+# Caddy web server configuration guide
+
+This is how to secure kanban with a free https certificate from [let's encypt](letsencypt.org).
+The Caddy webserver has a [preset for proxing websocket connections](https://caddyserver.com/docs/proxy):
+
+```
+proxy / http://localhost:3333 {
+  websocket
+}
+```
+
+This assumes kanban is running on port 3333
+
+If you are already using Caddy, you might as well secure your installation with a free certificate which is automatically renewed by Caddy:
+
+```
+kanboard.your-domain.com
+tls you@mail.com
+proxy / http://localhost:3333 {
+  websocket
+}
+```

+# Installation via via docker-compose and Caddy
+by [brasilikum](github.com/brasilikum)
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- docker is installed on your machine
+- docker-compose is installed on your machine
+- a domain (eg `mykanban.com`) points to your machine
+
+
+## Setup application for OAuth in GitLab.
+
+Go to your GitLab profile section "Application" and press button "New Application"
+
+![applications page](gitlab_oauth/applications.jpg)
+
+Under **name**, enter something you whish, like: kanban
+Under Redirect URI enter: https://**mykanban.com**/assets/html/user/views/oauth.html
+Swap `mykanban.com` with your custom domain.
+
+![new application](gitlab_oauth/create_desc.jpg)
+
+Next you get a success page. Leave it open, you will need the the values in the next step.
+
+![installed application](gitlab_oauth/create_success_alt.jpg)
+
+## Adapt the docker-compose.yaml file
+
+Create a new directory on your server, called `kanboard`.
+Inside, create the following `docker-compose.yaml` file:
+
+```yml
+
+caddy:
+  image: abiosoft/caddy
+  ports:
+    - "1180:80"
+    - "11443:443"
+  volumes:
+    - ./Caddyfile:/etc/Caddyfile
+    - ./caddy:/root/.caddy
+  links:
+    - kanboard
+kanboard:
+  image: leanlabs/kanban:1.6.0
+  links:
+    - redis
+  environment:
+    - KANBAN_SERVER_HOSTNAME=https://mykanban.com
+    - KANBAN_GITLAB_URL=https://mygit.com
+    - KANBAN_GITLAB_CLIENT=clientidhere
+    - KANBAN_GITLAB_SECRET=secrethere
+    - KANBAN_REDIS_ADDR=redis:6379
+    - KANBAN_SECURITY_SECRET=secret
+redis:
+  image: leanlabs/redis:1.0.0
+```
+
+Here you have to modify the following environment variables:
+
+- KANBAN_SERVER_HOSTNAME: put in your domainname
+- KANBAN_GITLAB_URL: put in your gitlab url
+- KANBAN_GITLAB_CLIENT: put in the ID from gitlab
+- KANBAN_GITLAB_SECRET: put in the secret from gitlab
+- KANBAN_SECURITY_SECRET: put in some randomnes. Let your passwordmanager generate something.
+
+
+## Configure Caddyfile
+Now the only thing missing is our `Caddyfile`. Put it in the same folder as the docker-compose file.
+
+```
+
+mykanban.com
+tls me@mail.com
+proxy / http://kanboard:80 {
+  websocket
+}
+```
+
+Fill in your domain and email.
+
+## Run
+We are done!
+In the kanban directory run:
+
+```
+docker-compose up
+```
+
+You can now open your browser at your domain and should automatically be redirected to https.
