Docker Environment

Location: .env

In the table below the container host refers to the IP address that the docker container listens on, setting this to 127.0.0.1 for example will only expose the configured port to localhost, whereas setting to 0.0.0.0 will expose the port on all interfaces.

The container port refers to the external docker container port, used to access services within the container. Changing this does not require any changes to configuration within container. For example setting the MONGO_PORT to 21018 will allow you to access the mongo service through that port, even though the application within the container is listening on 21017.

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.
RESTART_POLICY	Restart policy for docker containers, values can be found here.
CONTAINER_MODE	Should be either prod or dev.
DOCKER_COMMAND	Should be either docker or podman.
BACKEND_HOST	Backend container host.
BACKEND_PORT	Backend container port.
FRONTEND_HOST	Frontend container host.
FRONTEND_PORT	Frontend container port.
FRONTEND_MODE	Should be either prod or dev.
MONGO_HOST	Mongo container host.
MONGO_PORT	Mongo container port.
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_DATA_LOCATION	The location where MongoDB stores its data. Usually the .db folder inside the Musare folder.
MONGO_VERSION	The MongoDB version to use for scripts and docker-compose. Must be numerical. Currently supported MongoDB versions are 4.0, 4.2, 4.4 and 5.0.
REDIS_HOST	Redis container host.
REDIS_PORT	Redis container port.
REDIS_PASSWORD	Redis password.
REDIS_DATA_LOCATION	The location where Redis stores its data. Usually the .redis folder inside the Musare folder.
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.

Docker-compose override

You may want to override the docker-compose files in some specific cases. For this, you can create a docker-compose.override.yml file.

Run backend on its own domain

One example usecase for the override is to expose the backend port so you can run it separately from the frontend. An example file for this is as follows:

services:
  backend:
    ports:
      - "${BACKEND_HOST}:${BACKEND_PORT}:8080"

This assumes that you have also set BACKEND_PORT inside your .env file.
