Docker-compose

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.

    version: "3.3"
    services:

        nodebb:
            image: elestio/nodebb:latest
            restart: always
            environment:
                URL: "[***]{DOMAIN}"
                DATABASE: "redis"
                DB_NAME: "0"
                DB_HOST: "redis"
                DB_PORT: "8443"
            volumes:
                - ./nodebb-files:/usr/src/app/public/uploads
                # - ./nodebb-config/config.json:/usr/src/app/config.json
                - ./entrypoint.sh:/usr/src/app/entrypoint.sh
            ports:
                - "172.17.0.1:4567:4567"

        redis:
            image: redis
            restart: always
            command: redis-server --requirepass ${REDIS_PASSWORD}
            volumes:
                - ./nodebb-data:/data
            ports:
                - "172.17.0.1:6379:6379"

Environment variables

Maintenance

Logging

The Elestio NodeBB Docker image sends the container logs to stdout. To view the logs, you can use the following command:

docker-compose logs -f

To stop the stack you can use the following command:

docker-compose down

Backup and Restore with Docker Compose

To make backup and restore operations easier, we are using folder volume mounts. You can simply stop your stack with docker-compose down, then backup all the files and subfolders in the folder near the docker-compose.yml file.

Creating a ZIP Archive For example, if you want to create a ZIP archive, navigate to the folder where you have your docker-compose.yml file and use this command:

zip -r myarchive.zip .

Restoring from ZIP Archive To restore from a ZIP archive, unzip the archive into the original folder using the following command:

unzip myarchive.zip -d /path/to/original/folder

Starting Your Stack Once your backup is complete, you can start your stack again with the following command:

docker-compose up -d

That's it! With these simple steps, you can easily backup and restore your data volumes using Docker Compose.
