    volumes:
      - ./data/app:/var/www/html
      - ./data/mysql:/var/lib/mysql
    restart: always

  redis:
    image: redis
    container_name: simplelogin-redis
    volumes:
      - ./data/redis:/data
    restart: always

Note that you should replace "example.com" with your domain name and "[email protected]" with your email address.

  1. Save and exit the "docker-compose.yml" file.

  2. Create a directory named "data" by running the following command:

mkdir data
  1. Change the ownership of the "data" directory to the "nginx" user by running the following command:
sudo chown -R 1000:1000 data
  1. Start SimpleLogin by running the following command:
docker-compose up -d

  4. Enter the following values in the "Advanced" tab:

  • Scheme: https
  • Forward Hostname/IP: 127.0.0.1

  1. Click "Save" to save the proxy host configuration.

  2. Update your domain DNS records to point to your server IP address.
