linuxserver/swag
SWAG - Secure Web Application Gateway (formerly known as letsencrypt, no relation to Let's Encrypt™) sets up an Nginx webserver and reverse proxy with php support and a built-in certbot client that automates free SSL server certificate generation and renewal processes. It also contains fail2ban for intrusion prevention.
Supported Architectures
Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64
, arm64
and armhf
. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling ghcr.io/linuxserver/swag
should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
Architecture | Tag |
---|---|
x86-64 | amd64-latest |
arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
armhf | arm32v7-latest |
Usage
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.

Parameters
Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal>
respectively. For example, -p 8080:80
would expose port 80
from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080
outside the container.
Parameter | Function |
---|---|
-p 443 |
Https port |
-p 80 |
Http port (required for http validation and http -> https redirect) |
-e PUID=1000 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
-e PGID=1000 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
-e TZ=Europe/London |
Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London. |
-e URL=yourdomain.url |
Top url you have control over (customdomain.com if you own it, or customsubdomain.ddnsprovider.com if dynamic dns). |
-e SUBDOMAINS=www, |
Subdomains you'd like the cert to cover (comma separated, no spaces) ie. www,ftp,cloud . For a wildcard cert, set this exactly to wildcard (wildcard cert is available via dns and duckdns validation only) |
-e VALIDATION=http |
Certbot validation method to use, options are http , dns or duckdns (dns method also requires DNSPLUGIN variable set) (duckdns method requires DUCKDNSTOKEN variable set, and the SUBDOMAINS variable must be either empty or set to wildcard ). |
-e DNSPLUGIN=cloudflare |
Required if VALIDATION is set to dns . Options are aliyun , cloudflare , cloudxns , cpanel , digitalocean , dnsimple , dnsmadeeasy , domeneshop , gandi ,gehirn , google , inwx , linode , luadns , netcup , nsone , ovh , rfc2136 , route53 , sakuracloud and transip . Also need to enter the credentials into the corresponding ini (or json for some plugins) file under /config/dns-conf . |
-e PROPAGATION= |
Optionally override (in seconds) the default propagation time for the dns plugins. |
-e DUCKDNSTOKEN= |
Required if VALIDATION is set to duckdns . Retrieve your token from https://www.duckdns.org |
-e EMAIL= |
Optional e-mail address used for cert expiration notifications. |
-e ONLY_SUBDOMAINS=false |
If you wish to get certs only for certain subdomains, but not the main domain (main domain may be hosted on another machine and cannot be validated), set this to true |
-e EXTRA_DOMAINS= |
Additional fully qualified domain names (comma separated, no spaces) ie. extradomain.com,subdomain.anotherdomain.org,*.anotherdomain.org |
-e STAGING=false |
Set to true to retrieve certs in staging mode. Rate limits will be much higher, but the resulting cert will not pass the browser's security test. Only to be used for testing purposes. |
-e MAXMINDDB_LICENSE_KEY= |
Add your MaxmindDB license key to automatically download the GeoLite2-City.mmdb database. Download location is /config/geoip2db. The database is updated weekly. |
-v /config |
All the config files including the webroot reside here. |
Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__
.
As an example:
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword
Will set the environment variable PASSWORD
based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword
file.
Umask for running applications
For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022
setting.
Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.
User / Group Identifiers
When using volumes (-v
flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID
and group PGID
.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance PUID=1000
and PGID=1000
, to find yours use id user
as below:
$ id username
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
Application Setup
Migrating from the old
linuxserver/letsencrypt
image
- If using docker cli:
- Stop and remove existing container via
docker stop letsencrypt
anddocker rm letsencrypt
- Create new container using the sample on this page (container name:
swag
, image name:linuxserver/swag
)- If using docker compose:
- Edit the compose yaml to change the image to
linuxserver/swag
and change the service and container names toswag
- Issue
docker-compose up -d --remove-orphans
- If you don't want to or can't use the option
--remove-orphans
, then you can first dodocker-compose down
, then edit the compose yaml as above, and then issuedocker-compose up -d
Make sure to also update any references to this container by name. For instance, Nextcloud's
config.php
references this container in itstrusted_proxies
directive, which would have to be updated toswag
.
