# Cheminformatics with Tailscale Integration
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
This project sets up a Cheminformatics instance with Tailscale VPN integration using Docker Compose. It creates a secure, private network connection for your Cheminformatics instance using Tailscale.
|
|
|
|
## ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
|
|
|
|
Due to the somewhat atypical nature of this project and the current lack of multi-arch images available in public registries this deployment requires more configuration and depends on a local build of the images to ensure a reliable deployment.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system
|
|
- A Tailscale account and auth key (get one from https://login.tailscale.com/admin/authkeys)
|
|
- Tailscale SSL certs are enabled in the admin page.
|
|
- Basic understanding of Docker and networking concepts
|
|
|
|
## Project Structure
|
|
```
|
|
ts-cheminformatics/
|
|
├── docker-compose.yml
|
|
├── tailscale/
|
|
│ ├── tailscale-data/ # Persistent Tailscale state
|
|
│ └── config/ # Tailscale configuration files
|
|
└── cheminformatics-microservice/ # Cheminformatics Source Code
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Setup Instructions
|
|
|
|
1. **Clone the Repository**
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://gitea.damconsulting.llc/DAM/ts-cheminformatics
|
|
cd ts-cheminformatics
|
|
git clone https://github.com/Steinbeck-Lab/cheminformatics-microservice.git
|
|
```
|
|
2. Create Required Directories
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir -p tailscale/tailscale-data
|
|
```
|
|
3. Configure Tailscale
|
|
- Replace `{{YOUR_TAILSCALE_AUTHKEY}}` in the docker-compose.yml with your actual Tailscale auth key
|
|
- Optionally, update the file in `tailscale/config/serve.json` if you need specific Tailscale serve configurations
|
|
- CAUTION: Changing `"${TS_CERT_DOMAIN}:443": false` to `true` will expose the service to the internet
|
|
|
|
4. Configure Cheminformatics
|
|
- At the end of `./ts-cheminformatics/cheminformatics-microservice/Dockerfile` change `--port 80` to `--port 8080`
|
|
- See the [documentation](https://docs.api.naturalproducts.net/introduction.html) for supplimental options
|
|
|
|
5. Start the Services
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
6. Wait for Certificate to propagate [~2m]
|
|
|
|
7. Login
|
|
- After starting the services your service should be available via tailnet at https://cheminformatics.{{YOUR_TAILNET_DOMAIN}}.ts.net ie https://cheminformatics.tail12345.ts.net/
|
|
|
|
## Services
|
|
|
|
### cheminformatics-ts (Tailscale)
|
|
|
|
- Runs Tailscale VPN client
|
|
- Image: tailscale/tailscale:latest
|
|
- Container name: cheminformatics-ts
|
|
- Hostname: cheminformatics
|
|
- Requires NET_ADMIN and SYS_MODULE capabilities
|
|
- Persists state in ./tailscale/tailscale-data
|
|
- Uses configuration from ./tailscale/config
|
|
|
|
### cheminformatics-backend
|
|
|
|
- Depends on cheminformatics-ts service
|
|
|
|
### cheminformatics-frontend
|
|
|
|
- Depends on cheminformatics-ts service
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
- After starting the services your service should be available via tailnet at `https://cheminformatics.{{YOUR_TAILNET_DOMAIN}}.ts.net` ie `https://cheminformatics.tail12345.ts.net/`
|
|
- To manually get the Tailscale IP/hostname of your container:
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker logs cheminformatics-ts
|
|
```
|
|
Look for the Tailscale IP address in the logs.
|
|
|
|
## Optional Features
|
|
|
|
- Uncomment and adjust the ports mapping if you need direct access (without Tailscale):
|
|
```yaml
|
|
ports:
|
|
- 8080:8080
|
|
- 80:80
|
|
```
|
|
- Stopping the Services
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker compose down
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Connect to Prometheus
|
|
|
|
assuming you already have a prometheus instance in your tailnet add the following to your prometheus.yml configuration file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- job_name: 'cheminformatics'
|
|
scrape_interval: 10s
|
|
metrics_path: /metrics
|
|
static_configs:
|
|
- targets: ['cheminformatics:8080']
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
- Check container logs:
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker logs cheminformatics-ts
|
|
docker logs cheminformatics-backend
|
|
docker logs cheminformatics-frontend
|
|
```
|
|
- Ensure your Tailscale auth key is valid and not expired
|
|
- Verify the configuration files have proper permissions
|
|
- Make sure required directories exist before starting
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
- The Cheminformatics service uses the Tailscale service's network stack via `network_mode: service:cheminformatics-ts`
|
|
- Direct port mapping is disabled by default as Tailscale handles the networking
|
|
- Services restart automatically unless explicitly stopped
