Kanboard Requirements
Ingredients
Already deployed:
- Docker swarm cluster with persistent shared storage
- Traefik configured per design
- DNS entry for the hostname you intend to use (or a wildcard), pointed to your keepalived IP
Related:
- Traefik Forward Auth or Authelia to secure your Traefik-exposed services with an additional layer of authentication
Preparation
Setup data locations
Create the location for the bind-mount of the application data, so that it's persistent:
mkdir -p /var/data/kanboard
Kanboard Docker Swarm config
Create a docker swarm config file in docker-compose syntax (v3), something like the example below:
Fast-track with premix! π
"Premix" is a git repository which includes necessary docker-compose and env files for all published recipes. This means that you can launch any recipe with just a git pull and a docker stack deploy π.
π Update: Premix now includes an ansible playbook, enabling you to deploy an entire stack + recipes, with a single ansible command! (more here)
