Summary

  • add an opt-in Docker Compose example that enables Wings' existing automatic TLS support
  • require an explicit hostname, API port, and SFTP port so the published ports match config.yml
  • persist the ACME account and certificate cache across container restarts
  • document DNS, firewall, Cloudflare, and shared-host/reverse-proxy requirements
  • keep the existing Compose workflow unchanged and clarify when a host Certbot mount is needed

Why

Wings already supports --auto-tls and --tls-hostname, but the Docker example only describes mounting certificates generated on the host. This provides a focused, optional Compose workflow without bundling Caddy or forcing automatic TLS on existing deployments.

Port 80 remains reserved for the ACME HTTP-01 challenge. The Wings API and SFTP ports are configurable, so nodes using ports such as 443, 8443, or 8080 are supported. Deployments where Panel and Wings share the same public address are directed to terminate TLS at the shared reverse proxy instead.

Validation

  • go test ./...
  • built the Wings image successfully with Docker Desktop
  • rendered the existing Compose example successfully
  • rendered the automatic TLS example with API ports 443, 8443, and 8080
  • confirmed missing hostname/API/SFTP variables fail with clear Compose errors
  • issued a real Let's Encrypt certificate on a public development node
  • verified the certificate hostname/SAN and persistent ACME cache
  • verified HTTPS over IPv4 and IPv6
  • verified SFTP reachability
  • verified the cached certificate remains unchanged across container restarts
  • verified the same certificate and Wings API work on non-standard port 8443

Closes #81

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added an opt-in Docker Compose setup for automatic TLS certificates through Let’s Encrypt.
    • Added support for exposing HTTP, API, and SFTP ports in the Docker image.
    • Added persistent certificate storage and configurable API and SFTP ports.
    • Added a setup script that validates port configuration and supports environment files before launching the stack.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified SSL certificate volume usage and distinguished host-managed certificates from Wings-managed certificates.

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits within each organization.

For paid Pro and Pro+ reviews, CodeRabbit uses a developer's included PR review attempts over the past 7 days to set the current hourly allowance. At typical activity levels, the full plan allowance applies. Higher sustained activity can lower the allowance until earlier attempts leave the 7-day window.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds an automatic-TLS Docker Compose example for Wings, a port-validation wrapper, shell tests, and CI coverage. The Docker image exposes ports 80, 8080, and 2022. Existing SSL comments distinguish Certbot and Wings-managed certificates.

Changes

Automatic TLS Docker deployment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Automatic TLS Compose configuration
docker-compose.auto-tls.example.yml
Adds automatic-TLS prerequisites, Wings settings, published ports, persistent mounts, and the wings0 bridge network.
Automatic TLS port validation
docker-compose.auto-tls.sh
Parses environment values, validates API and SFTP ports, rejects port 80 and duplicate ports, and runs or checks Docker Compose.
Validation and deployment wiring
scripts/test-docker-compose-auto-tls.sh, .github/workflows/push.yaml
Tests valid and invalid port configurations. CI runs the validation script on Ubuntu 22.04.
Published ports and SSL guidance
Dockerfile, docker-compose.example.yml
Exposes ports 80, 8080, and 2022. Updates SSL volume guidance for Certbot and Wings-managed certificates.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a4a00

The optional TLS Compose workflow can validate different ports from those actually launched, potentially causing incorrect API or SFTP exposure, while the new CI job may receive broader repository-token permissions than necessary. An additional port-conflict validation concern remains open, so the PR is not merge-ready until these bounded risks are addressed or explicitly accepted.

Docker Compose interpolation required value syntax :? empty variable and ports host port range duplicate published ports official documentation

💡 Result:

Docker Compose supports variable interpolation with a Bash-like syntax. For mandatory variables, you can use the following patterns [1][2][3]: - ${VARIABLE:?error}: Exits with an error message if the variable is unset or empty [1][2][3]. - ${VARIABLE?error}: Exits with an error message if the variable is unset (but allows empty values) [1][2][3]. Regarding port mapping and host port ranges, duplicate ports or overlaps often cause errors because they conflict with network binding rules on the host [4][5]. Docker requires unique port mappings to avoid "address already in use" errors [6][4][7]. If you encounter duplicate port errors: 1. Ensure your service configuration does not inadvertently merge duplicate ports (e.g., when using extends or multiple Compose files) [6][7]. 2. Use docker compose config to inspect the fully resolved configuration and identify where duplicates are occurring [8]. 3. For dynamic port ranges, assigning a range (e.g., 8000-8010:80) allows the engine to select an available port within that range, which helps avoid conflicts when running multiple replicas [4][5]. Avoid hardcoding specific host-side ports if you need to scale services on the same host [4]. If you face specific "must be unique" errors, check that your variables for port mappings do not resolve to the same value across different entries in the ports array [8][7].

site:docs.docker.com/reference/compose-file/services ports published target ports unique duplicate port mappings

💡 Result:

In containerization, specifically within Docker and Docker Compose, port mappings facilitate communication between a host machine and a container [1][2]. Target ports and published ports are defined as follows: - Target: Refers to the specific port on which the service inside the container is listening [1]. - Published: Refers to the port on the host machine that is exposed to the external network [1]. When traffic hits this published port on the host, it is routed to the corresponding target port inside the container [1]. Regarding unique and duplicate port mappings: - Port mappings must be unique per host interface. Because a specific port on a host machine can only be bound by one process at a time, you cannot map multiple containers to the same published host port on the same IP address [1]. - Attempting to map multiple containers to the same published host port will result in a bind error, typically indicating that the address is already in use [1]. - If you do not specify a published port, the container runtime can automatically allocate an unassigned, unique port on the host [1]. - Port mapping should not be used when network_mode is set to host, as the container already shares the host's networking stack directly, making explicit mappings redundant and resulting in a runtime error [1].

Reject invalid or conflicting service-port values before Compose starts.

The ${...:? ...} expressions reject only unset or empty variables. They do not reject non-port values, port 80, or equal WINGS_API_PORT and WINGS_SFTP_PORT values. These values conflict with the ACME binding or with published service bindings. Add a preflight that validates ports from 1 through 65535, excludes 80, and requires the service ports to differ. Test unset, non-numeric, boundary, reserved, and duplicate-port cases.
