Postleaf Docker Container

Docker container for Postleaf. Currently just for trying out Postleaf.

IMPORTANT: Not recommended for production usage. Postleaf is currently in Alpha testing phase and this Dockerfile is currently not for production.

Features

This container has the following services/software build in:

  • Nginx 1.13.0
  • Node 7.x
  • Postleaf 1.0.0-alpha.3

Usage (with volumes)

  1. Once Docker is installed clone this repo: git clone https://github.com/lukewatts/postleaf-docker.git
  2. Change into postleaf-docker directory: cd postleaf-docker
  3. Ensure docker command has sudo rights: sudo usermod -aG docker sudo
  4. Build container: docker build -t postleaf:1.0.0-alpha.3 .
  5. Create necessary volume directories: mkdir html/data html/cache/ html/uploads
  6. Make sure volumes has correct owner: sudo chown -R root:root $(pwd)/html
  7. Run the container: docker run -tid -v $(pwd)/html/data:/usr/share/nginx/html/data -v $(pwd)/html/cache:/usr/share/nginx/html/cache -v $(pwd)/html/uploads:/usr/share/nginx/html/uploads -p 80:80 --name postleaf postleaf:1.0.0-alpha.3
  8. Visit the url (http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost)

Usage (for quick testing)

  1. Follow steps 1 - 4 above.
  2. Run the container so it removes the container when stopped: docker run -ti --rm -p 80:80 --name postleaf_test postleaf:1.0.0-alpha.3
  3. Visit the url

Access container while it is running

If you want to look at the code of Postleaf or debug issues etc you will need to use exec to access the container while it's running.

docker exec -it postleaf bash

NOTE: To make edits you will need to install Vim or Nano yourself.

apt-get install vim nano

If you are not running on localhost

If you are testing Postleaf on a domain, vhost or on a server with a public IP you will notice the styles are not correctly loaded on the login screen.

To fix this you will need to add the --env flag to set the APP_URL variable.

Assuming you're domain is http://postleaf.dev/ you will need to use the following command when running the container:

docker run -tid -v $(pwd)/html/data:/usr/share/nginx/html/data -v $(pwd)/html/cache:/usr/share/nginx/html/cache -v $(pwd)/html/uploads:/usr/share/nginx/html/uploads -p 80:80 --env APP_URL=http://postleaf.dev/ --name postleaf postleaf:1.0.0-alpha.3

Future features

  • Allow overriding all ENV variables in .env file. Not just APP_URL
  • Add to Docker Hub
