A minimal, lightweight, file-based journaling website built with my own PHP framework and Vue
In 2018, I had a little blog during my 3 Weeks in Paris where I documented my time there. Looking back at that I get very sentimental and I figured, since I'm not someone to have a book journal, I would much rather do something like that with my own Website.
This document only covers the installation using docker. It is possible to do a local installation, but it really is heavily recommended to go the docker way.
If you still need to install docker, go here: docs.docker.com/engine/install
This image requires 3 volumes:
- Media: This Volume is used to store all of your media (images, videos, and in the future possibly also audio files). Mountpoint:
/var/www/html/media - Content: Here, all your markdown files will be stored. Mountpoint:
/var/www/html/content - Data: This is where the "Database" is stored (Json files, for example what users are enabled on your website). Mountpoint:
/var/www/html/data
Alternatively, you can simply mount the entire project directory into a volume.
Run these commands to start the project:
docker volume create journal_media && docker volume create journal_content && docker volume create journal_datadocker run -v journal_media:/var/www/html/media -v journal_content:/var/www/html/content -v journal_data:/var/www/html/data -p 80:80 --container-name journal christiangroeber/journal:latest
