Preparation

Setup data locations

Create the location for the bind-mount of the application data, so that it's persistent:

mkdir -p /var/data/kanboard

Setup Docker Swarm

Create a docker swarm config file in docker-compose syntax (v3), something like this:

--8<-- "premix-cta.md"

version: '3'

services:
  kanboard:
    image: kanboard/kanboard
    volumes:
     - /var/data/kanboard:/var/www/app/
    networks:
      - traefik_public
    deploy:
      labels:
        # traefik common
        - traefik.enable=true
        - traefik.docker.network=traefik_public

        # traefikv1
        - traefik.frontend.rule=Host:kanboard.example.com
        - traefik.port=80     

        # traefikv2
        - "traefik.http.routers.kanboard.rule=Host(`kanboard.example.com`)"
        - "traefik.http.services.kanboard.loadbalancer.server.port=80"
        - "traefik.enable=true"

networks:
  traefik_public:
    external: true

Serving

Launch Kanboard stack

Launch the Kanboard stack by running docker stack deploy kanboard -c <path -to-docker-compose.yml>

Log into your new instance at https://YOUR-FQDN. Default credentials are admin/admin, after which you can change (under 'profile') and add more users.
