Docker Install

The below example shows running a MongoDB container and linking it to a trudesk container.

Note: In this example all container storage is located on the host. In order to run trudesk in a multi-host container cluster, you will require a shared storage. (ex: NFS)

Storage - Create directories on host

$ mkdir -p /data/db
$ mkdir -p /data/configdb
$ mkdir -p /data/trudesk/plugins
$ mkdir -p /data/trudesk/uploads

MongoDB Container

The following command will deploy a mongodb 5 docker container with the name mongodb, which we will use to link to our trudesk container.

$ docker run --name mongodb \
    -v /data/db:/data/db \
    -v /data/configdb:/data/configdb \
    -d mongo:5.0

Trudesk Container

The following command will deploy a trudesk 1.2 docker container. The container will expose a NodePort to access the container.

Get latest updated image of 1.2

$ docker pull polonel/trudesk:1.2

$ docker run --name trudesk --link mongodb:mongodb \
    -v /data/trudesk/uploads:/usr/src/trudesk/public/uploads \
    -v /data/trudesk/plugins:/usr/src/trudesk/plugins \
    -v /data/trudesk/backups:/usr/src/trudesk/backups \
    -e NODE_ENV=production \
    -e TRUDESK_DOCKER=true \
    -e TD_MONGODB_SERVER=mongodb -e TD_MONGODB_DATABASE=trudesk \
    -P -d polonel/trudesk:$TAG

Accessing the trudesk container

Once the containers are running, access the trudesk container via the assigned NodePort. The following command will list the two running containers. Notice under the ports column the NodePort - 32772. This will allow access to the trudesk container via http://{hostip}:32772

$ docker ps
