imagegenius/maintenance

Maintenance is a minimal nginx docker image with a soul purpose to be a maintenance page for when your main webserver is down

Supported Architectures

We use Docker manifest for cross-platform compatibility. More details can be found on Docker's website.

To obtain the appropriate image for your architecture, simply pull ghcr.io/imagegenius/maintenance:latest. Alternatively, you can also obtain specific architecture images by using tags.

This image supports the following architectures:

Application Setup

This image probably does not work anymore, use with caution. or open an issue/pr

Barebones Nginx server made to be a maintenance page for when your SWAG container is down or backing up. Theoretically, when you stop your SWAG container and spin this one up, it should just work. When you startup this image it will attempt to migrate from SWAG, and it works for me so whatever. You may need to change some settings in your configs for Nginx to start successfully. There is also a standalone mode if you do not have SWAG.

If you have important proxy-confs, such as Home Assistant that you need to have 24/7 uptime, add proxy-confs/homeassistant.<subdomain/subfolder>.conf to /config/includes.txt and it will copy over to the maintenance appdata, and you will be able to access Home Assistant through this container. This works for any proxy config.

Usage

Example snippets to start creating a container:

Docker Compose

---
services:
  maintenance:
    image: ghcr.io/imagegenius/maintenance:latest
    container_name: maintenance
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Etc/UTC
    volumes:
      - path_to_appdata:/config
      - path_to_swag:/swag
    ports:
      - 80:80
      - 443:443
    restart: unless-stopped

Docker CLI (Click here for more info)

docker run -d \
  --name=maintenance \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Etc/UTC \
  -p 80:80 \
  -p 443:443 \
  -v path_to_appdata:/config \
  -v path_to_swag:/swag \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  ghcr.io/imagegenius/maintenance:latest

Parameters

To configure the container, pass variables at runtime using the format <external>:<internal>. For instance, -p 8080:80 exposes port 80 inside the container, making it accessible outside the container via the host's IP on port 8080.

Umask for running applications

All of our images allow overriding the default umask setting for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 option. Note that umask works differently than chmod and subtracts permissions based on its value, not adding. For more information, please refer to the Wikipedia article on umask here.

User / Group Identifiers

To avoid permissions issues when using volumes (-v flags) between the host OS and the container, you can specify the user (PUID) and group (PGID). Make sure that the volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify, and the issues will disappear.

Example: PUID=1000 and PGID=1000. To find your PUID and PGID, run id user.

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

Updating the Container

Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app. We do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Check the Application Setup section for recommendations for the specific image.

Instructions for updating containers:

Via Docker Compose

• Update all images: docker-compose pull
  • or update a single image: docker-compose pull maintenance
• Let compose update all containers as necessary: docker-compose up -d
  • or update a single container: docker-compose up -d maintenance
• You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

Via Docker Run

• Update the image: docker pull ghcr.io/imagegenius/maintenance:latest
• Stop the running container: docker stop maintenance
• Delete the container: docker rm maintenance
• Recreate a new container with the same docker run parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your /config folder and settings will be preserved)
• You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune
