### Automatic
#### Exec install shell script for auto installation and configuration
download with
```
git clone https://github.com/damalis/full-stack-proxy-nginx-n8n-for-everyone-with-docker-compose.git
```
Open a terminal and `cd` to the folder in which `docker-compose.yml` is saved and run:
```
cd full-stack-proxy-nginx-n8n-for-everyone-with-docker-compose
chmod +x install.sh
LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 ./install.sh # LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 if not os language english
```
### Manual
#### Requirements
Make sure you have the latest versions of **Docker** and **Docker Compose** installed on your machine.
- [How install docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/)
- [How install docker compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
Clone this repository or copy the files from this repository into a new folder.
Make sure to [add your user to the `docker` group](https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/linux-postinstall/#manage-docker-as-a-non-root-user).
#### Configuration
download with
```
git clone https://github.com/damalis/full-stack-proxy-nginx-n8n-for-everyone-with-docker-compose.git
```
Open a terminal and `cd` to the folder in which `docker-compose.yml` is saved and run:
```
cd full-stack-proxy-nginx-n8n-for-everyone-with-docker-compose
```
Copy the example environment into `.env`
```
cp env.example .env
```
Edit the `.env` file to change values of
|```LOCAL_TIMEZONE```|```DOMAIN_NAME```|```N8N_SUBDOMAIN```|```WEBUI_SUBDOMAIN```|```DIRECTORY_PATH```|```LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL```|
|```DB_USER```|```DB_PASSWORD```|```DB_NAME```|```PGA_CONTROLPASS```|```SSL_SNIPPET```|```WHATSAPP_SUBDOMAIN```|```WHATSAPP_DASHBOARD_USERNAME```|
|```WHATSAPP_DASHBOARD_PASSWORD```|```WHATSAPP_SWAGGER_USERNAME```|```WHATSAPP_SWAGGER_PASSWORD```|

#### Installation
Firstly: will create external volume
```
docker volume create --driver local --opt type=none --opt device=${PWD}/certbot --opt o=bind certbot-etc
```
Localhost ssl: Generate Self-signed SSL Certificate with guide [mkcert repository](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert).
```
docker compose up -d
```
then reloading for proxy ssl configuration
```
docker container restart proxy
```
The containers are now built and running. You should be able to access the n8n installation with the configured IP in the browser address. `https://N8N_SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN_NAME`.
For convenience you may add a new entry into your hosts file.
### Portainer
```
docker compose -f portainer-docker-compose.yml -p portainer up -d
```
manage docker with [Portainer](https://www.portainer.io/) is the definitive container management tool for Docker, Docker Swarm with it's highly intuitive GUI and API.
You can also visit `https://DOMAIN_NAME:9001` to access portainer after starting the containers.
### Usage
#### You could manage docker containers without command line with portainer.
#### Here’s a quick reference of commonly used Docker Compose commands
```
docker ps -a # Lists all containers managed by the compose file
```
```
docker compose start # Starts previously stopped containers
```
```
docker compose stop # Stops all running containers
```
```
docker compose down # Stops and removes containers, networks, etc.
```
```
docker compose down -v # Add --volumes to remove volumes explicitly
```
```
docker rm -f $(docker ps -a -q) # Removes portainer and the other containers
```
```
docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q) # Removes all volumes
```
```
docker network prune # Remove all unused networks
```
```
docker system prune # Removes unused data (containers, networks, images, and optionally volumes)
```
```
docker system prune -a # Removes all unused images, not just dangling ones
```
```
docker rmi $(docker image ls -q) # Removes portainer and the other images
```
```
docker container logs container_name_or_id # Shows logs from all services
```
#### Project from existing source
Copy all files into a new directory:
```
docker compose up -d # Starts services in detached mode (in the background)
```
#### Docker run reference
[https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/compose/](https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/compose/)
#### n8n
[n8n](https://docs.n8n.io/hosting/) This page provides guidance on setting up n8n for both the Enterprise and Community self-hosted editions. The Community edition is free, the Enterprise edition isn't..
#### Mail
Send Email Node;
SMTP account: ```Host: mail; Port: 1025; SSL/TLS: off;```
The authorize screen: |```user: DB_USER```| and |```password: DB_PASSWORD```| in the `.env` file.
#### Database
Postgres account; |```Host: database; Port: 5432; Database: DB_NAME; User: DB_USER; Password: DB_PASSWORD```| in the `.env` file.
#### Datavector
Postgres vector account; |```Host: datavector; Port: 15432; Database: DB_NAME; User: DB_USER; Password: DB_PASSWORD```| in the `.env` file.
#### pgAdmin
You can also visit `https://DOMAIN_NAME:9090`.
The login screen, |```username: LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL``` and ```password: PGA_CONTROLPASS```| in the `.env` file.
You don't see the login page in your browser;\
pgAdmin runs as the pgadmin user (UID: 5050) in the pgadmin group (GID: 5050) in the container.
You must ensure that all files are readable, and where necessary (e.g. the working/session directory) writeable for this user on the host machine.
```sudo chown -R 5050:5050 ./pgadmin``` and/or ```sudo chown -R 5050:5050 ./certbot/live/DOMAIN_NAME```
#### Ollama
Base URL; |```http://ollama:11434```|
Now you can pull a model: ```docker exec -it ollama ollama pull llama3```\
More models can be found on the [https://ollama.com/library](https://ollama.com/library).
#### Open WEBUI
You can also visit `https://WEBUI_SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN_NAME`.
[Environment Variable Configuration](https://docs.openwebui.com/reference/env-configuration)
#### Proxy
Proxying is typically used to distribute the load among several servers, seamlessly show content from different websites, or pass requests for processing to application servers over protocols other than HTTP.
add or remove code in the ```./proxy/templates/proxy.conf.template``` file for custom proxy configurations
[https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/web-server/reverse-proxy/](https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/web-server/reverse-proxy/)
#### Redis
Configuration; |```Host: redis```|
#### WhatsApp
API URL; |```https://WHATSAPP_SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN_NAME```| and API Key; |```WHATSAPP_API_KEY```| in the `.env` file.
You can also visit `https://WHATSAPP_SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN_NAME/dashboard` and swagger page - `https://WHATSAPP_SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN_NAME`.
The authorize screen: |```Username: DB_USER```| and |```Password: DB_PASSWORD```| in the `.env` file.

#### Pipelines
Open WEBUI Manage Configurations `https://WEBUI_SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN_NAME`:
Go to **Admin Panel >> Settings -> Pipelines**.
Select your pipeline and adjust valve values directly from the WebUI.
