# 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 ```sh 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. ```sh git checkout tags/v13.0.0-preview1 -b my-branch ``` ## Configure Copy example configuration files with following: ```sh 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. ## Build and initialize The following command will build FoundKey and initialize the database. This will take some time. ``` shell docker compose build docker compose run --rm web yarn run init ``` ## Launch You can start FoundKey with the following command: ```sh 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](https://akkoma.dev/FoundKeyGang/FoundKey/src/branch/main/CHANGELOG.md) 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: ```sh 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 ```sh docker compose run --rm web node packages/backend/built/tools/foo bar ```
