Install using Docker Compose

Create a project directory (for example, /opt/gufo-tower):

mkdir -p /opt/gufo-tower
cd /opt/gufo-tower

Save the following file there as docker-compose.yml:

docker-compose.yml

Adjust the following parameters as needed.

Data storage

volumes:
  - "/var/tower:/data"

Replace /var/tower with the path on the host where the Tower home directory will be stored.

Network ports

To allow Tower to serve traffic directly on host port 8888, leave the configuration unchanged:

ports:
    - "8888:8888"

To serve traffic through a reverse proxy, such as Nginx, bind the port to the loopback interface instead:

ports:
    - "127.0.0.1:8888:8888"

In this case, Tower will only accept connections through the host's loopback interface, allowing the reverse proxy to forward requests to it.

To use a different host port, replace the first 8888 with the desired port. Leave the second 8888 unchanged.

Start Tower

From the project directory, start Tower in the background:

docker compose up -d

To follow the service logs, run docker compose logs -f. To stop Tower, run docker compose down from the same directory. Data in the host directory mounted at /data is preserved.
