Deploy FreshRSS with Docker
- See also:
Install Docker
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.
# 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.
# 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/
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/
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
# 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
sudo docker exec --user apache -it freshrss php ./cli/list-users.php
See the CLI documentation 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
# 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 or nginx, with HTTPS, for instance using Let’s Encrypt.
