Nginx config for docker installation

B-z-F

Hi,
I would like to ask about configuration for cryptpad docker installation.

In the docker-compose.yml file, port 3003 is not enabled, but in the config.js file it is recommended to enable the "websocketPort: 3003" option. Should this option be enabled and added port to docker-compose.yml?

In the sample nginx configuration (example.nginx.conf) there are directories for a classic installation. Is there also documentation describing the changes that need to be made for proxy access to the container?
This will probably be in the root, try_files and locations sections where proxy_pass is not specified.

Thanks

Mathilde

Hello,

Indeed we missed the part dedicated to the new 3003 port, apologies for that. As a temporary workaround you can do the changes made in this pull request and build your own image you can then use with Docker Compose.

Regarding the reverse proxy configuration, we are in the process to review the example file we provide to make it much much more simpler. It will pass everything directly to Node, relying on it even to serve the static files. However, this isn't ready yet, please bear with us!

Have a good day!

Mathilde is there another issue.

root@cryptpad:/cryptpad# netstat -laput

httpPort honor httpAddress ("::") but websocketPort listen only localhost. I can't fetch 3003 port from my nginx container.

Quick update:

We have a very simple Nginx configuration example file ready, everything will be released for 5.5.0. By the end of the month or at the start of October.

And no 3001 listener.

Mathilde

Hello @llaumgui,

The 'localhost' has been fixed as well and will be present in the next release. Regarding the need to serve the 3001 port, do you intend to do development work on CryptPad? It's only needed in that case, otherwise everything can be served to port 3000 directly: https://docs.cryptpad.org/en/dev_guide/general.html#sandbox

Mathilde

@B-z-F we published CryptPad 5.5.0 on GitHub and official images to Docker Hub.

The new basic Nginx example configuration file will make your life much easier as well. 🙂

Nice ! I try that tomorrow. I will adapt for Traefik.

llaumgui

Work fine !

hey llaumgui! care to share your traefik config? I am having problems migrating from promasu's image that included nginx. Getting 502 Bad Gateway from the cryptpad container on port 3000.

thanks in advance!

randkant hey llaumgui! care to share your traefik config? I am having problems migrating from promasu's image that included nginx. Getting 502 Bad Gateway from the cryptpad container on port 3000.

I use Traefik, but I also use the Cryptpad full stack with nginx... I have not migrated to a full traefik implementation whitout nginx. I more I also use "sablier" to stop Cruptpad when I don't use it.

@randkant please create another thread if you need help with Traefik, the solution for CryptPad Docker & Nginx has been found, this thread is now marked as fixed.
