kadira-compose

This will get open-source Kadira running on a dedicated host, almost fully automatically using docker-compose. Specifically, it includes the following dockers:

• MongoDB server: storing data in /opt/kadira-mongo, and accessible via port 27017
• nginx-proxy: maps ports 80, 443 (SSL), and 22022 (SSL) to kadira-engine's 11011
• letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion: Acquires Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to support https access.
• kadira-engine: This is where Meteor apps send their data. Accessible via http://HOST:11011 or https://HOST:22022.
• kadira-rma: This computes statistics every minute as needed by kadira-ui.
• kadira-ui: Meteor app to present Kadira user interface, accessible via http://HOST:4000.

The Dockerification of open-source Kadira was originally done by Vlad Holubiev, as described in this Meteor forum post. What I've added here is:

• https access to kadira-engine (via nginx-proxy)
• built-in Mongo server instead of relying on an external service like mlab.com
• cron job to clear out old database entries (see below)

Unfortunately, because of the way letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion works, I need ports 80 and 443 to point to kadira-engine instead of kadira-ui. So you need to access the UI via http port 4000.

Configuration

• Expose the following ports on your host:

  • 22 (if you want to ssh in)
  • 80 & 443 (for letsencrypt to work)
  • 4000 (for Kadira UI)
  • 11011 (if your Meteor app uses http)
  • 22022 (if your Meteor app uses https)

• Do not expose port 27017, or else your MongoDB will be vulnerable.

• Install Docker

• Install/download docker-compose

• Clone this repo.

• Edit .env to change HOST and EMAIL environment variables.

• If you want to clear out database of old entries (as recommended here for long-term performance), add the included crontab to your existing crontab, or if you don't have one, just run crontab crontab (on Linux). You may need to edit the path to the included flush-mongo script.

Running

• Launch dockers, and initialize Mongo replica set:

  docker-compose up -d mongo
  docker-compose exec mongo mongo --eval 'rs.initiate({_id:"kadira", members: [{_id: 0, host: "mongo:27017"}]})'
  docker-compose up -d

• Open http://HOST:4000 and login with email admin@gmail.com (initial password admin -- change it immediately in the UI)

• Create your apps

• Upgrade apps to business plan:

  docker-compose exec mongo mongo kadira --eval 'db.apps.update({},{$set:{plan:"business"}},{multi:true})'

• Visit http://HOST:4000 to monitor your apps.

Meteor Setup

If your server is running on https, use the port-22022 endpoint to kadira-engine. For example, add the following line to server/kadira.js:

Kadira.connect(APP_ID, APP_SECRET, {endpoint: 'https://HOST:22022'})

If your server is running on http, use the port-11011 endpoint:

Kadira.connect(APP_ID, APP_SECRET, {endpoint: 'http://HOST:11011'})

Upgrading

LetsEncrypt recently changed protocols which requires upgrading letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion. You can upgrade all of the non-fixed-version dockers as follows:

• docker-compose down: stop all server processes
• docker-compose pull: upgrade dockers to latest versions
• docker-compose up -d: start all server processes
