This repo contains example of docker-compose that can be used to launch self-hosted Alnoda workspaces with docker compose.

To start Alnoda workspace on a cloud server with basic authentication over https with self-signed certificate:

• Make sure server has docker and docker compose
• Make sure ports 8020 - 8040 are not blocked by the firewall. For example in Ubuntu/Debian

ufw allow 8020:8040/tcp

• Clone repository

git clone https://github.com/bluxmit/wrk-compose.git
cd wrk-compose

• Set environmental variable WRK_HOST - public server IP which allows access over the Internet, i.e.

export WRK_HOST=34.194.12

• start workspace

cd basic-auth-https; docker-compose up -d

Now you can open browser on https://[WRK_HOST]:8020

By default latest base Alnoda workspace will run.

You can start another worksppace with evironmental variable WRK_IMAGE, for example

export WRK_IMAGE='alnoda/codeserver-workspace:5.0'

the default authentication is

• user: admin
• password: admin

You can create new login workspace with htpasswd.

You can install htpasswd in any of the alnoda workspaces with

sudo apt-get install apache2-utils -y

To create new user:password pair:

echo $(htpasswd -nB <userName>) | sed -e s/\\$/\\$\\$/g

where - is the name of your user.

Enter password on prompt and htpasswd wil produce credentials, for example someuser:$$2y$$05$$t2MSJSPp2V9HdLWYq9z.UeYFz2R3un9ZuiBitSjeiN3Osz6fGNZ7u

You can use to replace in the respective docker-compose yaml file the label of a traefik service traefik.http.middlewares.basic-auth.basicauth.users=admin:$$2y$$05$$eub6CV.CwUYCCQjNBvSf5uZnzdRmVwGZ/ncxecb9O7WxCR8aLuM3K.

Using HTTP to run workspaces on a remote server lacks sufficient security, as it's not encrypted like HTTPS. This method should be avoided unless you're operating workspaces within an internal network.

You start Alnoda workspace on a cloud server with basic authentication over http use another docker-compose file:

cd basic-auth-http; docker-compose up -d

Now you can open browser on http://[WRK_HOST]:8020
