k2death / pia-docker

Killian Kemps (https://github.com/KillianKemps) has created an awesome Docker configuration to setup a Docker environment for production purpose. Thanks to Killian it is much easier now to run PIA. A simple docker-compose up does everything and gives a running website : front-end, back-end and database.

Getting started

Here is Docker-Compose configuration for production purpose. Everything is automated from creating containers to setting up the database. A simple docker-compose up does everything and gives a running website : front-end, back-end and database. However, you still have to add the back-end URL on the front-end interface as we don't see a way to automate it. We include the Dockerfiles so you can build the images yourself. The docker-compose.yml is here for demonstration purpose. You may want to use Docker with Kubernetes for example for production.

Prerequisites

1. Get and install Docker https://www.docker.com/get-docker on your machine
2. Download pia-docker.zip and unzip it.

Run the full app through Docker-Compose for production

1. Fill the environment variables in docker-compose.yml
2. Open a shell and switch to the pia-docker directory
3. Run the containers by typing docker-compose up into the shell
4. Access the website with localhost:8080 or yourdomain.net:8080
