Component	Installation Guide
Docker	https://docs.docker.com/
Docker Compose	https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/

Deploying Tiledesk Community

1. Download Tiledesk with:

   curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tiledesk/tiledesk-deployment/master/docker-compose/docker-compose.yml --output docker-compose.yml
   

2. Run with:

   docker-compose up
   

3. Open the following URL in your browser to start

4. http://localhost:8081/

5. Signin as admin with :
   • email: admin@tiledesk.com
   • password: superadmin

Tips & Troubleshooting

• If you have a public ip specify it in the EXTERNAL_BASE_URL and EXTERNAL_MQTT_BASE_URL env parameters as follow: EXTERNAL_BASE_URL="http://99.88.77.66:8081" EXTERNAL_MQTT_BASE_URL="ws://99.88.77.66:8081" docker-compose up
• Make sure that exposed ports are open on your host. Check the docker-compose.yml file to determine the exposed ports - refer to the host:container port definitions. You’ll see they include 3000, 4200, 4500, 8082, 8004, 8081 and 5672,15672,1883,15675 for rabbitmq and 27017 for mongodb. Use for example sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN linux command to check the ports are unused when Tiledesk is stopped.

Run in background

To start Tiledesk in background: docker-compose up -d. If you want to see the log: docker-compose logs -t -f --tail 5

Run the lastest nightly build release

Run the lastest nightly build Tiledesk release with: docker-compose -f docker-compose-latest.yml up

Setting up a custom domain

You can configure a custom domain to access to you installation (Ex http://mydomain.com) using an NGINX web server as a reverse proxy .

sudo apt-get install nginx
cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
nano mydomain.com.conf

Use the following Nginx config after replacing the mydomain.com in server_name .

map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
        default upgrade;
        '' close;
}
server {
        listen 80;
        server_name mydomain.com;
        location / {
                proxy_pass http://localhost:8081;
                proxy_http_version 1.1;
                proxy_set_header        Upgrade $http_upgrade;
                proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
        }
}

Verify and reload your Nginx config by running the following command.

nginx -t
sudo service nginx restart

Run Tiledesk with the custom domain:

EXTERNAL_BASE_URL="http://mydomain.com" EXTERNAL_MQTT_BASE_URL="ws://mydomain.com" docker-compose up

Your installation should be accessible from the http://mydomain.com now.

Add HTTPS

You can configure HTTPS using Let’s Encrypt.

apt  install certbot
apt-get install python3-certbot-nginx
certbot --nginx -d mydomain.com

Run Tiledesk with HTTPS :

EXTERNAL_BASE_URL="https://mydomain.com" EXTERNAL_MQTT_BASE_URL="wss://mydomain.com" docker-compose up

Attention you must specify https in the EXTERNAL_BASE_URL and wss in the EXTERNAL_MQTT_BASE_URL env variables.

Your installation should be accessible from the https://mydomain.com now.
