Simplify Docker, Docker Compose, and Linux Commands with Bash Aliases

https://bit.ly/4bJVa20

Docker and Docker Compose commands can be lengthy and not so easy to remember. In addition, there are some nice tricks that may require special syntaxes to format them out. And if you spend a long time on your homelab, this could be a lot of typing and time waste. In this video, I will show you how I use Bash Aliases to simplify issuing not just Docker and Docker Compose commands but also Linux commands. For this demo, I am using Ubuntu 22.04 Server Edition. But the procedure is essentially the same for most Linux distros.

Traefik Auth Bypass: Conditionally Bypassing Forward Authentication

https://bit.ly/3PYc7N9

If you have been a reader of this blog, you know by how much I love Traefik. It is a wonderful piece of application that provides a dynamic reserve proxy for all my applications. As a cherry on top, it also makes protecting Docker and non-Docker web applications using Basic Auth, Google OAuth, or other multifactor authentication systems such as Authelia. But sometimes, I want to be able to access my applications from mobile apps, bypassing (but still maintaining some level of security) the authentication layer added via Traefik.
