Valet.finance Website Docker Setup

Quick Start

Option 1: Using Docker Compose (Recommended)

# Build and run the container
docker-compose up -d

# View logs
docker-compose logs -f

# Stop the container
docker-compose down

Option 2: Using Docker directly

# Build the image
docker build -t valet-website .

# Run the container
docker run -d -p 80:80 --name valet-website valet-website

# View logs
docker logs valet-website

# Stop and remove the container
docker stop valet-website
docker rm valet-website

Accessing the Website

• Local development: http://localhost
• Production: Configure your domain to point to the server

Production Considerations

SSL/HTTPS Setup

For production, you'll want to add SSL. You can:

1. Use a reverse proxy like Cloudflare
2. Add nginx-proxy with Let's Encrypt (uncomment lines in docker-compose.yml)
3. Use a load balancer with SSL termination

Environment Variables

# Set custom port
docker run -d -p 8080:80 --name valet-website valet-website

Health Checks

The docker-compose.yml includes a health check that ensures nginx is responding.

Building for Different Architectures

# Build for ARM64 (Apple Silicon, ARM servers)
docker buildx build --platform linux/arm64 -t valet-website .

# Build for multiple architectures
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 -t valet-website .

Troubleshooting

Check if container is running

docker ps

View container logs

docker logs valet-website

Access container shell

docker exec -it valet-website sh

Check nginx configuration

docker exec valet-website nginx -t
