# Dockerized tt-rss using docker-compose
The idea is to provide tt-rss working (and updating) out of the box with minimal fuss.
- [FAQ ](https://git.tt-rss.org/fox/ttrss-docker-compose.wiki.git/tree/Home.md#faq )
General outline of the configuration is as follows:
- separate containers (frontend: nginx, database: pgsql, app and updater: php/fpm)
- tt-rss and plugins update from git master repository on container restart
- tt-rss source code is stored on a persistent volume so plugins, etc. could be easily added
- database schema is updated automatically
- nginx has its http port exposed to the outside
- feed updates are handled via update daemon started in a separate container (`updater`)
- optional `backups` container which performs tt-rss database backup once a week
### Installation
```sh
git clone https://git.tt-rss.org/fox/ttrss-docker-compose.git ttrss-docker & & cd ttrss-docker
```
#### Edit configuration files
Configuration is done primarily through the [environment ](https://git.tt-rss.org/fox/ttrss-docker-compose.wiki.git/tree/Home.md#how-do-i-set-global-configuration-options ). Copy ``.env-dist`` to ``.env`` and edit any relevant variables you need changed.
You will likely have to change ``TTRSS_SELF_URL_PATH`` which should equal fully qualified tt-rss
URL as seen when opening it in your web browser. If this field is set incorrectly, you will
likely see the correct value in the tt-rss fatal error message.
Legacy configuration file (`config.php`) is not created automatically, if you need it, copy it from `config.php-dist` manually.
By default, frontend container binds to `localhost` port `8280` . If you want the container to be
accessible on the net, without using a reverse proxy sharing same host, you will need to
remove ``127.0.0.1:`` from ``HTTP_PORT`` variable in ``.env``.
Please don't rename the services inside `docker-compose.yml` unless you know what you're doing. Web container expects application container to be named `app` , if you rename it and it's not accessible via Docker DNS as `http://app` you will run into 502 errors on startup.
#### Build and start the container
```sh
docker-compose up --build -d
```
See docker-compose documentation for more information and available options.
#### Login credentials
You can set both internal 'admin' user password or, alternatively, create a separate user with necessary permissions
on first launch through the environment, see `.env-dist` for more information.
### Updating
Restarting the container will update tt-rss from the origin repository. If database needs to be updated,
tt-rss will prompt you to do so on next page refresh. Normally this happens automatically on container startup.
#### Updating container scripts
Latest tt-rss source code expects latest container scripts and vice versa. Updating both is a good idea.
1. Stop the containers: ``docker-compose down && docker-compose rm``
2. Update scripts from git: ``git pull origin master`` and apply any necessary modifications to ``.env``, etc.
3. Rebuild and start the containers: ``docker-compose up --build``
