SUI Docker Container Revisited

docker-SUI

docker-SUI

A startpage for your server and / or new tab page

sui

Creates a Container which runs jeroenpardon’s sui, with lsiobase/nginx as the base image, as seen on https://imgur.com/a/FDVRIyw.

The lsiobase/nginx image is a custom base image built with Alpine linux and S6 overlay.
Using this image allows us to use the same user/group ids in the container as on the host, making file transfers much easier

Deployment

Pre-built images

version: '3.6'
services:
  sui:
    container_name: sui
    image: griefed/sui
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./path/to/config:/config
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin
      - PUID=1000  # User ID
      - PGID=1000  # Group ID
      - DOMAIN=www.example.com
      - PROTOCOL=https
    ports:
      - 80:80
      - 443:443

Raspberry Pi

To run this container on a Raspberry Pi, use the arm-tag. I’ve tested it on a Raspberry Pi 3B.

Configuration

ConfigurationExplanation
Restart policy“no”, always, on-failure, unless-stopped
config volumeContains config files and logs.
data volumeContains your/the containers important data.
TZTimezone
PUIDfor UserID
PGIDfor GroupID
DOMAINThe address of the device this container is running on. Can be an IP or sub.domain.tld.
PROTOCOLThe protocol used to access this container. Either HTTP or HTTPS.
portsThe port where the service will be available at.

User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes, permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. Linuxserver.io avoids this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

Building the image yourself

Use the Dockerfile to build the image yourself, in case you want to make any changes to it

docker-compose.yml

version: '3.6'
services:
  sui:
    container_name: sui
    build: ./docker-SUI/
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./path/to/config/files:/config
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin
      - PUID=1000  # User ID
      - PGID=1000  # Group ID
      - DOMAIN=www.example.com
      - PROTOCOL=https
    ports:
      - 8080:80
      - 443:443
  1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/Griefed/docker-SUI.git ./docker-SUI
  2. Prepare docker-compose.yml file as seen above
  3. docker-compose up -d --build sui
  4. Visit IP.ADDRESS.OF.HOST:8080
  5. ???
  6. Profit!
