🐳 Running a Firefish server with Docker

Pre-built docker container

thatonecalculator/firefish

`docker-compose`

There is a docker-compose.yml in the root of the project that you can use to build the container from source

.config/docker.env (db config settings)
.config/default.yml (firefish server settings)

Configuring

Rename the files:

cp .config/example.yml .config/default.yml

cp .config/example.env .config/docker.env

then edit them according to your environment. You can configure docker.env with anything you like, but you will have to pay attention to the default.yml file:

url should be set to the URL you will be hosting the web interface for the server at.
host, db, user, pass will have to be configured in the PostgreSQL configuration section - host is the name of the postgres container (eg: firefish_db_1), and the others should match your docker.env.
hostwill need to be configured in the Redis configuration section - it is the name of the redis container (eg: firefish_redis_1)
auth will need to be configured in the Sonic section - cannot be the default SecretPassword

Everything else can be left as-is.

Running docker-compose

The prebuilt container for firefish is fairly large, and may take a few minutes to download and extract using docker.

Copy docker-compose.yml and the config/ to a directory, then run the docker-compose command: docker-compose up -d.

NOTE: This will take some time to come fully online, even after download and extracting the container images, and it may emit some error messages before completing successfully. Specifically, the db container needs to initialize and so isn't available to the web container right away. Only once the db container comes online does the web container start building and initializing the firefish tables.

Once the server is up you can use a web browser to access the web interface at http://serverip:3000 (where serverip is the IP of the server you are running the firefish server on).

Docker for development

cd dev/
docker-compose build
docker-compose run --rm web pnpm run init
docker-compose up -d
