Docker Business Central

Posted on by 10

Hello everyone!

I would like to know if you can share any document where I can follow up and solve the problem.

I have a server with Windows Server 2019 and this server has a Public IP, on that server I have several versions of Business Central on a Docker. Is it possible that the docker can see the public IP? Is it possible to do this or recommended?

    additional points:

    for security reasons, at least consider using AAD authentification for your container and activate MFA. Do not Use NavUserPassword authentication

    Is it recommended? I don't know

    Is it possible? Yes. Below a summary if you want to practice only. For PROD, I recommend you talk to a security expert before doing this ;)

    - create a dns for your public IP (in your dns registar). I suggest a subdomain like mybcserver.mydomain.com

    - get a valid ssl certificate for this subdomain

    - allow https (port 443) on your router/firewall and redirect to private IP of your server

    - wipe all your container

    - create a traefik container with bccontainerhelper (give it tour public subdomain and the ssl certificate as inputs)

    - recreate your containers with bccontainerhelper and use the switch -useTraefik

    Of course you can go the fancy way and try to install and configure yourself traefik or another proxy manager ;)

    Totally possible - yes.

    You might want to / have to implement Traefik to achieve what you want.

    Please look at the doc here: doc.traefik.io/.../
