These instructions are for setting up a persistent instance of the Homebrewery application locally using Docker.
If you intend to develop with Homebrewery, following the Homebrewery application section of this guide is not recommended. Using docker to deploy MongoDB locally for development is not a bad idea at all, however.
Windows and Mac installs use Docker Desktop. Current install instructions are below.
You can set up the docker engine to start on boot via the Docker desktop UI.
Linux installs use Docker Engine. Docker provides installers and instructions for several of the most common distrubutions. If you do not see yours listed, it is very likely supported indirectly by your distribution.
Manage Docker as a non-root user (highly recommended) Enable Docker to start on boot (highly recommended)
Next we build the homebrewery docker image. Start by cloning the repository.
git clone https://github.com/naturalcrit/homebrewery.git
cd homebrewery
Make an changes you need to config/docker.json
then build the image. If it does not exist,the below as a template.
{
"host" : "localhost:8000",
"naturalcrit_url" : "local.naturalcrit.com:8010",
"secret" : "secret",
"web_port" : 8000,
"enable_v3" : true,
"mongodb_uri": "mongodb://172.17.0.2/homebrewery",
"enable_themes" : true,
}
docker-compose build homebrewery
Once docker is installed and running, it is time to set up the containers. First up, Mongo.
docker run --name homebrewery-mongodb -d --restart unless-stopped -v mongodata:/data/db -p 27017:27017 mongo:latest
Older CPUs may run into an issue with AVX support.
WARNING: MongoDB 5.0+ requires a CPU with AVX support, and your current system does not appear to have that!
see https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-54407
see also https://www.mongodb.com/community/forums/t/mongodb-5-0-cpu-intel-g4650-compatibility/116610/2
see also https://github.com/docker-library/mongo/issues/485#issuecomment-891991814
If you see a message similar to this, try using the bitnami mongo instead.
docker run --name homebrewery-mongodb -d --restart unless-stopped -v mongodata:/data/db -p 27017:27017 bitnami/mongo:latest
If your distribution is running on an arm device such as a Raspberry Pi, you will need to run the arm-built MongoDB v4.4.
docker run --name homebrewery-mongodb -d --restart unless-stopped -v mongodata:/data/db -p 27017:27017 arm64v8/mongo:4.4
# Make sure you run this in the homebrewery directory
docker run --name homebrewery-app -d --restart unless-stopped -e NODE_ENV=docker -v $(pwd)/config/docker.json:/usr/src/app/config/docker.json -p 8000:8000 docker.io/library/homebrewery:latest
When Homebrewery code updates, your docker container will not automatically follow the changes. To do so you will need to rebuild your homebrewery image.
First, return to your homebrewery clone (from Build Homebrewery Image above) or recreate the clone if you deleted your copy of the code.
First, delete the existing image.
docker rm -f homebrewery-app
Next, update the clone's code to the latest version.
cd homebrewery
git checkout master
git pull upstream master
Finally, rebuild and restart the homebrewery image.
docker-compose build homebrewery
docker run --name homebrewery-app -d --restart unless-stopped -e NODE_ENV=docker -v $(pwd)/config/docker.json:/usr/src/app/config/docker.json -p 8000:8000 docker.io/library/homebrewery:latest
