Jirafeau in Docker
Jirafeau is a small PHP application so running it inside a docker is pretty straightforward.
Get Jirafeau's docker image
Pull docker image from Docker Hub
docker pull mojo42/jirafeau
Build your own docker image
git clone https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau.git
cd Jirafeau
docker build -t mojo42/jirafeau:latest .
Run Jirafeau image
Once you have your Jirafeau's image, you can run a quick & dirty Jirafeau using:
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 mojo42/jirafeau
and then connect on locahost:8080 and proceed to installation.
An other way to run Jirafeau (in a more controlled way) is to mount your Jirafeau's reprository in /www folder so your data are outside the container. This way, you will be able to easily make backups, upgrade Jirafeau, change configuration and develop Jirafeau.
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -v$(pwd):/www mojo42/jirafeau
There are also other ways to manage your container (like docker's volumes) but this is out of the scope of this documentation.
Security
Jirafeau is run without privilidges with user id 2009. To make it able to open privilidged ports you can pass the capability, just stay with 8080 and use a reverse proxy or map the port 80:8080.
docker run -d -p 80:80 --sysctl net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=80 mojo42/jirafeau
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 mojo42/jirafeau
docker run -d -p 80:8080 mojo42/jirafeau
Few notes
- SSL is currently not enabled in docker's image for the moment
var-...folder where lives all uploaded data is protected from direct access- Image has been made using Alpine Linux with lighttpd which makes the container very light and start very quickly
