# Deploy FreshRSS with Docker
* See also:
* https://hub.docker.com/r/freshrss/freshrss/
* https://cloud.docker.com/app/freshrss/repository/docker/freshrss/freshrss
## Install Docker
```sh
curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com/ -o get-docker.sh
sh get-docker.sh
```
## Optional: Build Docker image of FreshRSS
Optional, as a *less recent* online image can be automatically fetched during the next step (run),
but online images are not available for as many platforms as if you build yourself.
```sh
# First time only
git clone https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS.git
cd ./FreshRSS/
git pull
sudo docker pull alpine:3.7
sudo docker build --tag freshrss/freshrss -f Docker/Dockerfile .
```
## Run FreshRSS
Example using SQLite, and exposing FreshRSS on port 8080. You may have to adapt the network parameters to fit your needs.
```sh
# You can optionally run from the directory containing the FreshRSS source code:
cd ./FreshRSS/
# The data will be saved on the host in `./data/`
mkdir -p ./data/
sudo docker run -dit --restart unless-stopped --log-opt max-size=10m \
-v $(pwd)/data:/var/www/FreshRSS/data \
-p 8080:80 \
--name freshrss freshrss/freshrss
```
### Examples with external databases
You may want to use other link methods such as Docker bridges, and use Docker volumes for the data, but here are some simple examples:
#### MySQL
See https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql/
```sh
sudo docker run -d -v /path/to/mysql-data:/var/lib/mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=rootpass -e MYSQL_DATABASE=freshrss -e MYSQL_USER=freshrss -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=pass --name mysql mysql
sudo docker run -dit --restart unless-stopped --log-opt max-size=10m \
-v $(pwd)/data:/var/www/FreshRSS/data \
--link mysql -p 8080:80 \
--name freshrss freshrss/freshrss
```
#### PostgreSQL
See https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres/
```sh
sudo docker run -d -v /path/to/pgsql-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data -e POSTGRES_DB=freshrss -e POSTGRES_USER=freshrss -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=pass --name postgres postgres
sudo docker run -dit --restart unless-stopped --log-opt max-size=10m \
-v $(pwd)/data:/var/www/FreshRSS/data \
--link postgres -p 8080:80 \
--name freshrss freshrss/freshrss
```
## Update
```sh
# Rebuild an image (see build section above) or get a new online version:
sudo docker pull freshrss/freshrss
# And then
sudo docker stop freshrss
sudo docker rename freshrss freshrss_old
# See the run section above for the full command
sudo docker run ...
# If everything is working, delete the old container
sudo docker rm freshrss_old
```
## Command line
```sh
sudo docker exec --user apache -it freshrss php ./cli/list-users.php
```
See the [CLI documentation ](../cli/ ) for all the other commands.
### Cron job to refresh feeds
Set a cron job up on your host machine, calling the `actualize_script.php` inside the FreshRSS Docker instance.
#### Example on Debian / Ubuntu
Create `/etc/cron.d/FreshRSS` with:
```
7,37 * * * * root docker exec --user apache -it freshrss php ./app/actualize_script.php > /tmp/FreshRSS.log 2>& 1
```
## Debugging
```sh
# See FreshRSS data (it is on the host)
cd ./data/
# See Web server logs
sudo docker logs -f freshrss
# Enter inside FreshRSS docker container
sudo docker exec -it freshrss sh
## See FreshRSS root inside the container
ls /var/www/FreshRSS/
```
## Deployment in production
Use a reverse proxy on your host server, such as [Træfik ](https://traefik.io/ ) or [nginx ](https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/web-server/reverse-proxy/ ),
with HTTPS, for instance using [Let’s Encrypt ](https://letsencrypt.org/ ).
