WARNING:

Since the last build, I have changed the default user to a non-root one. You have to change the ownership of your local ubooquity's config folder to 1042:

chown -R 1042:1042 /PATH/TO/UBOOQUITY/CONFIG

And then restart your container.

Introduction

This image is built to be as lighweight and simple as possible. It is based on alpine and openjdk 8.

Ubooquity version : 2.1.2

Getting started

Docker Installation

Please see the Docker installation documentation for details.

Prerequisite

Ensure that you have folders created for the ubooquity config on the host. It's generally recommended to have some e-books or comics to mount in :)

Docker

Manage configuration directory :

In the following exemples, replace the volumes:

/PATH/TO/UBOOQUITY/CONFIG by the location where ubooquity's config files will be stored.
/PATH/TO/COMICSANDBOOKS by the location where your comics are stored.

/!\ IMPORTANT: As this image execute ubooquity as a non-root user, the following steps have to be done prior to start the container:

mkdir /PATH/TO/UBOOQUITY/CONFIG
chown -R 1042:1042 /PATH/TO/UBOOQUITY/CONFIG

Start the container :

Run the following command line :

docker run --restart=always -d \
  -v /PATH/TO/UBOOQUITY/CONFIG:/config \
  -v /PATH/TO/COMICSANDBOOKS:/media \
  -p 2202:2202 \
  -p 2502:2502 \
  -e UBOOQUITY_VERSION= \
  -e FILE_ENCODING=UTF-8 \
  -e LIBRARY_PORT=2202 \
  -e ADMIN_PORT=2502 \
  -e TZ=Europe/Paris \
  zerpex/ubooquity-docker

Docker-compose

Use the following docker-compose.yml and adapt it to your configuration :

version: '2'

services:
   ubooquity:
    restart: always
    image: zerpex/ubooquity-docker
    container_name: ubooquity
    volumes:
      - /PATH/TO/UBOOQUITY/CONFIG:/config

    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Paris
    ports:

      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Paris

Notes

Once the container is up:

go to http://{YOUR_IP_ADDRESS}:2502/admin and do your configuration according to the ubooquity documentation.
Then, you can access Ubooquity through http://{YOUR_IP_ADDRESS}:2202
In order to keep your containers up to date automatically, I recommand you to use Watchtower that will do the job for you :)
