alf.io-docker

Dockerfiles to create all docker images required to run an instance of alf.io

Pre-requisite

Install Docker.

On Mac or Windows install and run also Boot2Docker

TL;DR, I just want an instance up-and-running

Download all alf.io docker images from docker hub

docker pull exteso/alfio-db
docker pull exteso/alfio-web
docker pull tutum/haproxy

Launch Alf.io

Start an empty DB instance

docker run --name alfio-db -e DOCKER_DB_NAME=postgres -e POSTGRES_USERNAME=postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=alfiopassword -d exteso/alfio-db

Start the alf.io web application

docker run --name alfio-web --link alfio-db:db -d exteso/alfio-web

• Note: alfio-web requires https when accessing the web gui, thus you have to configure a proxy with SSL certificate in front of it. Only for TEST purposes, you can start alfio-web in http-only mode using the following command:

  docker run --name alfio-web --link alfio-db:db -e spring.profiles.active=http -d exteso/alfio-web
  

Start a proxy

Create a .pem certificate and use it in the next command (here it is called "servercert.pem")

docker run --name alfio-proxy --link alfio-web:web1 -e SSL_CERT="$(awk 1 ORS='\\n' servercert.pem)" -e PORT=8080 -p 443:443 -d tutum/haproxy

Create a new version of the images

Clone the alf.io-docker github repository

git clone https://github.com/exteso/alf.io-docker.git alf.io-docker
cd alf.io-docker

Make a new version of the alfio-db image and publish on docker hub registry

cd alfio-db

edit Dockerfile or make_db.sh (currently we just create the DB and USER because alf.io intialize all the tables first time it is started)

docker build --tag=exteso/alfio-db:1.3.x .
docker push exteso/alfio-db:1.3.x

Make a new version of the alfio-web image and publish on docker hub registry

cd alfio-web

edit Dockerfile to change the version of alf.io .war that you want to use in the new image

docker build --tag=exteso/alfio-web:1.3.x .
docker push exteso/alfio-web:1.3.x
