This will build a container for Cachet - An open source status page.
- This Container uses a customized Alpine base which includes s6 overlay enabled for PID 1 Init capabilities, zabbix-agent for individual container monitoring, Cron also installed along with other tools (bash,curl, less, logrotate, nano, vim) for easier management. It also supports sending to external SMTP servers..
This image assumes that you are using a reverse proxy such as jwilder/nginx-proxy and optionally the Let's Encrypt Proxy Companion @ https://github.com/JrCs/docker-letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion in order to serve your pages. However, it will run just fine on it's own if you map appropriate ports. See the examples folder for a docker-compose.yml that does not rely on a reverse proxy.
You will also need an external MariaDB container
Automated builds of the image are available on Docker Hub and is the recommended method of installation.
docker pull ryanwclark/cachet-
The quickest way to get started is using docker-compose. See the examples folder for a working docker-compose.yml that can be modified for development or production use.
-
Set various environment variables to understand the capabilities of this image.
-
Map persistent storage for access to configuration and data files for backup.
-
Make networking ports available for public access if necessary
The first boot can take from 2 minutes - 5 minutes depending on your CPU to setup the proper schemas.
Login to the web server and enter in your admin email address, admin password and start configuring the system!
The following directories are used for configuration and can be mapped for persistent storage.
| Directory | Description |
|---|---|
/www/logs |
Nginx and PHP Log files |
/assets/custom |
(Optional) Copy source code over existing source code in /www/html upon container start. Use exact file/folder structure |
/assets/custom-scripts |
(Optional) If you want to execute custom scripting, place scripts here with extension .sh |
/www/html |
(Optional) If you want to expose the cachet sourcecode and enable Self Updating, expose this volume |
| *OR | |
/data |
Hold onto your persistent sessions and cache between container restarts |
