YouTrack Docker Swarm and Kubernetes manifests

Deploy YouTrack to docker swarm or kubernetes

Fri, 02 Feb 2024

This is the first post in a series where I’ll be dropping manifests and configs to set up some of my favorite services that I currently or use to host in my homelab. I’ll start off with what I use it for, how to set it up on Docker Swarm and how to set it up on Kubernetes

Usage

I primarily used YouTrack for issue tracking, I liked it a lot because it integrated into TeamCity nicely which I was using already and I could easily attach commits from Git and Perforce. It is a bit bulkier than I like for an application thats only used by me (2-3GB). It is my most memory intensive application for myself minus TeamCity which idles at around 4GB.

I was using YouTrack for hosting my documentation as well. As of now I moved my documentation to Wiki.js instance which I like and moved my issue tracking to Linear. YouTrack was nice, stable and feature rich, that being said it felt too bulky for what I wanted and reminded me of an easier to use Jira. Linear is lean, beautiful and offers a setup that I feel as though was made for developers and not for product managers such as YouTrack and Jira

Docker Swarm

I am a firm believer that CPU should be left to unlimited on every service that is meant to run 24/7 and that you should limit your memory to prevent OOM issues. Your memory limit should never exceed your requests limit. This is set up with traefik on a traefik network I named “traefik-public”. My certresolver is a lets encrypt resolver I named le. I also use loki for logging. If you want to deploy just the image without traefik and loki, you can delete all of those lines as well as update the volumes section. 

version: "3.9"
services:
  youtrack:
    image: jetbrains/youtrack:2023.2.19783 # Update this to the latest image

          memory: 4000M
        limits:
          memory: 4000M
      labels:
      # Traefik Config
      - traefik.enable=true
      - traefik.docker.network=traefik-public

      - traefik.http.routers.youtrack.tls.certresolver=le
      # Services
      - traefik.http.services.youtrack.loadbalancer.server.port=8080
    logging:
      driver: loki
      options:
        loki-url: http://192.168.50.95:3100/loki/api/v1/push

Kubernetes

Very similar to my docker swarm setup. This uses traefik, and exposes my service to all ip’s on my local subnet. The shared storage is still on my nas

Traefik and Loki

If you search my website for traefik and loki you should find posts that go through a basic setup for Traefik in Kubernetes and Docker Swarm as well as Loki with Docker Swarm
