A complete Docker installation of Booktype.

1. Installation
2. Usage
3. Deploy on the server
4. Support

We assume that you have Git and Docker installed. You will also need docker-compose installed.

There are only two commands you need to execute:

• git clone https://github.com/booktype/booktype-docker.git
• cd booktype-docker/prod/ && sudo docker-compose up -d

When Docker is ready, you should see the output in the terminal:

Creating prod_rabbit_1 ... done
Creating prod_redis_1  ... done
Creating prod_db_1     ... done
Creating prod_web_1    ... done

Then you can open your web browser on the localhost at http://127.0.0.1:8000/ and log into the Booktype instance with the username admin and password admin. Obviously this is not secure, and you should not deploy this configuration on a public-facing server without at least changing the admin password in the web/scripts/manage_py.sh file.

Please read the Docker and docker-compose documentation.

Here are some useful commands:

• docker-compose up -d - runs all required containers (listed in docker-compose.yml) in detached mode
• docker ps - list running containers
• docker ps -a - list all containers
• docker exec -it CONTAINER_ID /bin/bash - run a command in a running container in interactive mode
• docker-compose down - stops containers and removes containers, networks, volumes, and images created by up
• docker-compose down --volume - as the previous command, but also removes external volumes.

The current Docker installation is not tested on production servers and may not be stable. If you need to deploy Booktype on a server, please read the user manual, or the deployment guide, or email contact@booktype.pro for assistance.

Please ask questions about Booktype on Docker in the Booktype support forum.