Validation and initial setup
- Before running this container, make sure that the url and subdomains are properly forwarded to this container's host, and that port 443 (and/or 80) is not being used by another service on the host (NAS gui, another webserver, etc.).
- For
http
validation, port 80 on the internet side of the router should be forwarded to this container's port 80 - For
dns
validation, make sure to enter your credentials into the corresponding ini (or json for some plugins) file under/config/dns-conf
- Cloudflare provides free accounts for managing dns and is very easy to use with this image. Make sure that it is set up for "dns only" instead of "dns + proxy"
- Google dns plugin is meant to be used with "Google Cloud DNS", a paid enterprise product, and not for "Google Domains DNS"
- For
duckdns
validation, either leave theSUBDOMAINS
variable empty or set it towildcard
, and set theDUCKDNSTOKEN
variable with your duckdns token. Due to a limitation of duckdns, the resulting cert will only cover either main subdomain (ie.yoursubdomain.duckdns.org
), or sub-subdomains (ie.*.yoursubdomain.duckdns.org
), but will not both at the same time. You can use our duckdns image to update your IP on duckdns.org. --cap-add=NET_ADMIN
is required for fail2ban to modify iptables- If you need a dynamic dns provider, you can use the free provider duckdns.org where the
URL
will beyoursubdomain.duckdns.org
and theSUBDOMAINS
can bewww,ftp,cloud
with http validation, orwildcard
with dns validation. - After setup, navigate to
https://yourdomain.url
to access the default homepage (http access through port 80 is disabled by default, you can enable it by editing the default site config at/config/nginx/site-confs/default
). - Certs are checked nightly and if expiration is within 30 days, renewal is attempted. If your cert is about to expire in less than 30 days, check the logs under
/config/log/letsencrypt
to see why the renewals have been failing. It is recommended to input your e-mail in docker parameters so you receive expiration notices from Let's Encrypt in those circumstances.
Security and password protection
- The container detects changes to url and subdomains, revokes existing certs and generates new ones during start.
- The container provides a pre-generated 4096-bit dhparams.pem (rotated weekly via Jenkins job) for new instances, however you may generate your own by running
docker exec swag openssl dhparam -out /config/nginx/dhparams.pem 4096
WARNING: This takes a very long time - If you'd like to password protect your sites, you can use htpasswd. Run the following command on your host to generate the htpasswd file
docker exec -it swag htpasswd -c /config/nginx/.htpasswd <username>
- You can add multiple user:pass to
.htpasswd
. For the first user, use the above command, for others, use the above command without the-c
flag, as it will force deletion of the existing.htpasswd
and creation of a new one - You can also use ldap auth for security and access control. A sample, user configurable ldap.conf is provided, and it requires the separate image linuxserver/ldap-auth to communicate with an ldap server.
Site config and reverse proxy
- The default site config resides at
/config/nginx/site-confs/default
. Feel free to modify this file, and you can add other conf files to this directory. However, if you delete thedefault
file, a new default will be created on container start. - Preset reverse proxy config files are added for popular apps. See the
README.md
file under/config/nginx/proxy_confs
for instructions on how to enable them. The preset confs reside in and get imported from this repo. - If you wish to hide your site from search engine crawlers, you may find it useful to add this configuration line to your site config, within the server block, above the line where ssl.conf is included
add_header X-Robots-Tag "noindex, nofollow, nosnippet, noarchive";
This will ask Google et al not to index and list your site. Be careful with this, as you will eventually be de-listed if you leave this line in on a site you wish to be present on search engines - If you wish to redirect http to https, you must expose port 80
Using certs in other containers
- This container includes auto-generated pfx and private-fullchain-bundle pem certs that are needed by other apps like Emby and Znc.
- To use these certs in other containers, do either of the following:
- (Easier) Mount the container's config folder in other containers (ie.
