Repository files navigation

Run inyoka with theme in docker

Requirements

Enable Swarm

  • check whether docker swarm is already enabled on your machine
    docker system info | grep Swarm
  • if not, enable it via docker swarm init

Swarm is mainly used as it allows to use Docker secrets and configs. Inyoka does not need multiple systems.

Clone repositories

Inside a directory of your choice clone the required repositories

git clone git@github.com:inyokaproject/docker-setup.git . # take note of the '.'
git clone git@github.com:inyokaproject/inyoka.git

If you want to use an own theme, clone it also:

git clone git@github.com:inyokaproject/theme-example.git ./theme

Review configuration files

Inyoka uses multiple components like a postgreSQL database or a cache.

Especially for production environments, review the prepared configuration files, if everything fits your needs. Some examples:

  • Whether the maximum redis cache sizes fits to the server's amount of RAM.
  • Whether memory settings of postgreSQL fit to the server's amount of RAM.
  • In production_settings.py
    • EMAIL_HOST points to the right host, if you want to send mails.
    • Your preferred language is the default.
    • ...

Build container images

If you have access to our container-registry and just want to use a pre-build image, you can skip this step.

Otherwise, executed inside the docker-setup directory the script to build the Inyoka docker images:

./build_docker_images.sh
  • To tag the images for production environments Add the option --production. By default, they will be tagged for staging.
  • If you want to use an own theme, add --theme.

Create docker secrets

Some services need secrets. An example script for development is provided.

  • for development run ./development_set_secrets.sh. The defaults should be fine here.
  • for production
    • Copy the script: cp development_set_secrets.sh production_set_secrets.sh
    • Check whether you want to use services like akismet or sentry. If you want to use it, adapt their secrets.
    • Change the .localhost domains to your custom ones
    • Adjust the email (used by caddy for ACME)
    • Run the customized script ./production_set_secrets.sh

(As an alternative consider to set up the secrets via ansible's community.docker.docker_secret)

Development: Adjust the user/group ids

(only for development setups)

To get the current user and group id in your shell, execute

# user id
$ id -u
1000

# group id of user
$ id -g
100

Insert your specific values at the top of docker-development.yml. There is a x-user: section.

If you leave the default values, permission errors for the media volume are likely.

Login to Inyoka-Docker registry

If you don't build the container on your system and have access to the inyoka-container repository, you have to log in first:

docker login https://git.ubuntu-eu.org

Start the stack

  • for development
docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.yaml -c docker-development.yml inyoka-dev --with-registry-auth --detach=false

For development container-images with tag staging are used.

  • for production
docker stack deploy -c docker-compose.yaml inyoka --with-registry-auth --detach=false

For production the container-images with tag latest are used.

Service status

To view, whether all services are up and running, execute

docker service ls

or

docker stats

Run Migrations

Run database migrations (works only on the same machine, where the container runs)

docker exec -it <container id> /inyoka/venv/bin/python manage.py migrate

Either you use tab-completion or get the container id from docker container ls.

Publish ports

To be able to access Inyoka, publish the ports of the caddy web server:

  • for development
docker service update --publish-add published=80,target=80 --publish-add published=443,target=443 --publish-add published=443,target=443,protocol=udp inyoka-dev_caddy
  • for production
docker service update --publish-add published=80,target=80 --publish-add published=443,target=443 --publish-add published=443,target=443,protocol=udp inyoka_caddy

You should now be able to visit your Inyoka instance in your browser.

  • for development use the URL ubuntuusers.localhost. Most likely, for development you will see a certificate error, see the section below for details. You can use curl -L --verbose -4 --insecure https://ubuntuusers.localhost/ to see, if a response is generated.
  • for production use your custom URL

Create data

  • To create some testdata execute
    docker exec -it <inyoka_workercontainer> /inyoka/venv/bin/python ./make_testdata.py
  • To create a superuser account named admin execute
    docker exec -it <inyoka_workercontainer> /inyoka/venv/bin/python manage.py create_superuser --username admin --email 'admin@localhost'

Development: E-Mail logs

(only for development setups)

E-Mail logs can be viewed via docker service logs -f inyoka-dev_inyoka-worker

Development: TLS certificates

(only for development setups)

For the development setup, caddy automatically creates self-signed TLS certificates.

To get the local TLS root certificate of caddy execute

docker exec -it <caddy container id> cat /data/caddy/pki/authorities/local/root.crt > caddy_local_root.crt

It is recommended to use a separate browser profile only for local development. In this separate profile you can import the root certificate. The local root CA will not change as long as the caddy volumes are the same.

As an alternative, you can also trust all *.ubuntuusers.localhost domains manually. However, the leaf certificates seem to be only valid for one day.

View service logs

docker service logs <service name from service ls>
  • Add -f to follow for new entries

Remove the stack

  • for development
docker stack rm inyoka-dev
  • for production
docker stack rm inyoka

Other notes

  • "Where is Docker storing my data when I use a named volume?"
    docker volume inspect <volume-name>
  • View the merged development stack config
    docker stack config -c docker-compose.yaml -c docker-development.yml |& less
  • Compare production and development stack config
    vimdiff <(docker stack config -c docker-compose.yaml) <(docker stack config -c docker-compose.yaml -c docker-development.yml)
