harbormaster VS ufw-docker

I use an HP ProLiant Microserver with four drives in a ZFS RAIDZ array and an SSD for the OS. For software, I mostly run it in Docker using a very small container orchestration program I wrote:

https://gitlab.com/stavros/harbormaster

I needed something that would restart containers automatically when I pushed to a branch, so I wrote a few lines of code to do it:

https://gitlab.com/stavros/harbormaster

As far as PaaSes go, it's probably the simplest, and works really well.

I was in the same boat as you and built something simple that I really like:

https://gitlab.com/stavros/harbormaster

It'll just pull some repos, make sure the containers are up, and make your configuration simple and discoverable. It really works great at that.

I do this for our services, it works great and we can easily put SSO in front of them with CF Access. I publish a Docker container that you can use as a sidecar for your Compose deployments:

I use this with Harbormaster (https://gitlab.com/stavros/harbormaster) so I can expose containerized stuff without ever forwarding any ports outside of Docker.

I use Dokku for that (I can share my Bitwarden repo if you want, the entire thing is four lines or something). I also made https://gitlab.com/stavros/harbormaster for things that weren't so "web server -> app -> database" and love it.

I had the same problem and didn't want to manage things by hand, so I wrote Harbormaster:

https://gitlab.com/stavros/harbormaster

It basically pulls Compose apps from the git repositories you specify, builds the containers and makes sure they're running. Pretty simple and works really well for me.

(This post should read "Argo tunnel" instead of just "Argo")

I did the same to enable secure access to services via SSO at work. I used Harbormaster[1] to deploy Compose files, but it's otherwise the same setup.

One of the big advantages this has is that the services can't be accessed any other way (not even from the same host, as they only listen inside the Docker network). That makes it hard to forget some port exposed because you listened to 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost.

Cloudflare access is very easy to set up SSO with, as well. I'd recommend this setup if you need it, though for home usage I usually just set up Caddy as a reverse proxy with basic auth, as I'll be the only person using this and I don't want Cloudflare MITMing my personal stuff.

Something like harbormaster? https://gitlab.com/stavros/harbormaster

I am running ubuntu server 22.04 LTS and have fail2ban running on the host. This works great, no issues and IPs get banned for the rules I have in place. I am using UFW and have updated my after.rules for docker based on the recommendations here.

I use this without problems for Long time, https://github.com/chaifeng/ufw-docker

A solution is known and formed detailed here: https://github.com/chaifeng/ufw-docker

In any case, maybe try to compare the blocked port ranges with the ports you are using. Did you see this https://github.com/chaifeng/ufw-docker

https://github.com/chaifeng/ufw-docker For example.

ufw is nice, when you are on public networks. And very nice if you are playing with SSH-Server, Docker,.. on your notebook. Couse you write coding, I want to add this, if you use docker.

You can use use this for a more manual approach: https://github.com/chaifeng/ufw-docker

Sorry that's about the extent of my docker network knowledge. One other thing you can check though - are you running ufw on the host? If so you can try updating the config with ufw-docker.

Hi! I'm also new to the homelab category, but I have a bit of experience. I'm currently running Ubuntu 22.04, and the only problem what I had is docker containers not working with ufw. (Fix can be found here: https://github.com/chaifeng/ufw-docker) I've been running my stuff in Docker containers, and it worked pretty well for me. So if you are also new to this, I'd definetly recommend Ubuntu for its simplicity. (Also tons of already great tutorials on how to do literally anything)
