Cannot install squidex using docker

Hosting (OnPremise)
#1

Hi Seb,

I tried to install Squidex on my local using docker compose.

I followed this tutorial

https://docs.squidex.io/01-getting-started/installation/platforms/install-on-docker

And using docker no proxy file which is https://github.com/Squidex/squidex-hosting/blob/master/docker-compose/docker-compose-noproxy.yml

I just changed squidex mongo image to latest. changed the ports to 8085:80

So the docker looks like

version: '2.3'
services:
  squidex_mongo:
    image: mongo:latest
    volumes:
      - /etc/squidex/mongo/db:/data/db
    networks:
      - internal
    restart: unless-stopped

  squidex_squidex:
    image: "squidex/squidex:5"
    ports:
      - "8085:80"
    environment:
      - URLS__BASEURL=https://${SQUIDEX_DOMAIN}
      - EVENTSTORE__TYPE=MongoDB
      - EVENTSTORE__MONGODB__CONFIGURATION=mongodb://squidex_mongo
      - STORE__MONGODB__CONFIGURATION=mongodb://squidex_mongo
      - IDENTITY__ADMINEMAIL=${SQUIDEX_ADMINEMAIL}
      - IDENTITY__ADMINPASSWORD=${SQUIDEX_ADMINPASSWORD}
      - IDENTITY__GOOGLECLIENT=${SQUIDEX_GOOGLECLIENT}
      - IDENTITY__GOOGLESECRET=${SQUIDEX_GOOGLESECRET}
      - IDENTITY__GITHUBCLIENT=${SQUIDEX_GITHUBCLIENT}
      - IDENTITY__GITHUBSECRET=${SQUIDEX_GITHUBSECRET}
      - IDENTITY__MICROSOFTCLIENT=${SQUIDEX_MICROSOFTCLIENT}
      - IDENTITY__MICROSOFTSECRET=${SQUIDEX_MICROSOFTSECRET}
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://localhost:5000/healthz"]
      start_period: 60s
    depends_on:
      - squidex_mongo
    volumes:
      - /etc/squidex/assets:/app/Assets
    networks:
      - internal
    restart: unless-stopped
    
networks:
  internal:
    driver: bridge

Then I tried to access to https://${SQUIDEX_DOMAIN}:8085 but it does not work.

Could you please help me?

Thanks

For https you need a proxy that accepts https and creates the certificate for you. Either you use the version with caddy, which does it automatically or your configure cloudflare to point to your Squidex instance.

Squidex does not work without https (Chrome!!!) therefore a https reverse proxy is a must.

Hi Sebastian,

Thank you for your reply.

I found that if I use cloud.squidex.io as SQUIDEX_DOMAIN then it is working.

However if I change the SQUIDEX_DOMAIN for example corecms.local.squidex.io to something else the it does not work due to the following problem

Sorry I am not very familiar with Caddy so I think it is better to ask you .

Many thanks
