The Dockerfile creates a docker image of an elog server built on Debain (stable).
Pull the Dockerfile from github
git clone --recursive https://github.com/bungernut/elog-docker
cd ./elog-docker
Edit elog.conf to suit your needs and then build the docker image
docker build -t elog .
Run the docker image,
docker run --name elog -p 8080:8080 -v $PWD/config:/etc/elog/ -v $PWD/elog-banner-css/css:/usr/share/elog/themes/default/banner -v $PWD/logbooks:/var/lib/elog/logbooks elog
This forwards port 8080 from the container to localhost:8080
In the example config, Latex math can be rendered using MathJax. This recognises inline math $ ... $ and numbered equations \being{equation} ... \end{equation} in elog entries.
SMTP (email notification) is not tested (and very probably doesn't work).
SSL is not supported. Passwords sent over the network are vulnerable to sniffing attacks. It's strongly recommended that you use an SSL-enabled proxy (e.g., Apache or nginx).
For setting-up, Self registration = 1. It's advisable to set the Admin user and disable Self registration. See elog.conf syntax.
