Installation

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.

Usage

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.

Deploy on the server

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.

Support

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