Cryptpad includes support for building a Docker image and running it to provide a Cryptpad instance. You can manage the container manually, or let Docker Compose manage it for you.
A full tutorial is available on the Cryptpad Github wiki. This document provides a brief overview.
- Configuration via .env file
- Ready for use with traffic
- Using github master for now, release 0.3.0 too old
- Creating customize folder
- Adding config.js to customize folder
- Persistance for datastore and customize folder
Run from the cryptpad source directory, keeping instance state in /var/cryptpad
:
docker build -t xwiki/cryptpad .
docker run --restart=always -d --name cryptpad -p 3000:3000 -p 3001:3001 \
-v /var/cryptpad/files:/cryptpad/datastore \
-v /var/cryptpad/customize:/cryptpad/customize \
-v /var/cryptpad/blob:/cryptpad/blob \
-v /var/cryptpad/blobstage:/cryptpad/blobstage \
-v /var/cryptpad/pins:/cryptpad/pins \
-v /var/cryptpad/tasks:/cryptpad/tasks \
-v /var/cryptpad/block:/cryptpad/block \
xwiki/cryptpad
Or, using docker-compose and the included docker-compose.yml
, keeping instance state in the current directory under ./data
:
docker-compose up -d
Set configurations Dockerfile or in .env (using docker-compose) file.
- VERSION=latest
- USE_SSL=false
- STORAGE='./storage/file'
- LOG_TO_STDOUT=true
The .env variables are read by docker-compose and forwarded to docker container.
On runtime, in bin/container-start.sh
the settings are written to the config.js
file.
The docker-compose file is preconfigured to persist folders
- cryptpad/datastore --> ./data/files
- cryptpad/customize --> ./data/customize
- cryptpad/pins --> ./data/pins
- cryptpad/blob --> ./data/blob
- cryptpad/blobstage --> ./data/blobstage
- cryptpad/tasks --> ./data/tasks
- cryptpad/block --> ./data/block
Your configuration file will be in ./data/customize/config.js
.
The data folder is ignored by git, so if you want to add your customizations to git versioning change the volume:
./customize:/cryptpad/customize:rw
The traefik proxy has builtin Let'sEncrypt for easy SSL setup. In the docker-compose file you can find preset lables for usage with traefik.
Alternativly just use plain old nginx.
