Script Categories

Setup Scripts

All setup scripts follow the naming convention setup<Application>.sh:

• setupWordpress.sh <domain> <customerName> - WordPress with MySQL
• setupMysql.sh <password> - Standalone MySQL server
• setupPortainer.sh - Portainer management interface
• setupPiHole.sh - Pi-hole ad blocker
• setupRedmineSQLite3.sh <domain> - Redmine with SQLite

Management Scripts

• cleanNetwork.sh <customerName> - Remove customer networks
• removeContainer.sh <containerName> - Stop and remove containers
• cleanUp.sh <domain> - Clean up by domain
• startAllContainers.sh <containerFile> - Bulk container startup

Utility Scripts

• console.sh <containerID> <command> - Execute commands in containers
• createDB.sh <user> <database> - Create MySQL databases
• listDomains.sh - List active domains
• setupHosts.sh <hostname> - Add entries to /etc/hosts

Backup & Restore

• backupAll.sh <containerFile> - Backup multiple containers
• dockerBackup.sh <container> - Backup single container
• dockerRestore.sh <container> - Restore container from backup

Usage Examples

WordPress Deployment

./setupWordpress.sh example.com customer1

Creates:

• Customer-specific Docker network
• MySQL container with generated password
• WordPress container linked to MySQL
• Domain configuration for reverse proxy

Database Setup

./setupMysql.sh mySecurePassword

Container Management

./removeContainer.sh customer1-wordpress
./cleanNetwork.sh customer1

Backup Operations

./dockerBackup.sh customer1-wordpress
./backupAll.sh container_list.txt

Network Architecture

Scripts automatically create isolated networks for multi-container applications:

• Customer-specific networks (e.g., customer1-wordpress-net)
• Secure inter-container communication
• External access via reverse proxy

Security Features

• Generated Passwords: Automatic secure password generation
• Network Isolation: Containers run in isolated networks
• Access Control: Domain-based access restrictions
• No Hardcoded Credentials: Passwords generated at runtime

Prerequisites

• Docker installed and running
• Sufficient permissions for Docker operations
• pwgen for password generation (WordPress setup)
• dialog for interactive menus

Configuration

Port Management

Scripts automatically detect port conflicts and adjust:

• MySQL: Defaults to 3306, falls back to 3307 if occupied
• Applications: Configurable port mapping

Domain Setup

Most web applications support virtual host configuration for reverse proxy setups.

Contributing

When adding new setup scripts:

1. Follow the naming convention setup<Application>.sh
2. Include syntax validation and help text
3. Use consistent variable naming
4. Add error handling for missing parameters
5. Update the menu system accordingly
