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.
This container has the following services/software build in:
- Nginx 1.13.0
- Node 7.9.0
- Postleaf 1.0.0-alpha.2
While building the container you will see this error:
Error: Postleaf failed to start.
SequelizeUniqueConstraintError: Validation error
This is expected while building the image. The final container will work as expected after this error.
This is because for some reason the process needs to run and fail once before permissions on the postleaf directory can properly be set. I'm hoping to have this sorted in later releases.
- Once Docker is installed clone this repo:
git clone https://github.com/lukewatts/postleaf-docker.git
- Change into
postleaf-docker
directory:cd postleaf-docker
- Ensure docker command has sudo rights:
sudo usermod -aG docker sudo
- Build container:
docker build -t postleaf .
- Run the container:
docker run -tid -v /some/local/path:/usr/share/nginx/html -p 80:80 --name postleaf_dev postleaf
- Visit the url (http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost)
- Follow steps 1 - 4 above.
- Run the container so it removes the container when stopped:
docker run -ti --rm -p 80:80 --name postleaf_test postleaf
- Visit the url
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_dev bash
NOTE: To make edits you will need to install Vim or Nano yourself.
apt-get install vim nano
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 -p 80:80 --env APP_URL=http://postleaf.dev/ --name postleaf_dev postleaf
- Allow overriding all ENV variables in .env file. Not just APP_URL
- Fix weird permissions bugs
- Add to Docker Hub
