foundryvtt-docker VS Heimdall

Also using the felddy/FoundryVTT, nginx reverse-proxy, and lets-encrypt companion Docker containers.

I already have docker set up for Nextcloud, so threw on this guy, hooking into my existing reverse proxy+letsencrypt https://hub.docker.com/r/felddy/foundryvtt

What can you do 1. Set the default game world in Foundry configuration, that way you won't have to bother with selecting it after restart 2. The docker image has a healthcheck defined, but to my knowledge only Swarm makes use of it, every other orchestrator requires this to be defined separately. Look into azure docs to see how to define it. Have it test the whatever-is-your-url/api/status, compare the script here - this will auto restart the container if it hangs

I'll link to the github discussion I opened, rather than copy/pasting it all here: https://github.com/felddy/foundryvtt-docker/discussions/676

I'm getting ready to run a campaign for some friends using Foundry. To do this I'm running Foundry in a Docker container (https://hub.docker.com/r/felddy/foundryvtt) running on a NUC at my house. I then use NAT to forward the required ports through my firewall so the other players can access it. It sounds more complex than it really is, and I'd be happy to answer any followup questions!

The use-case is as follows; I'm hosting Foundry Virtual Tabletop in a docker container on my NAS for a friend. He does all of his prep work using the copy of Foundry VTT on his personal computer, and then uploads to the NAS using Filebrowser, which I have also set up in a docker container, giving him only access to the Foundry VTT data directory and subdirectories.

I am using this docker image: https://github.com/felddy/foundryvtt-docker I'm getting this error in the console `WebSocket connection to 'wss://foundry.****/socket.io/?session=***&EIO=4&transport=websocket' failed: WebSocket is closed before the connection is established.`

I also run a minecraft server or two from time to time, and three separate instances of Foundry Virtual Tabletop for friends.

I used Mark Feldhousen's foundryvtt-docker docker image for the foundry server, using docker compose: https://github.com/felddy/foundryvtt-docker

The control panel is called Homepage. I like it more than Heimdall. To manage Docker I use Portainer.

You don't need to use heimdall with docker. You just need a working web server with PHP then install it from source: https://github.com/linuxserver/Heimdall Instructions are in the readme.

I prefer using Heimdall

There is a 3.x branch, but it hasn't been touched in about a year. Contrast that to the 2.x branch which was updated within the last week. Seems maybe there isn't any development on the 3.x branch.

Fo example, Heimdall is a dashboard, a polygon validator node, and an Android firmware flasher. All of which are quite popular projects

Heimdall - A homepage for self-hosted applications (like 'Homepage', but for people who prefer to do the config in the application, rather than editing .yaml files)

There is a more straightforward solution if it's all just for internal links. Set up something like heimdal. https://github.com/linuxserver/Heimdall

Dispute configure heimdall correctly for your domain? There is a github issue about this: https://github.com/linuxserver/Heimdall/issues/362
