Create FoundKey instance with Docker Compose

This guide describes how to install and setup FoundKey with Docker Compose.

WARNING: Never change the domain name (hostname) of an instance once you start using it!

Requirements

  • Docker or Podman
  • Docker Compose plugin (or podman-compose)

If using Podman, replace docker with podman. Commands using docker compose should be replaced with podman-compose.

You may need to prefix docker commands with sudo unless your user is in the docker group or you are running Docker in rootless mode.

Get the repository

git clone https://akkoma.dev/FoundKeyGang/FoundKey.git
cd FoundKey

To make it easier to perform your own changes on top, we suggest making a branch based on the latest tag. In this example, we'll use v13.0.0-preview1 as the tag to check out and my-branch as the branch name.

git checkout tags/v13.0.0-preview1 -b my-branch

Configure

Copy example configuration files with following:

cp .config/docker_example.yml .config/default.yml
cp .config/docker_example.env .config/docker.env

Edit default.yml and docker.env according to the instructions in the files. You will need to set the database host to db and Redis host to redis in order to use the internal container network for these services.

Edit docker-compose.yml if necessary. (e.g. if you want to change the port). If you are using SELinux (eg. you're on Fedora or a RHEL derivative), you'll want to add the Z mount flag to the volume mounts to allow the containers to access the contents of those volumes.

Also check out the Configure Foundkey section in the ordinary installation instructions.

Build and initialize

The following command will build FoundKey and initialize the database. This will take some time.

docker compose build
docker compose run --rm web yarn run init

Launch

You can start FoundKey with the following command:

docker compose up -d

In case you are encountering issues, you can run docker compose logs -f to get the log output of the running containers.

How to update your FoundKey server

When updating, be sure to check the release notes to know in advance the changes and whether or not additional work is required (in most cases, it is not).

To update your branch to the latest tag (in this example v13.0.0-preview2), you can do the following:

git fetch -t

# Use --squash if you want to merge all of the changes in the tag into a single commit.
# Useful if you have made additional changes.
git merge tags/v13.0.0-preview2

# Rebuild and restart the docker container.
docker compose build
docker compose down && docker compose up -d

It may take some time depending on the contents of the update and the size of the database.

How to execute CLI commands

docker compose run --rm web node packages/backend/built/tools/foo bar
