How to create Edge Agent with Nginx and Cloudflare ?
I have two oracle server, master
and agent
. Both of them are using Ubuntu 22.04
. Now I want to use master server's portainer to manage docker of agent server.
First, I use Cloudflare to manage my domain, for example, mydomain.com
, and my SSL/TLS encryption mode is Full (Strict)
, that means I've my own public-key, private-key and origin-pull-ca. The portainer.myadmin.com
is for portainer on master server. Image-Cloudflare
The following statement is on Master
server:
-
I use docker-compose to create Nginx server via
Nginx Proxy Manager
andportainer
Nginx Proxy Manager
version: '3.8' services: npm: image: jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest restart: unless-stopped ports: - 80:80 - 443:443 volumes: - ./data:/data - ./letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt healthcheck: test: ['CMD', '/bin/check-health'] interval: 10s timeout: 3s networks: default: external: true name: scoobydoo
Portainer
version: '3.8' services: portainer: image: portainer/portainer-ce:latest container_name: portainer privileged: true restart: always security_opt: - no-new-privileges:true volumes: - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro - ./portainer-data:/data networks: default: external: true name: scoobydoo
2. I use UFW
on master and agent server for manage firewall, the following log is UFW
rule on Master server
UFW
Status: active To Action From -- ------ ---- OpenSSH ALLOW Anywhere 80/tcp ALLOW Anywhere 443/tcp ALLOW Anywhere OpenSSH (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) 80/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) 443/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
3. I've created the reverse proxy via Nginx Proxy Manager
for Portainer
on master server
Now, the following statement is on Agent
server:
-
docker-compose for
portainer_edge_agent
version: '3.8' services: portainer_edge_agent: image: portainer/agent:latest container_name: portainer_edge_agent restart: always volumes: - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock - /var/lib/docker/volumes:/var/lib/docker/volumes - /:/host - portainer_agent_data:/data environment: - EDGE=1 - EDGE_ID=##### - EDGE_KEY=##### - EDGE_INSECURE_POLL=1 volumes: portainer_agent_data:
2. UFW
UFW
Status: active To Action From -- ------ ---- OpenSSH ALLOW Anywhere OpenSSH (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
