Local Blumilk Traefik environment

This repo contains default Blumilk Traefik configuration for local development environment.

Requirements

---

• Linux system
• one free port on host system (default 301)
• Docker
• Docker Compose (version 2)
• Taskfile (min. version 3.42.1)

Installation

---

Taskfile setup

Linux

If you don't have Task binary installed, you can install it by running command below.
If you don't want to install to /usr/local/bin (dir for all users in the system) change -b flag value.
Be sure that provided path is in system $PATH, that binary will be available in the terminal. To check system paths type $PATH in the terminal.

sudo sh -c "$(curl --location https://taskfile.dev/install.sh)" -- -d -b /usr/local/bin v3.42.1

-b sets bindir or installation directory, Defaults to ./bin
-d turns on debug logging

Task commands

To list all task commands just run:

task

Project initialization

Before first use, project has to be initialized.

First, prepare .env file

cp .env.example .env

By default .env file is ready to go, and prepared for Blumilk local environment purposes. So no changes are needed.
But if you need to customize it, just edit .env file.
Project is flexible and all important settings are customizable via .env file.

Docker network

By default, project uses 172.31.0.0/16 network subnet and requires 172.31.100.100 (Traefik) and 172.31.200.200 (Dnsmasq) IPs.
So if you have allocated this network and IPs, you need to remove it before initialization or change network settings in .env file.

Certificates and domain

By default blumilk.local.env domain will be used.
mkcert generate wildcard certificate for *.blumilk.local.env domains.

Project init

This command will prepare all necessary files and configs based on .env file.

task init

This need to be run only once. This command will create .initialized file.
If you want to re-initialize, run task init --force or remove .initialized file.

WARNING, these files will be replaced during initialization:

• ./traefik/config/static/traefik.yml
• ./traefik/config/dynamic/certificates.yml
• ./portainer/portainer-admin-password-file - if Portainer has been created, changing password in this file won't change admin password. To change password you need to remove portainer container, volume and recreate it or check Portianer docs
• ./dns/dnsmasq/dnsmasq.d/blumilk-local-environment.conf
• ./dns/systemd/resolved.conf.d/blumilk-local-environment.conf
• .initialized

Usage

To run environment:

task run

Portainer access

By default:
user: admin
password: passwordpassword
dashborad: https://portainer.blumilk.local.env

Traefik access

dashborad: https://traefik.blumilk.local.env

Redirect entry point

Traefik requires one free host port to use redirect entrypoint for localhost hostnames.
By default it is 301 port.
You can customize this host port for this entrypoint in .env file via TRAEFIK_REDIRECT_ENTRYPOINT_HOST_PORT. \

If project has been initialized already, and you changed this value, you need to initialize project again or update regex key in middlewares.yml file manually.

This entrypoint redirect permanent (301 HTTP code) to the part after /.
Example:

http://localhost:301/https://blumilk.pl

will be redirected to https://blumilk.pl.

It is created to handle OAuth2 providers redirects URI (e.g. Google OAuth web app clients). Because you can use only localhost, example.com or real TLD domain.
This allows us to use custom domains (e.g. my-app.blumilk.local.env) and OAuth locally. \

For example, redirect URI will be: http://localhost:301/https://my-app.blumilk.local.env/something

Certificates

We're using mkcert to generate self-signed certificates to support https in local development.
These certificates will cover a local domain *.blumilk.local.env.

Keep in mind that X.509 wildcard certificates only go one level deep.
So a domain a.blumilk.local.env is valid but a.b.blumilk.local.env is not.

Certificates will be valid for 2 years.

Additional certificates for other domains/subdomains

By default, all 1st level subdomains under *.blumilk.local.env will be covered. E.g. foo.blumilk.local.env.

If you need to cover 2nd level subdomains under. *.foo.blumilk.local.env, e.g. bar.foo.blumilk.local.env
you have to generate new certs. Adjust filenames and domain for your needs:

task generate-certs \
  CERT_FILENAME=_wildcard.foo.blumilk.local.env.pem \
  KEY_FILENAME=_wildcard.foo.blumilk.local.env-key.pem \
  DOMAIN=*.foo.blumilk.local.env

Then add certificates to ./traefik/config/dynamic/certificates.yml file:

    - certFile: /certs/_wildcard.foo.blumilk.local.env.pem
      keyFile: /certs/_wildcard.foo.blumilk.local.env-key.pem

And restart Traefik (task restart)

HTTPS in containers

If you need to call any *.blumilk.local.env subdomains via https from container, you have to add mkcert CA cert to the docker container.

To do it run container from which you want to send requests via https.
Use container name or ID.

task copy-ca-cert-to-container CONTAINER_NAME=your-container-name

Now you will be able to send requests via https to *.blumilk.local.env domains or others generated via mkcert.

Reload systemd-resolved configuration

If you changed blumilk-local-environment.conf in ./systemd/resolved.conf.d after project initialization, or want to customize it, run:

task configure-systemd-resolved

It will copy this file to the /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d and restart systemd-resolved.

Using the environment with your project

Detailed instructions on how to use this environment with your project are available here.

Migration from previous version

1. Remove old docker stuff:
   • traefik container (traefik-proxy-blumilk-local-container)
   • traefik network (traefik-proxy-blumilk-local)
2. In projects, you need to update:
   • custom Traefik label from traefik.blumilk.environment to traefik.blumilk.local.environment
   • Traefik network from traefik-proxy-blumilk-local to traefik-proxy-blumilk-local-environment
   • domains from blumilk.localhost to blumilk.local.env
