up -d\n```\n\nthen reloading for proxy ssl configuration\n\n```\ndocker container restart proxy\n```\n\nThe containers are now built and running. You should be able to access the NodeBB installation with the configured IP in the browser address. `https://DOMAIN_NAME`.\n\nFor convenience you may add a new entry into your hosts file.\n\n### Portainer\n\n```\ndocker compose -f portainer-docker-compose.yml -p portainer up -d \n```\n\nmanage docker with [Portainer](https://www.portainer.io/) is the definitive container management tool for Docker, Docker Swarm with it's highly intuitive GUI and API. \n\nYou can also visit `https://DOMAIN_NAME:9001` to access portainer after starting the containers.\n\n### Usage\n\n#### You could manage docker containers without command line with portainer.\n\n#### Here’s a quick reference of commonly used Docker Compose commands\n\n```\ndocker ps -a # Lists all containers managed by the compose file\n```\n\n```\ndocker compose start # Starts previously stopped containers\n```\n\n```\ndocker compose stop # Stops all running containers\n```\n\n```\ndocker compose down # Stops and removes containers, networks, etc.\n```\n\n```\ndocker compose down -v # Add --volumes to remove volumes explicitly\n```\n\n```\ndocker rm -f $(docker ps -a -q) # Removes portainer and the other containers\n```\n\n```\ndocker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q) # Removes all volumes\n```\n\n```\ndocker network prune # Remove all unused networks\n```\n\n```\ndocker system prune # Removes unused data (containers, networks, images, and optionally volumes)\n```\n\n```\ndocker system prune -a # Removes all unused images, not just dangling ones\n```\n\n```\ndocker rmi $(docker image ls -q) # Removes portainer and the other images\n```\n\n```\ndocker container logs container_name_or_id # Shows logs from all services\n```\n\n#### Project from existing source\n\nCopy all files into a new directory:\n\n```\ndocker compose up -d # Starts services in detached mode (in the background)\n```\n\n#### Docker run reference\n\n[https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/compose/](https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/compose/)\n\n#### NodeBB\n\nYou should see the \"Home|NodeBB\" page in your browser. If not, please check if your Node.js installation satisfies NodeBB's requirements.\n\n```\nhttps://SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN_NAME\n```\n\nThe admin screen :\n```\nUsername: admin\nPassword: admin123\n```\n\nadd and/or remove nodebb site folders and files with any ftp client program in ```./nodebb/public``` folder.\n\u003cbr /\u003eYou can also visit `https://SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN_NAME` to access website after starting the containers.\n\n#### Database\n\nMongodb settings; |Host: database; Port: 27017; Database: `DATABASE_NAME`; User: `DATABASE_USERNAME`; Password: `DATABASE_ROOT_PASSWORD`| in the `.env` file.\n\n#### Proxy\n\nProxying is typically used to distribute the load among several servers, seamlessly show content from different websites, or pass requests for processing to application servers over protocols other than HTTP.\n\nadd or remove code in the ```./proxy/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf.template``` file for custom proxy configurations\n\n[https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/reverse_proxy.html](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/reverse_proxy.html)\n\n#### Compass\n\nYou can also visit `https://compass.DOMAIN_NAME` to access Compass after starting the containers.\n\nThe authorize screen(htpasswd; username and password) and compass login screen the username `CW_BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME` and the password `CW_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD` is the same as supplied in the `.env` file.\n\n[MongoDB Compass](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/compass/) is a powerful GUI for querying, aggregating, and analyzing your MongoDB data in a visual environment.\n\n#### backup\n\nThis will back up the all files and folders in database/dump sql and html volumes, once per day, and write it to ```./backups``` with a filename like backup-2023-01-01T10-18-00.tar.gz\n\n##### can run on a custom cron schedule\n\n```BACKUP_CRON_EXPRESSION: '20 01 * * *'``` the UTC timezone.","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdamalis%2Ffull-stack-proxy-apache2-nodebb-for-everyone-with-docker-compose","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdamalis%2Ffull-stack-proxy-apache2-nodebb-for-everyone-with-docker-compose","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdamalis%2Ffull-stack-proxy-apache2-nodebb-for-everyone-with-docker-compose/lists"}
