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.
