Prepare your system

Before running Jacker stack you must acomplish some tasks to make it work.

Step 1: Create DNS Records

I reccomend you to use any subdomain for platform management purposes. This is not the domain you are serving webpages, blogs or any internet service but an access to all the applications and tools we will use to manage our docker infrastructure.

We will create two DNS records that point to our host. One of type A with our WAN_IP and a second one of type CNAME that will point all subdomains to our host.

This way we won't have to worry about adding new services to our docker stack and they will work automatically:

Type Name Content
A mybox.example.com WAN_IP
CNAME *.mybox.example.com mybox.example.com

Step 2: Configure Google OAuth2 Service

All our OAuth protected services will be hosted under our newly created DNS records, for example: https://traefik.mybox.example.com.

We will create a google project that will contain our Credentials and Web App Consent Screen and Credentials for OAuth client ID.

Step 2.1: Create Google Project
