Stack

  • Server: Hetzner CX32, Ubuntu 24.04, Helsinki (hel1)
  • Orchestration: Dokploy (Docker Swarm)
  • Reverse proxy: Traefik with Let's Encrypt TLS
  • Access: Tailscale SSH only (ssh root@manohar-ubuntu)
  • DNS: Namecheap → manohargupta.com

Deployment notes

  • All compose files are in deployments/
  • Every compose declares dokploy-network as external: true
  • Labels duplicated under both labels: and deploy.labels: — required because Dokploy uses swarm stack deploy for multi-service composes (swarm provider reads deploy.labels; docker provider reads labels)
  • Secrets set in Dokploy Env tab, never hardcoded (except bcrypt hashes in labels which Dokploy cannot substitute)
  • Apprise and ChangeDetection restricted to Tailscale CGNAT range (100.64.0.0/10)

Key learnings

  • Forgejo Docker image uses /data as root, not /var/lib/gitea
  • n8n WEBHOOK_URL must match public domain exactly or webhook URLs are wrong
  • htpasswd hashes in Traefik labels need escaping (Compose interpolates single $)
  • Dokploy env var substitution works in environment: blocks but NOT in labels:
