mode: global
      placement:
        constraints: [node.role == manager]

  varnish:
    image: varnish:7.0-alpine
    volumes:
      - ./Piped/config/default.vcl:/etc/varnish/default.vcl:ro
    networks:
      - traefik_public
      - internal
    deploy:
      mode: global
      placement:
        constraints: [node.role == manager]
      labels:
        - "traefik.docker.network=traefik_public"
        - "traefik.http.services.piped-api.loadbalancer.server.port=80"
        - "traefik.http.routers.piped-api.entrypoints=https"
        - "traefik.http.routers.piped-api.rule=Host(`api.yourdomain.com`)"

  postgres:
    image: postgres:13-alpine
    volumes:
      - ./Piped/db:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    networks:
      - internal
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_DB=piped
      - POSTGRES_USER=piped
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=changeme
    deploy:
      mode: global
      placement:
        constraints: [node.role == manager]

networks:
  traefik_public:
    external: true
  internal:
    driver: overlay
    ipam:
      config:
        - subnet: 172.16.25.0/24

Notes:

• The traefik_public network is created external to this stack that serves as the ingest network, this may be different for other people.
• Nginx is still used in this stack to serve the proxy, in the limited time I had I thought leaving this was the best option.
• Additional changes were made to the config files in this repo's template folder.
  • config.properties - Changed host names and DB credentials.
  • pipedproxy.conf - Changed API host name.

I'm sure this all can be improved, but I thought it could serve as a good starting point for the multi-container architecture that has been chosen.

Hopefully this can help in some shape or form. Let me know how else I can help with the project.

I honestly don't know much about Traefik, and have never used it 😅

Support for Traefik could be added to this repository/script later, however I need to understand how it works before I touch anything.

If you're still using Nginx, why not just proxy everything to 127.0.0.1:8080 along with the Host header? That should be easier than everything combined!

[matt-laird]

Cool, yeah I understand, just thought I'd share as I know there will be some people that would ask about alternate self-hosted options.

Side question, has there been an official lunch for this project, or is it still getting there? The documentation is very vague.

[FireMasterK]

The documentation is very vague.

This is something that needs work, I'll be working on this shortly since even the Nginx configuration isn't documented yet (and was only recently implemented).

@matt-laird Thank you for your docker-compose.yml! I also use Traefik and I was able to use your docker-compose.yml to run Piped. I don't use Swarm so I just took all of that out, and it works perfectly.

Can you share your compose?

Tried to do that, did not work. Could you please share your compose file?

Hi, I added support for traefik in https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped-Docker/commit/49b98cbeb3a1d8042ccd384b81976793bcd06a53. You need to have an entrypoint called websecure. You just need to select nginx in the configure script, you'll have a (hopefuly) Traefik compatible docker-compose file.
