Dokploy and Vendure

Use these best practices and caveats from Pinelab to troubleshoot domain certificates and enable HTTP compression on Dokploy-managed Traefik deployments.

Domain

Section titled “Domain”

If certificate generation fails, it can help to fully remove the domain from the Dokploy dashboard, then add it again. Afterwards, verify that HTTPS works with a valid certificate. This is not a guaranteed fix.

Compression

Section titled “Compression”

Requires access to Dokploy’s Traefik files and application domain settings. Confirm your Traefik version supports the shown compression options before applying them.

  1. Merge this middleware into /etc/dokploy/traefik/dynamic/middlewares.yml, preserving existing entries:

    http:
      middlewares:
        storefront-compress:
          compress:
            minResponseBodyBytes: 1024
            encodings:
              - br
              - gzip

  2. In the application’s Dokploy domain settings, add storefront-compress@file under Middlewares, then click Add and Update. An application rebuild is normally unnecessary. Use the domain UI rather than editing generated application YAML, which Dokploy may overwrite.

For Astro storefronts, set build.inlineStylesheets: 'auto' in astro.config.mjs to emit large stylesheets as cacheable assets. compressHTML only minifies HTML; it does not enable HTTP compression.

Verify against a deployed text asset, not local preview:

Terminal window
curl -sI -H 'Accept-Encoding: br,gzip' \
  https://<storefront-domain>/_astro/<hashed-stylesheet>.css

Expect Content-Encoding: br or gzip and Vary: Accept-Encoding. Repeat without Accept-Encoding to confirm the asset still loads. Compression mainly benefits text assets, not WebP, JPEG, or PNG.

The compression instructions were migrated from prior knowledge and have not been freshly tested.
