Running a Production Dockerized Self-Hosted Stack with Traefik & SSL
Deploy self-hosted apps (Nextcloud, Ghost, Analytics, Vaultwarden) securely using Docker Compose, automated Let's Encrypt SSL, and Traefik reverse proxying.
Self-hosting eliminates vendor lock-in and protects data sovereignty. By pairing a high-IOPS NVMe VPS with Docker and Traefik, you get a zero-maintenance micro-PaaS.
Install Official Docker Engine and Docker Compose
Set up Docker official repositories for Ubuntu/Debian to ensure automated security patches.
Create Docker Network and Traefik Compose File
Traefik intercepts inbound traffic, obtains ACME TLS certificates automatically, and routes traffic via container labels.
Launch Self-Hosted Services with One Command
Define your services in docker-compose.yml and start them in detached mode.
Automate Daily Backups via NodexVPS API Snapshots
Schedule automated daily volume snapshots through the NodexVPS dashboard or cron cURL script for disaster recovery.
