Installing taiga in portainer & Nginx Proxy Manager

Troubleshooting Self hosted Taiga
1

Hello,

I’m trying to install it from portainer, with the following yml format, its works but all the services have no published ports, and I don’t know how they communicate with each other (I change the name of services using underscore instead of dash, for example from taiga-back to taiga_back).

version: "3.9"

volumes:
  taiga_db_volume:
  taiga_back_static_volume:

Can I install it with this way (portainer to run the compose & nginx proxy manager for handling the traffic) ? or I need to install nginx (taiga-gateway service), and if so what the configuration for nginx to link with these services?

Thanks

hi @wajdyessam welcome to our community!

I’m not portainer user so maybe on this topic another user may help. Regarding containers, they don’t need to expose ports to the host in order to communicate; containers use a network, and communicate thanks to a hostname (which is the service name in a docker-compose environment for instance).

Now, the gateway is an important piece for running Taiga, and it’s the recommended way; that said, you can use just one nginx in the host. You’ll need to craft the configuration yourself using the configuration for this container.

Cheers!

Thanks for quick answer, its works after adding the nginx conf file and use the service name with -.

here the updated yml that works on portainer:
