Configuration

Environment Variables

Environment variables are the means of configuring application services, particularly with our standard Docker environment.

For our standard Docker setup variables should be defined in .env, an example can be found in .env.example (when updating please refer to this file). After updating values in .env, containers should be restarted or rebuilt. If you are using a different setup, you will need to define the relevant environment variables yourself.

Property	Description
COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME	Should be a unique name for this installation, especially if you have multiple instances of Musare on the same machine.
DOCKER_COMMAND	Should be either docker or podman.
CONTAINER_MODE	Should be either production or local.
APP_ENV	Should be either production or development.
BACKEND_DEBUG	Should be either true or false. If enabled backend will await debugger connection and trigger to start.
BACKEND_DEBUG_PORT	Backend container debug port, if enabled.
FRONTEND_CLIENT_PORT	Should be the port on which the frontend will be accessible from, usually port 80, or 443 if using SSL. Only used when running in development mode.
FRONTEND_DEV_PORT	Should be the port where Vite's dev server will be accessible from, should always be port 81 for Docker since nginx listens on port 80, and is recommended to be port 80 for non-Docker. Only used when running in development mode.
FRONTEND_PROD_DEVTOOLS	Whether to enable Vue dev tools in production builds. [^1]
MONGO_ROOT_PASSWORD	Password of the root/admin user for MongoDB.
MONGO_USER_USERNAME	Application username for MongoDB.
MONGO_USER_PASSWORD	Application password for MongoDB.
MONGO_VERSION	The MongoDB version to use for scripts and docker compose. Must be numerical. Currently supported MongoDB versions are 4.0+. Always make a backup before changing this value.

BACKUP_LOCATION	Directory to store musare.sh backups. Defaults to /backups in script location.
BACKUP_NAME	Name of musare.sh backup files. Defaults to musare-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d-%s").dump.
MUSARE_SITENAME	Should be the name of the site. [^1]
MUSARE_PRIMARY_COLOR	Primary color of the application, in hex format. [^1]

MUSARE_DEBUG_GIT_LATEST_COMMIT_SHORT	Log/expose the current Git repository's latest commit hash (short). [^1]

[^1]: If value is changed the frontend will require a rebuild in production mode.

Backend Config

The backend config serves as the primary configuration means of the application. The default values can be found in backend/config/default.json.

To overwrite these, create a local config e.g. backend/config/local.json and define key/values. A basic template can be found in backend/config/template.json.

If the default configuration changes, so will the configVersion. When updating, please refer to the default.json, make any required changes to your local.json, and update your configVersion.

Some configuration values are overwritten by Environment Variables and can not be overwritten with local.json. These values can be found in backend/config/custom-environment-variables.json.

For more information on configuration files please refer to the config package documentation.

Docker

Below are some snippets that may help you get started with Docker. For more information please see the Docker documentation.

Compose override

You may want to override the docker compose files in some specific cases. For this, you can create a compose.override.yml file. An example is available at compose.override.yml.example.

For example, to expose the frontend port:

services:
  frontend:
    ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:1234:80"

...and to expose the backend debug port:

services:
  backend:
    ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:9229:9229"

Daemon configuration

The below is an example daemon.json configured to bind to a specific IP, and setup log rotation.

{
  "ip": "127.0.0.1",
  "log-driver": "json-file",
  "log-opts": {
    "max-size": "10m",
    "max-file": "10"
  }
}
