Vikunja on Docker with Caddy labels

Support
1

I’m trying to spin up Vikunja on docker with this caddy container (slightly modified, but this doesn’t matter). It’s using labels to set up reverse proxies and I just can’t figure out how to set up them properly. Can anyone help me with it? As far as I understand this it should work, but frontend can’t connect to the api.

  vikunja_api:
    image: vikunja/api
    environment:
      VIKUNJA_DATABASE_HOST: vikunja_db
      VIKUNJA_DATABASE_PASSWORD: supersecret
      VIKUNJA_DATABASE_TYPE: mysql
      VIKUNJA_DATABASE_USER: root
    volumes:
      - /media/seagate/vikunja/files:/app/vikunja/files
    networks: [caddy, vikunja]
    depends_on: [vikunja_db]
    labels:
      caddy: tasks.some.tld:3456
      caddy.0_reverse_proxy: "/api/* {{upstreams 3456}}"
      caddy.1_reverse_proxy: "/.known-hosts/* {{upstreams 3456}}"
      caddy.2_reverse_proxy: "/dav/* {{upstreams 3456}}"
  vikunja_db:
    image: linuxserver/mariadb
    environment:
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: supersecret
      MYSQL_DATABASE: vikunja
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: supersecret
    volumes:
      - /media/seagate/vikunja/db:/var/lib/mysql
    networks: [vikunja]
  vikunja_fe:
    image: vikunja/frontend
    restart: unless-stopped
    networks: [caddy, vikunja]
    labels:
      caddy: tasks.some.tld
      caddy.3_reverse_proxy: "{{upstreams 80}}"

Can you reach the api at tasks.some.tld:3456/api/v1/info?

I can reach it via curl after prefixing url in docker-compose.yml with http://, nonetheless frontend still can’t access it

As I can see in the dev tools when trying to change api it’s trying to connect api:3456 instead of http://tasks.some.tld:3456 should it be like that?

okay, somehow adding https:// prefix instead of http:// fixed the issue. Thanks for trying to help!

Nope that shouldn’t be the case.

Glad you figured it out!

There’s some docs about running with caddy at Full docker example | Vikunja
Do you want to send a PR to add the configuration with caddy lables?

I’ll definetly add it to my to-do list. I’ll probably do it at the end of the month, because I don’t have enough time to write it now.
