Image details

• The image contains Taiga backend and Taiga frontend.
• Frontend and backend are served by a Nginx server instance running on port 80.
• LDAP plugin from https://github.com/ensky/taiga-contrib-ldap-auth is integrated and can be enabled if required.
• The Nginx server instance accepts HTTP connections only (no HTTPS), but you can create an own image that enables HTTPS by adjusting the nginx.conf template.
• PostgreSQL database server is not included, i.e. a db server instance is expected to be running elsewhere (either in a different container that is linked, or hosted somewhere else).
• (Open-)LDAP server is not included.
• The image is published on Dockerhub as m00re/taiga

Example usage with docker-compose

The following docker-compose.yml recipe shows how you can easily start your own Taiga instance, in combination with an own PostgreSQL container image. The important directories of both containers are linked as volumes, for easy backup.

postgres:
  image: postgres:9.6.1-alpine
  environment:
    - POSTGRES_DB=taiga
    - POSTGRES_USER=taiga
    - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=3MwR95cj9YAP7zm2lKrU
  volumes:
    - taiga-db:/var/lib/postgresql/data

taiga:
  image: m00re/taiga
  ports:
    - 80:80
  links:
    - postgres
  environment:
    - TAIGA_HOSTNAME=localhost
    - TAIGA_DB_HOST=postgres
    - TAIGA_DB_NAME=taiga
    - TAIGA_DB_USER=taiga
    - TAIGA_DB_PASSWORD=3MwR95cj9YAP7zm2lKrU
    - TAIGA_SECRET_KEY=<YOUR_SECRET_KEY_HERE>
    - TAIGA_PUBLIC_REGISTER_ENABLED=true
    - TAIGA_BACKEND_DEBUG=false
    - TAIGA_FRONTEND_DEBUG=false
    - TAIGA_FEEDBACK_ENABLED=false
    - TAIGA_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=de
    - TAIGA_SSL=false
    - TAIGA_DEFAULT_THEME=material-design
    - LDAP_ENABLE=false
  volumes:
    - taiga-media:/taiga.io/taiga-back/media

To bring both up, simply type:

docker-compose up -d
