Hostinger (managed-Traefik) deployment

Deploy Dograh where a shared, managed Traefik with Let's Encrypt already terminates TLS and routes ingress — e.g. Hostinger's VPS Docker Manager. The same files work on any host that fronts containers with Traefik.

Files

File	Role	Deploy on Hostinger?
docker-compose.yaml	The Dograh app stack. Single self-contained file — named volumes only, no host bind-mounts, no init/sidecar that reads files outside the compose.	✅ Yes
.env.example	Required + optional environment variables, with guidance. Copy to .env and fill in.	✅ Yes (as the env template)
docker-compose.traefik.yaml	A standalone Traefik + Let's Encrypt that stands in for the managed Traefik, so you can reproduce the environment on a plain VPS for testing. Also documents what the platform's Traefik must provide.	❌ No — reference only

What the app stack needs from Traefik

Routing is declared with Traefik labels on ui, api, and minio: /api/v1 → api (includes the signaling WebSocket), /voice-audio → minio, everything else → ui. For that to work the platform's Traefik must offer:

• an HTTPS entrypoint — set TRAEFIK_ENTRYPOINT (e.g. websecure)
• a Let's Encrypt certresolver — set TRAEFIK_CERTRESOLVER
• the Docker provider watching a shared network — set TRAEFIK_NETWORK
• a long idleTimeout so long-lived signaling WebSockets aren't cut
• (recommended) a global HTTP→HTTPS redirect

Traefik upgrades WebSockets automatically — no special label is required.

WebRTC media (coturn) is NOT proxied by Traefik

Voice audio is UDP (ICE/DTLS-SRTP), relayed by the bundled coturn. A reverse proxy cannot carry it. coturn publishes host ports that must be open in the VPS firewall: UDP+TCP 3478 and 5349, and UDP 49152-49200. TURN_HOST must be the public IP (or a domain resolving to it). Without this, calls connect (signaling succeeds) but have no audio.

Deploy on Hostinger

The platform provides Traefik, so you only deploy the app stack:

1. Copy .env.example → .env and fill in PUBLIC_HOST, TURN_HOST, the secrets, and the three TRAEFIK_* values (matched to Hostinger's Traefik).
2. Import / deploy docker-compose.yaml.
3. Ensure the coturn UDP/TCP ports above are open in the firewall.

Test on a generic VPS (self-managed stand-in Traefik)

On a box that does not already run Traefik:

cp .env.example .env     # fill in PUBLIC_HOST, TURN_HOST, secrets, ACME_EMAIL
docker network create traefik
docker compose -f docker-compose.traefik.yaml --env-file .env up -d   # stand-in Traefik
docker compose --env-file .env up -d                                  # app stack

A no-cost trick for a real cert without owning a domain: set PUBLIC_HOST=<public-ip>.sslip.io (sslip.io resolves any embedded IP), which Let's Encrypt will happily issue for.
