This is the most basic way to run Chevereto using Docker. It refers to running Chevereto using Docker without the extra provisions of Chevereto Docker (NGINX ingress proxy, CloudFlare integration).
Image building is recommended for Chevereto paid edition. Skip to Run (free edition) if you are using Chevereto free edition or if you want to upgrade to paid edition within the application itself.
Note
If you can't build the paid image you can use the free edition image and upgrade to paid within the application itself. To do this, pass the environment CHEVERETO_SERVICING=server
to the container runtime and go to /dashboard?license
to enter the license key and proceed with the upgrading process. You will also need to setup a volume for the application files.
Clone the chevereto/docker repository and create an .env
file with your license key:
CHEVERETO_LICENSE_KEY=your_license_key
Run the following command to create the Chevereto image:
make image
By running the above command you will generate the following tags:
chevereto:latest
chevereto:4
chevereto:4.2
chevereto:4.2.0
To upgrade you need to (1) Sync repository, (2) Re-build the container image, and (3) Update Chevereto instances.
Sync latest changes from chevereto/docker repository:
make sync
Note: If there's a new branch (for example 4.2) switch to that branch running the following command:
git switch 4.2
make image
Down the container:
docker stop --name chevereto
docker rm --name chevereto
Then re-up the container using the same command you used to run it the first time.
To run chevereto.com (paid edition) you need to pass the environment targeting your private build image, in this example chevereto:latest
.
Note: For running this command you need to fill your own database credentials.
docker run -d \
--name chevereto \
-p 80:80 \
-e CHEVERETO_DB_HOST=database \
-e CHEVERETO_DB_USER=chevereto \
-e CHEVERETO_DB_PASS=user_database_password \
-e CHEVERETO_DB_PORT=3306 \
-e CHEVERETO_DB_NAME=chevereto \
-e CHEVERETO_MAX_POST_SIZE=2G \
-e CHEVERETO_MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE=2G \
-v /var/www/html/images/ \
chevereto:latest
To run chevereto/chevereto (Chevereto free edition) you need to pass the environment targeting one of its container image mirrors:
ghcr.io/chevereto/chevereto:latest
(GitHub Container Registry)chevereto/chevereto:latest
(DockerHub)
When using CHEVERETO_SERVICING=docker
(default) it behaves as a pure docker container, meaning that the application filesystem persists. When using CHEVERETO_SERVICING=server
you need to mount the application directory to persist the filesystem upgrades.
Note: For running this command you need to fill your own database credentials.
docker run -d \
--name chevereto \
-p 80:80 \
-e CHEVERETO_DB_HOST=database \
-e CHEVERETO_DB_USER=chevereto \
-e CHEVERETO_DB_PASS=user_database_password \
-e CHEVERETO_DB_PORT=3306 \
-e CHEVERETO_DB_NAME=chevereto \
-e CHEVERETO_MAX_POST_SIZE=2G \
-e CHEVERETO_MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE=2G \
-v /var/www/html/images/ \
ghcr.io/chevereto/chevereto:latest
If you want to run the free edition and manage the application upgrade within the application itself you need to pass -e CHEVERETO_SERVICING=server
and setup a volume for the application files:
Note: For running this command you need to fill your own database credentials.
docker run -d \
--name chevereto \
-p 80:80 \
-e CHEVERETO_DB_HOST=database \
-e CHEVERETO_DB_USER=chevereto \
-e CHEVERETO_DB_PASS=user_database_password \
-e CHEVERETO_DB_PORT=3306 \
-e CHEVERETO_DB_NAME=chevereto \
-e CHEVERETO_MAX_POST_SIZE=2G \
-e CHEVERETO_MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE=2G \
-e CHEVERETO_SERVICING=server \
-v /var/www/html/images/ \
-v /var/www/html/ \
