My Docker Stack

flamingm0e · December 10, 2018, 11:32pm

yeah, should be fine.

DavidFW1960 · December 10, 2018, 11:44pm

it seems to be. It’s a pity that docker-compose doesn’t get updated along with everything else… docker keeps up to date but not compose

@flamingm0e:
Could you elaborate on the differences between the containers in you stack regarding whether you choose to run a container as privileged: true or with environment variables PGID=0 and PUID=0?

Isn’t both giving the container root privileges?

Thanks in advance - guess you have your reasons - trying to learn from the experts

flamingm0e · December 11, 2018, 7:05pm

Yeah, six in one hand, half a dozen in the other. No rhyme or reason, other than what some of the docker images suggested.

cbh · December 11, 2018, 7:12pm

Thanks

I’m currently running the following on my Synology NAS as separate Docker files and now I want to add InfluxDB and either Grafana or ChronoGraf (or both). Seeing as I’ll then have 7 or 8 containers, I’d prefer to move these to docker compose to simplify management. Anyone got a working docker-compose.yml file they can share with all or most of that?

MQTT and UniFi are my most important with watchtower a close 2nd as it has been awesome in recently auto-updating the UniFi container.

You may find lot of info in this post.

xbmcnut · March 13, 2019, 9:18am

Thank you so much. Not sure on the environment variables though. Do these need defining when using docker-compose (PGID/PUID) as these are not in my docker file currently.

flamingm0e · March 13, 2019, 2:03pm

It depends on the container you are running. Does it require special user permissions for anything? Or do you want to make sure you have the same user running across all containers as well as the permissions on the file system?

The choice is yours. If your apps work without them, then don’t worry about it.

borland502 · April 6, 2019, 7:04pm

Love the stack example, so I in no way want what I say next to be anything but a reflection of my skill on a much less powerful docker server. But. Do not run syncthing as is from the example on a Synology running a Celeron or less. You will find a true meaning of pain, culminating in a killall dockerd. The syno just collapsed like a cheap trinket under the onslaught.

I also love syncthing, but I had to shift it to an echo only service to get it to settle down as a backup service for my others computers. I thought I’d give sync as a “syncthing” another go, but alas, it’s just not to be.

I’m no l33t sysadmin, don’t even play one on tv, but if you aren’t one either you might want to give that one bit of the stack a pass. Otherwise, thanks for providing a wonderful template to build from!

…The syno was fine afterwards, but I’ll be appropriately wary now of “unless-stopped”.
PS Or maybe it’s just me, there’s a syno user 3mo back. Mine was a DS218+

flamingm0e · April 6, 2019, 8:20pm

syncthing docker runs fine on a pi, so I don’t know why your celeron would have any issues.

docker stop hass-sync

borland502 · April 6, 2019, 8:49pm

Thanks for the command. Dunno but it ran away with the processor and wouldn’t die until I did the excessive killall and removed it from the stack deploy. I haven’t had any issues since.

flamingm0e · April 6, 2019, 9:05pm

Make sure your syncthing is IGNORING the home assistant log and db file. I can see where it would CONSTANTLY be syncing those 2 things, causing a CPU spike. If you want to just create the setting, point the sync directory at something other than home assistant config directory, load up the web GUI for it, and make your changes, then fire up the container pointing to the correct directory.

borland502 · April 6, 2019, 10:28pm

Quite possible. That was why I’d run into the syncthing issue before on something else - excessive updates. Thanks again for the the advice. Now I just have to figure out what I’m doing wrong with Influx. That’s pretty much the last of my issues in converting the Hassio setup I had running.

I’d like the auth to work, and it’s a departure from what I saw of your setup, but none o’ the params I’ve tried seem to do the trick. 404 when HA tries to post to the db since neither the db nor the users were established. I’ll try establishing the user/db manually in case it’s something dumb like the syno firewall. Ah, and scanning history you posting the conf, excellent. If this works, I’ll owe you a debt. Getting off the Raspi was more work than I expected.

influxdb:
    container_name: influxdb
    restart: unless-stopped
    image: influxdb:latest
    volumes:
      - /volume1/docker/homeassistant/influxdb/influxdb.conf:/etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf:ro
      - /volume1/docker/homeassistant/influxdb/data:/var/lib/influxdb
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    environment:
      - INFLUXDB_DB='home_assistant'
      - INFLUXDB_HTTP_ENABLED=true
      - INFLUXDB_HTTP_AUTH_ENABLED=true
      - INFLUXDB_ADMIN_USER='admin'
      - INFLUXDB_ADMIN_PASSWORD=''
      - INFLUXDB_USER_PASSWORD=''
      - INFLUXDB_USER='homeassistant'
    ports:
      - "8086:8086"

flamingm0e · April 6, 2019, 10:34pm

Yeah, definitely read through this page:

https://hub.docker.com/_/influxdb

I probably didn’t go into the details on here because it took me a bit to figure it all out, and I didn’t document the process.

borland502 · April 7, 2019, 12:27am

Thanks again. After 3 hours on the subject I ended up doing what I did last time: Create the the username and password then bring up auth in the config afterward. From what I can tell, at least one issue was that influx will only try once to create everything for you. If that fails, the docker volume will be filled with a blank influx instance and that’s it. Auth is up, but no one’s home.

Even after figuring that out and wiping the instance to reinit, I couldn’t get the automagic to work right. I dearly wanted a one-shot stack deploy though with auth.

fabnavigator · April 27, 2019, 8:57pm

Thank you for sharing this. For me, seeing you use postgres was the ticket. I had been struggling with mariadb, and postgres isn’t giving me any problems at all.

Jokerigno · June 10, 2019, 4:54pm

Hi, can you share you compose file? I tried to create a good one but without success!

hendrik · June 19, 2019, 7:35pm

Did you ever solve this? I keep getting exit code 3 on both eclipse mosquitto as toke mosquitto when i try to start them (through compose though I can’t start them in any way even GUI) on my Synology. Its starting to become annoying…

mosquitto:
image: eclipse-mosquitto:latest
restart: always
ports:
- “1883:1883”
- “9001:9001”
volumes:
- /volume1/docker/mosquitto/config:/mosquitto/config
- /volume1/docker/mosquitto/data:/mosquitto/data
- /volume1/docker/mosquitto/log:/mosquitto/log

I manually created the directories and even CHMOD 777 everything. Nothing helps.
