# A primitive set of scripts to deploy tt-rss via docker-compose
**EXPERIMENTAL STUFF, DON'T USE IN PRODUCTION YET UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING**
The idea is to provide tt-rss working (and updating) out of the box
with minimal fuss.
The general outline of the configuration is as follows:
- three linked containers (frontend: caddy, database: pgsql, application: php/fpm)
- caddy has its http port exposed to the outside
- feed updating is done via embedded cron job, every 15 minutes
- tt-rss source updates from git master repository on container restart
- schema is installed automatically if it is missing
- config.php is generated if it is missing
- SSL termination not included, use a sidecar container for that (TODO)
- tt-rss code is stored on a persistent volume so plugins, etc. could be easily added
### Installation
#### Check out scripts from Git:
```
git clone https://git.tt-rss.org/fox/ttrss-docker-compose.git ttrss-docker && cd ttrss-docker
```
#### Edit ``.env`` and/or ``docker-compose.yml`` if necessary
You will probably have to edit ``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.
#### Build and start the container
``docker-compose up``
See docker-compose documentation for more information and available options.
### Updating
Restarting the container will update the source from origin repository. If database needs to be updated,
tt-rss will prompt you to do so on next page refresh.
### Using SSL with Letsencrypt (untested!)
- ``HTTP_HOST`` in ``.env`` should be set to a valid hostname (i.e. no localhost or IP address)
- comment out ``web`` container, uncomment ``web-ssl`` in ``docker-compose.yml``
- ports 80 and 443 should be externally accessible i.e. not blocked by firewall and/or conflicting with host services
### How do I add plugins and themes?
By default, tt-rss code is stored on a persistent docker volume (``app``). You can find
its location like this:
``docker volume inspect ttrss-docker_app | grep Mountpoint``
Alternatively, you can mount any host directory as ``/var/www/html`` by updating ``docker-compose.yml``, i.e.:
```
volumes:
- app:/var/www/html
```
Replace with:
```
volumes:
- /opt/tt-rss:/var/www/html
```
Copy and/or git clone any third party plugins into ``plugins.local`` as usual.
### How do I put this container behind a reverse proxy?
A common pattern is shared nginx doing SSL termination, etc.
```
location /tt-rss/ {
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8280/tt-rss/;
break;
}
```
You will need to set ``SELF_URL_PATH`` to a correct (i.e. visible from the outside) value in ``config.php`` inside the container.
### TODO
- support for sending mail somehow (smtp mailer?)
- properly deal with ``SELF_URL_PATH``
