docker

apt

Hi, Just discovered Audomad and loving the simplicity but powerful feature set. I'm trying it out in docker but can't find a way to mount the file structure from within the docker container as a volume so I can access the files direct for editing and backup purposes.

its not/config

Any help grateful.

apt Hi there and welcome. You have to create a Docker volume first as follows:

docker volume create --driver local --opt device="/some/path" --opt type=none --opt o=bind yourvolume

The command above will create a volume with the name "yourvolume" and uses the directory "/some/path" to store all data.

Now you can run the container:

docker run -dp 80:80 -v yourvolume:/app --name mysite automad/automad

You should then be able to access the installation in /some/path on your host machine.

apt

Thanks I’ll give it a go.

ok so I've set that up but getting a 403 error when visiting the site. Do I need to populate my directory that I have mapped to the volume with config files? I 'assumed' these would be populated automatically.

Thanks

apt Hi, when getting a 403, the volume was not properly created. This error basically shows up when you bind just a directory to /app instead of a volume.

When you bind a Docker volume instead of a directory, Docker will copy all required files from /app to the volume when you run the container the first time. You don't need to copy anything. Just make sure the volume is ok.

Hi.
I have recently started using Docker with Portainer.
And I am using SSH to install new apps.
I would appreciate any help in creating a docker-compose.yaml file.
This is my basic setup-file and need help with the directory structure/names, and check for completeness :
version: "3.3"
services:
automad:
image: automad/automad
container_name: automad
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=America/New_York
volumes:
- /mnt/tank2/apps/automad/config:/var/www/html/config
- /mnt/tank2/apps/automad/pages:/var/www/html/pages
- /mnt/tank2/apps/automad/shared:/var/www/html/shared
- /mnt/tank2/apps/automad/cache:/var/www/html/cache
