3. Install via Docker Compose

   docker-compose.yml

    services:
      # watchtower automatically updates the EasyTier image; remove this section if not needed
      watchtower:
        image: nickfedor/watchtower
        container_name: watchtower
        restart: unless-stopped
        environment:
          - TZ=Asia/Shanghai
          - WATCHTOWER_NO_STARTUP_MESSAGE
        volumes:
          - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
        command: --interval 3600 --cleanup --label-enable
   
      easytier:
        # Users in mainland China can use the DaoCloud mirror
        # image: m.daocloud.io/docker.io/easytier/easytier:latest
        image: easytier/easytier:latest
        hostname: easytier
        container_name: easytier
        labels:
          com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable: 'true'
        restart: unless-stopped
        network_mode: host
        cap_add:
          - NET_ADMIN
          - NET_RAW
        environment:
          - TZ=Asia/Shanghai
        devices:
          - /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun
        volumes:
          - /etc/machine-id:/etc/machine-id:ro
        command: >
          -d --network-name <user> --network-secret <password>
          -p tcp://<public-ip-of-other-peer-or-public-node>:11010

   To separate the configuration file from the container, create a conf directory next to docker-compose.yml and save the EasyTier configuration file as ./conf/easytier.toml:

   docker-compose.yml (start with configuration file)

    services:
      easytier:
        # Users in mainland China can use the DaoCloud mirror
        # image: m.daocloud.io/docker.io/easytier/easytier:latest
        image: easytier/easytier:latest
        hostname: easytier
        container_name: easytier
        restart: unless-stopped
        network_mode: host
        cap_add:
          - NET_ADMIN
          - NET_RAW
        environment:
          - TZ=Asia/Shanghai
        devices:
          - /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun
        volumes:
          - /etc/machine-id:/etc/machine-id:ro
          - ./conf:/config
        command: >
          -c /config/easytier.toml

   After modifying ./conf/easytier.toml, run docker compose restart easytier to reload the configuration.
