Project Manager

The ProjectManager is a tool for managing multiple PocketBase instances. It is an easy-to-use web interface for creating, editing and deleting PocketBase instances.

Features

• Automatic Docker configuration
• Automatic DNS Mapping
• Automatic SSL configuration using NginxProxyManager
• Multiple languages
• Own domains
• Export / import projects

Installation

The installation is done using a Docker-Compose file. Two containers, one for the backend and one for the frontend, are started here. The default configuration looks like this:

version: '3.0'
services:
  frontend:
    image: ghcr.io/leonhoppe/projectmanager/frontend:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - BACKEND=https://api.example.com
    ports:
      - '4220:4000'

  backend:
    image: ghcr.io/leonhoppe/projectmanager/backend:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - FRONTEND=https://example.com
      - GENERAL__DATABASE=server=1.2.3.4;database=ProjectManager;user=ProjectManager;password=changeMe
      - GENERAL__ROOT=/projects/
      - PROXY__ENABLE=true
      - PROXY__URL=https://proxy.example.com
      - PROXY__EMAIL=admin@example.com
      - PROXY__PASSWORD=changeMe
      - PROXY__DOMAIN=api.example.com
      - PROXY__HOST=1.2.3.4
    ports:
      - '4221:80'
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock

Environment variables

Variable	Bedeutung
BACKEND	The backend url
FRONTEND	The frontend url
GENERAL__DATABASE	The MySql connection string
GENERAL__ROOT	Folder on the host system for storing the PocketBase files
PROXY__ENABLE	Enables built-in SSL encryption with NginxProxyManager
PROXY__URL	The URL for the NginxProxyManager web interface
PROXY__EMAIL	Email address for an admin user of NginxProxyManager
PROXY__PASSWORD	Password for an admin user of NginxProxyManager
PROXY__DOMAIN	Standard domain for PocketBase instances ([id].api.example.com)
PROXY__HOST	Server host address (for the reverse proxy)

Edit source code and create Docker images yourself

If you want to edit the source code yourself, it is of course available to you. To use the backend in debug mode you should use a appsettings.Development.json file in the main directory to create the appropriate configuration for the development environment. For debugging I recommend npm run dev:ssr to start the frontend and dotnet run to start the backend. Unless you're done with the edits there is a docker-compose.example.yml file in the repository that automatically rebuilds the source code and starts the containers. Alternatively, you can build them yourself with docker build.
