Dockerfile for Freeder

IMPORTANT NOTE : This repo is to be considered as outdated and the images available in the Freeder repo should be used as reference instead. As of writing this, they are available in the Freeedr-ci repo, and are used for unit testing.

Based on Dockerfile for FreshRSS.

This file is destined to configure a virtual environment for Freeeder. It's based on Centos 6 as it is shipped with PHP 5.3.

Please note it's only for developers or testing! It's assumed you know Docker and you have already installed it on your computer. If it's not, please refer to the official website.

If you have troubles to use this image and answer is NOT in this document, feel free to contact me at [email protected] (or any member of the FreederTeam).

In details

Get the Freeder image

First get the Docker image on your PC:

$ git clone https://github.com/FreederTeam/docker-freeder.git docker-freeder
$ docker build -t freederteam/freeder docker-freeder

Get Freeder

Note image does NOT include Freeder source code! You should first get the code from Github:

$ git clone https://github.com/FreederTeam/Freeder.git Freeder

Run a Freeder container

To use Freeder image, you should run it and mount your local Freeder directory in the corresponding running container. Do not forgive to map port 8080 (or anyone else) on port 80:

$ docker run -t -i -v /path/to/Freeder:/var/www/html/Freeder -p 8080:80 freederteam/freeder

Now, you have access to a shell where you can do whatever you want (you have a root access!). In a basic usage, you should not have need of this shell. Just keep it open and read the next section :)

• apache UID is 1000 and GID is 100. Note that you can have to change these values to match with owner of source code. To do that: usermod -u NEW_UID -g NEW_GID apache
• You have access to Freeder source code in /var/www/html (be careful, if you change it, it is changed on the host OS too)
• If you want to install new packages, remember you use a Centos: yum install command is your friend…

Install Freeder

Last step is to install Freeder. Don't worry, you will not have to do that next time.

1. Open a web browser on 127.0.0.1:8080/Freeder
2. Follow the different steps.
3. Once Freeder is installed, enjoy!

Configure an alias

Command line to start Freeder container is a bit long. You can add an alias in your ~/.bashrc:

alias start-freeder='docker run -t -i -v /path/to/Freeder:/var/www/html/Freeder -p 8080:80 freederteam/freeder'

Remember to reload ~/.bashrc information with source ~/.bashrc.

Keep container in background

You may have no need of a shell. You can change -t argument by -d:

alias start-freeder='docker run -d -i -v /path/to/Freeder:/var/www/html/Freeder -p 8080:80 freederteam/freeder'
