Description

Official Docker container for Mayan EDMS

Deploying

Initialize the container:

docker run --rm -v mayan_media:/var/lib/mayan -v mayan_settings:/etc/mayan mayanedms/mayanedms mayan:init

Launch the container:

docker run -d --name mayan-edms --restart=always -p 80:80 -v mayan_media:/var/lib/mayan -v mayan_settings:/etc/mayan mayanedms/mayanedms

The container will be available by browsing to http://127.0.0.1

All files will be stored in the following two volumes:

• mayan_media
• mayan_settings

If another web server is running on port 80 use a different port in the -p option, ie: -p 81:80.

Stopping and starting

To stop the container use:

docker stop mayan-edms

To start the container again:

docker start mayan-edms

Configuring

To edit the settings file, check the physical location of the mayan_settings volume using:

docker volume inspect mayan_settings

Which should produce an output similar to this one:

[
    {
        "Name": "mayan_settings",
        "Driver": "local",
        "Mountpoint": "/var/lib/docker/volumes/mayan_settings/_data",
        "Labels": null,
        "Scope": "local"
    }
]

In this case the physical location of the mayan_settings volume is /var/lib/docker/volumes/mayan_settings/_data. Edit the settings with your favorite editor:

sudo vi /var/lib/docker/volumes/mayan_settings/_data/local.py

Backups

To backup the existing data, check the physical location of the mayan_media volume using:

docker volume inspect mayan_media

Which should produce an output similar to this one:

[
    {
        "Name": "mayan_settings",
        "Driver": "local",
        "Mountpoint": "/var/lib/docker/volumes/mayan_media/_data",
        "Labels": null,
        "Scope": "local"
    }
]

Only the db.sqlite3 file and the document_storage folders need to be backed up:

sudo tar -zcvf backup.tar.gz /var/lib/docker/volumes/mayan_media/_data/document_storage /var/lib/docker/volumes/mayan_media/_data/db.sqlite3
sudo chown `whoami` backup.tar.gz

Restore

Uncompress the archive in the original docker volume using:

sudo tar -xvzf backup.tar.gz -C /

Building the image

Clone the repository with:

git clone https://gitlab.com/mayan-edms/mayan-edms-docker.git

Change to the directory of the cloned repository:

cd mayan-edms-docker

Execute Docker's build command:

docker build -t mayanedms/mayanedms .

Build the image using an apt cacher:

docker build -t mayanedms/mayanedms --build-arg APT_PROXY=172.18.0.1 .