-v /path-to-le-config:/le-ssl
) and in the other containers, use the cert location/le-ssl/keys/letsencrypt/
- (More secure) Mount the SWAG folder
etc
that resides under/config
in other containers (ie.-v /path-to-le-config/etc:/le-ssl
) and in the other containers, use the cert location/le-ssl/letsencrypt/live/<your.domain.url>/
(This is more secure because the first method shares the entire SWAG config folder with other containers, including the www files, whereas the second method only shares the ssl certs)
- These certs include:
cert.pem
,chain.pem
,fullchain.pem
andprivkey.pem
, which are generated by Let's Encrypt and used by nginx and various other appsprivkey.pfx
, a format supported by Microsoft and commonly used by dotnet apps such as Emby Server (no password)priv-fullchain-bundle.pem
, a pem cert that bundles the private key and the fullchain, used by apps like ZNC
Using fail2ban
- This container includes fail2ban set up with 4 jails by default:
- nginx-http-auth
- nginx-badbots
- nginx-botsearch
- nginx-deny
- To enable or disable other jails, modify the file
/config/fail2ban/jail.local
- To modify filters and actions, instead of editing the
.conf
files, create.local
files with the same name and edit those because .conf files get overwritten when the actions and filters are updated..local
files will append whatever's in the.conf
files (ie.nginx-http-auth.conf
-->nginx-http-auth.local
) - You can check which jails are active via
docker exec -it swag fail2ban-client status
- You can check the status of a specific jail via
docker exec -it swag fail2ban-client status <jail name>
- You can unban an IP via
docker exec -it swag fail2ban-client set <jail name> unbanip <IP>
- A list of commands can be found here: https://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/Commands
Updating configs
- This container creates a number of configs for nginx, proxy samples, etc.
- Config updates are noted in the changelog but not automatically applied to your files.
- If you have modified a file with noted changes in the changelog:
- Keep your existing configs as is (not broken, don't fix)
- Review our repository commits and apply the new changes yourself
- Delete the modified config file with listed updates, restart the container, reapply your changes
- If you have NOT modified a file with noted changes in the changelog:
- Delete the config file with listed updates, restart the container
- Proxy sample updates are not listed in the changelog. See the changes here: https://github.com/linuxserver/reverse-proxy-confs/commits/master
- Proxy sample files WILL be updated, however your renamed (enabled) proxy files will not.
- You can check the new sample and adjust your active config as needed.
Docker Mods
We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
Support Info
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it swag /bin/bash
- To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f swag
- container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' swag
- image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' ghcr.io/linuxserver/swag
Updating Info
Most of our images are static, versioned, and require an image update and container recreation to update the app inside. With some exceptions (ie. nextcloud, plex), we do not recommend or support updating apps inside the container. Please consult the Application Setup section above to see if it is recommended for the image.
Below are the instructions for updating containers:
Via Docker Compose
- Update all images:
docker-compose pull
- or update a single image:
docker-compose pull swag
- or update a single image:
- Let compose update all containers as necessary:
docker-compose up -d
- or update a single container:
docker-compose up -d swag
- or update a single container:
- You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Via Docker Run
- Update the image:
docker pull ghcr.io/linuxserver/swag
- Stop the running container:
docker stop swag
- Delete the container:
docker rm swag
- Recreate a new container with the same docker run parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your
/config
folder and settings will be preserved) - You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Via Watchtower auto-updater (only use if you don't remember the original parameters)
- Pull the latest image at its tag and replace it with the same env variables in one run:
docker run --rm \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ containrrr/watchtower \ --run-once swag
- You can also remove the old dangling images:
docker image prune
Note: We do not endorse the use of Watchtower as a solution to automated updates of existing Docker containers. In fact we generally discourage automated updates. However, this is a useful tool for one-time manual updates of containers where you have forgotten the original parameters. In the long term, we highly recommend using Docker Compose.
Image Update Notifications - Diun (Docker Image Update Notifier)
- We recommend Diun for update notifications. Other tools that automatically update containers unattended are not recommended or supported.
Building locally
If you want to make local modifications to these images for development purposes or just to customize the logic:
git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-swag.git
cd docker-swag
docker build \
--no-cache \
--pull \
-t ghcr.io/linuxserver/swag:latest .
The ARM variants can be built on x86_64 hardware using multiarch/qemu-user-static
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset
Once registered you can define the dockerfile to use with -f Dockerfile.aarch64
.
