mediagoblin-docker's Issues

Documentation: Persistance & docker-compose

Hi there and thanks for the docker image. Attempting to run a persistent media-goblin service, I found that I had to make the following adjustments, and I wanted to share them:

There are some things to be done:

• Remove $mediadir/media/public/public before container start. If this symlink exists, the container will throw an error on startup
• mount-bind mediagoblin.db
• mount-bind datadir
• if you want, mount-bind mediagoblin_local.ini

I created a gist for this: https://gist.github.com/praul/77bdee81a6bb16b609954879e96ec8cd

It works with this docker-compose.yml and this startup script. You have to have the same paths in docker-compose and startup.sh. It is somewhat of a workaround with this script, but I wanted to leave the image untouched.

Note: For some reason, the user activation link is not shown anymore in logs. You have to login with admin:admin and edit/approve users there.

startup.sh:

#!/bin/bash
mediadir=/docker/user/datas/mediagoblin/media
dbdir=/docker/user/datas/mediagoblin/db

docker-compose down --remove-orphans
mkdir "$mediadir" && chmod 777 "$mediadir"
rm "$mediadir/media/public/public"
touch "$dbdir/mediagoblin.db" && chmod 777 "$dbdir/mediagoblin.db"
docker-compose up -d

Persistent install?

I am trying to figure out how to install this with a persistent copy of all the important files outside of the container. I tried simply mapping /srv/mediagoblin.example.org/mediagoblin to an external directory but that caused the install to fail. As /srv/mediagoblin.example.org/mediagoblin only exists in the container, if I try and update the container will that not get destroyed? Even though my content will be safe I believe the database of what is actually in Mediagoblin along with users etc will be destroyed. Am I missing something?

Where are user accounts stored?

Hello,

I'm new to media goblin, and this is probably a total noob question. I'm running media goblin in unRAID (with this Docker container). I've mapped the media path, but I'm wondering where the user accounts are stored, and how I can make sure they are persisted through container upgrades. Maybe I need more documentation on "how to maintain this Docker image," and I'm just not able to find it. Any help or pointers are appreciated!

EDIT: Twice now I've changed mounted paths on my container and it's blown away my user account and admin password. How do I avoid that?

I also left a comment on this pull request. I think I'm running into a bug.. https://github.com/mtlynch/mediagoblin-docker/pull/46/files#diff-8742b88fc99029dc5d3859a7242c5208R20

Thank you!
