Full docker example

This docker compose configuration will run Vikunja with backend and frontend with a mariadb as database. It uses an nginx container or traefik on the host to proxy backend and frontend into a single port.

For all available configuration options, see [configuration]({{< ref "config.md">}}).

NOTE: If you intend to run Vikunja with mysql and/or to use non-latin characters }}">make sure your db is utf-8 compatible.
All examples on this page already reflect this and do not require additional work.

Redis

To use redis, you'll need to add this to the config examples below:

{{< highlight yaml >}} version: '3'

services: api: image: vikunja/api environment: VIKUNJA_REDIS_ENABLED: 1 VIKUNJA_REDIS_HOST: 'redis:6379' VIKUNJA_CACHE_ENABLED: 1 VIKUNJA_CACHE_TYPE: redis volumes: - ./files:/app/vikunja/files redis: image: redis {{< /highlight >}}

Example with traefik 2

This example assumes traefik version 2 installed and configured to use docker as a configuration provider.

We also make a few assumtions here which you'll most likely need to adjust for your traefik setup:

• Your domain is vikunja.example.com
• The entrypoint you want to make vikunja available from is called https
• The tls cert resolver is called acme

{{< highlight yaml >}} version: '3'

Example with traefik 1

This example assumes traefik in version 1 installed and configured to use docker as a configuration provider.

{{< highlight yaml >}} version: '3'

services: api: image: vikunja/api environment: VIKUNJA_DATABASE_HOST: db VIKUNJA_DATABASE_PASSWORD: supersecret VIKUNJA_DATABASE_TYPE: mysql VIKUNJA_DATABASE_USER: vikunja VIKUNJA_DATABASE_DATABASE: vikunja volumes: - ./files:/app/vikunja/files networks: - web - default depends_on: - db restart: unless-stopped labels: - "traefik.docker.network=web" - "traefik.enable=true" - "traefik.frontend.rule=Host:vikunja.example.com;PathPrefix:/api/v1,/dav/,/.well-known" - "traefik.port=3456" - "traefik.protocol=http" frontend: image: vikunja/frontend labels: - "traefik.docker.network=web" - "traefik.enable=true" - "traefik.frontend.rule=Host:vikunja.example.com;PathPrefix:/" - "traefik.port=80" - "traefik.protocol=http" networks: - web - default restart: unless-stopped db: image: mariadb:10 command: --character-set-server=utf8mb4 --collation-server=utf8mb4_unicode_ci environment: MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: supersupersecret MYSQL_USER: vikunja MYSQL_PASSWORD: supersecret MYSQL_DATABASE: vikunja volumes: - ./db:/var/lib/mysql restart: unless-stopped command: --max-connections=1000

Example with nginx as proxy

You'll need to save this nginx configuration on your host under nginx.conf (or elsewhere, but then you'd need to adjust the proxy mount at the bottom of the compose file):

{{< highlight conf >}} server { listen 80;

location / {
    proxy_pass http://frontend:80;
}

location ~* ^/(api|dav|\.well-known)/ {
    proxy_pass http://api:3456;
    client_max_body_size 20M;
}

} {{< /highlight >}}

NOTE: If you change the max upload size in Vikunja's settings, you'll need to also change the client_max_body_size in the nginx proxy config.

docker-compose.yml config:

{{< highlight yaml >}} version: '3'

services: db: image: mariadb:10 command: --character-set-server=utf8mb4 --collation-server=utf8mb4_unicode_ci environment: MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: supersecret MYSQL_DATABASE: vikunja volumes: - ./db:/var/lib/mysql restart: unless-stopped api: image: vikunja/api environment: VIKUNJA_DATABASE_HOST: db VIKUNJA_DATABASE_PASSWORD: supersecret VIKUNJA_DATABASE_TYPE: mysql VIKUNJA_DATABASE_USER: root VIKUNJA_DATABASE_DATABASE: vikunja volumes: - ./files:/app/vikunja/files depends_on: - db restart: unless-stopped frontend: image: vikunja/frontend restart: unless-stopped proxy: image: nginx ports: - 80:80 volumes: - ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:ro depends_on: - api - frontend restart: unless-stopped {{< /highlight >}}

Example with Caddy v2 as proxy

You will need the following Caddyfile on your host (or elsewhere, but then you'd need to adjust the proxy mount at the bottom of the compose file):

{{< highlight conf >}} vikunja.example.com { reverse_proxy /api/* api:3456 reverse_proxy /.well-known/* api:3456 reverse_proxy /dav/* api:3456 reverse_proxy frontend:80 } {{< /highlight >}}

docker-compose.yml config:

{{< highlight yaml >}} version: '3'
