Docker image

This directory contains the files that are used to build the official Docker image on https://hub.docker.com/r/etherpad/etherpad.

Rebuilding with custom settings

In order to use a personalized settings file, you will have to rebuild your image.

All of these instructions are as a member of the docker group.

Prepare your custom settings.json file:

cd <BASEDIR>/docker
cp ../settings.json.template settings.json
[ further edit your settings.json as needed]

Each configuration parameter can also be set via an environment variable, using the syntax "${ENV_VAR}" or "${ENV_VAR:default_value}". For details, refer to settings.json.template.

Build the version you prefer:

# builds latest development version
docker build --tag <YOUR_USERNAME>/etherpad .

# builds latest stable version
docker build --build-arg ETHERPAD_VERSION=master --tag <YOUR_USERNAME>/etherpad .

# builds a specific version
docker build --build-arg ETHERPAD_VERSION=1.7.5 --tag <YOUR_USERNAME>/etherpad .

# builds a specific git hash
docker build --build-arg ETHERPAD_VERSION=4c45ac3cb1ae --tag <YOUR_USERNAME>/etherpad .
