+# Installing in Docker
+
+## Installation
+
+This guide will show you how to get akkoma working in a docker container,
+if you want isolation, or if you run a distribution not supported by the OTP
+releases.
+
+### Prepare the system
+
+* Install docker and docker-compose
+  * [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) 
+  * [Docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
+  * This will usually just be a repository installation and a package manager invocation.
+* Clone the akkoma repository
+  * `git clone https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma.git -b stable`
+  * `cd akkoma`
+
+### Set up basic configuration
+
+```bash
+cp docker-resources/env.example .env
+echo "DOCKER_USER=$(id -u):$(id -g)" >> .env
+```
+
+This probably won't need to be changed, it's only there to set basic environment
+variables for the docker-compose file.
+
+### Building the container
+
+The container provided is a thin wrapper around akkoma's dependencies, 
+it does not contain the code itself. This is to allow for easy updates
+and debugging if required.
+
+```bash
+./docker-resources/build.sh
+```
+
+This will generate a container called `akkoma` which we can use
+in our compose environment.
+
+### Generating your instance
+
+```bash
+mkdir pgdata
+# if you want to use caddy
+mkdir caddy-data
+mkdir caddy-config
+./docker-resources/manage.sh mix deps.get
+./docker-resources/manage.sh mix compile
+./docker-resources/manage.sh mix pleroma.instance gen
+```
+
+This will ask you a few questions - the defaults are fine for most things,
+the database hostname is `db`, and you will want to set the ip to `0.0.0.0`.
+
+Now we'll want to copy over the config it just created
+
+```bash
+cp config/generated_config.exs config/prod.secret.exs
+```
+
+### Setting up the database 
+
+We need to run a few commands on the database container, this isn't too bad
+
+```bash
+docker-compose run --rm --user akkoma -d db 
+# Note down the name it gives here, it will be something like akkoma_db_run
+docker-compose run --rm akkoma psql -h db -U akkoma -f config/setup_db.psql
+docker stop akkoma_db_run # Replace with the name you noted down
+```
+
+Now we can actually run our migrations
+
+```bash
+./docker-resources/manage.sh mix ecto.migrate
+# this will recompile your files at the same time, since we changed the config
+```
+
+### Start the server
+
+We're going to run it in the foreground on the first run, just to make sure
+everything start up.
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up
+```
+
+If everything went well, you should be able to access your instance at http://localhost:4000
+
+You can `ctrl-c` out of the docker-compose now to shutdown the server.
+
+### Running in the background
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+### Create your first user
+
+If your instance is up and running, you can create your first user with administrative rights with the following task:
+
+```shell
+./docker-resources/manage.sh mix pleroma.user new MY_USERNAME MY_EMAIL@SOMEWHERE --admin
+```
+
+And follow the prompts 
+
+### Reverse proxies
+
+This is a tad more complex in docker than on the host itself. It
+
+You've got two options. 
+
+#### Running caddy in a container
+
+This is by far the easiest option. It'll handle HTTPS and all that for you. 
+
+```bash
+cp docker-resources/Caddyfile.example docker-resources/Caddyfile
+```
+
+Then edit the TLD in your caddyfile to the domain you're serving on.
+
+Uncomment the `caddy` section in the docker-compose file,
+then run `docker-compose up -d` again.
+
+#### Running a reverse proxy on the host
+
+If you want, you can also run the reverse proxy on the host. This is a bit more complex, but it's also more flexible.
+
+Follow the guides for source install for your distribution of choice, or adapt
+as needed. Your standard setup can be found in the [Debian Guide](../debian_based_en/#nginx)
+
+### You're done!
+
+All that's left is to set up your frontends. 
+
+The standard from-source commands will apply to you, just make sure you
+prefix them with `./docker-resources/manage.sh`!
+
+{! installation/frontends.include !}
+
+### Updating Docker Installs

+```bash
+git pull
+./docker-resources/build.sh
+./docker-resources/manage.sh mix deps.get
+./docker-resources/manage.sh mix compile
+./docker-resources/manage.sh mix ecto.migrate
