neko-rooms

Simple room management system for n.eko. Self hosted rabb.it alternative.

How to start

You need to have installed Docker and docker-compose. You need to have custom domain pointing to your server's IP.

You can watch installation video provided by Dr R1ck:

Installation guide

You only need .env.example, docker-compose.yml and traefik/.

Do I need to use traefik?

• Traefik needs to be used to forward traffic to the rooms. You can put nginx in front of it, but not replace it.
• Your domain name specified for traefik must match domain name, that your proxy connects to. In docker-compose it is service name.
• See example configuration for nginx.

You can use docker-compose.http.yml that will expose this service to 8080 or any port.

Step 1

Copy .env.example to .env and customize.

cp .env.example .env

Step 2

Create usersfile with your users:

touch traefik/usersfile

And add as many users as you like:

echo $(htpasswd -nb user password) >> traefik/usersfile

Step 3

Create acme.json

touch traefik/acme.json
chmod 600 traefik/acme.json

Update your email in traefik/traefik.yml.

Download images / update

You need to pull all your images, that you want to use with neko-room. Otherwise you might get this error: Error response from daemon: No such image: (see issue #1).

docker pull m1k1o/neko:latest
docker pull m1k1o/neko:chromium
# etc...

If you want to update neko image, you need to pull new image and recreate all rooms, that use old image. To update neko rooms, simpy run:

docker-compose pull
docker-compose up -d

Roadmap:

• add GUI
• add HTTPS support
• add authentication provider for traefik
• allow specifying custom ENV variables (TODO: FE.)
• allow mounting direcotries for persistent data
• add upgrade button
• auto pull images, that do not exist
• add bearer token to for API
• add docker ssh / tcp support
• add docker swarm support
• add k8s support
