Services Configuration Guide

This section focuses on configuring the Docker services that will run in your homelab: getHomepage for your dashboard, Media Stack for streaming services, and Traefik for reverse proxy and SSL management.

getHomepage Configuration

/docker/homepage/

No edits are needed in the homepage folder. If you’d like to use an existing configuration, you can extract the archive, add your files, and re-archive it. Alternatively, after deployment, configurations will be available in the VM under /home/homepage/.

Media Stack Configuration

/docker/media-stack/

To ensure the Media Stack services are accessible within your network, update the DNS values in the labels section of the media_stack configuration. Focus on the "rule=Host" entries, where you need to replace the example DNS values with your own domain or DNS configuration from your local DNS server (e.g., Pi-hole, Unbound, Technitium).

For example:

1
- "traefik.http.routers.jellyseer-media.rule=Host(`jellyseer.local`)"

Replace jellyseer.local with your custom domain:

1
- "traefik.http.routers.jellyseer-media.rule=Host(`jellyseer.merox.cloud`)"

This ensures the services are accessible at jellyseer.merox.cloud or any domain configured in your environment.

Traefik Configuration

V1: Return to this step after deployment is complete (config will be in /home/traefik on the deployed machine).
V2: Extract the archive, edit as shown below, and re-archive.

docker-compose.yaml

Update all instances of yourdomain.com to your actual domain. Ensure this change is made in all four occurrences.
Provider used: Cloudflare.

.env

This hidden file contains credentials for the Traefik dashboard. Default credentials:

• Username: user
• Password: password

Edit these if needed.

data/config.yml

Optional file for adding services outside Docker (e.g., your Proxmox IP for SSL access at proxmox.mydomain.com).

data/traefik.yml

Replace [email protected] with your Cloudflare email.

Post-Configuration Step

Start the container manually:

/usr/local/bin/docker-compose up &
