ampledata/meshmap-docker

Docker container to run Eric Satterlee KG6WXC's AREDN MeshMap.

Usage

1. Download a copy of user-settings.ini-default and rename it to user-settings.ini:

   $ curl -so user-settings.ini https://gitlab.kg6wxc.net/mesh/meshmap/raw/master/scripts/user-settings.ini-default

2. Configure the user-settings.ini per instructions here. At a minimum you will need to set sql_passwd.
3. Create a mysql database directory for persistence: $ mkdir meshmap-mysql
4. Start the Docker container, ensure you use the same sql_passwd above for MYSQL_USER_PASS below:

   $ docker run -d \
       -p 8888:80 \
       -e "MYSQL_ADMIN_PASS=changeme" \
       -e "MYSQL_USER_PASS=changeme" \
       -v `pwd`/meshmap-mysql:/var/lib/mysql \
       -v `pwd`/user-settings.ini:/meshmap/scripts/user-settings.ini \
       ampledata/meshmap

5. Open a web browser and point it at http://localhost:8888

Environment

The following environment variables must be overwritten before running this container. This can be accomplished by using the -e command-line argument, or by modifying the Dockerfile (no, don't do it!).

• MYSQL_ADMIN_PASS: Sets the mysql administrator password.
• MYSQL_USER_PASS: Sets the mysql user mesh-map password.

Setting the environment variable from the command line:

-e "MYSQL_ADMIN_PASS='changeme'" -e "MYSQL_USER_PASS='changeme'"

Alternatively, setting the environment variables from the Dockerfile:

ENV MYSQL_ADMIN_PASS=changeme
ENV MYSQL_USER_PASS=changeme

Volumes

This container needs to persist its mysql database somewhere. It's recommended to use a Docker volume to do this. (Ensure the path exists first.)

Setting the mysql database volume from the command line:

-v `pwd`/meshmap-mysql:/var/lib/mysql

This command would set the container's local mysql database path to meshmap-mysql within your home directory.

docker-compose

You can also run this container with Docker Compose, just remember to set the appropriate env vars:

version: "2"
volumes:
  meshmap-mysql:
services:
  meshmap:
    image: meshmap-docker
    hostname: meshmap
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "8888:80"
    volumes:
      - "meshmap-mysql:/var/lib/mysql"
    environment:
        MYSQL_ADMIN_PASS: "changeme"
        MYSQL_USER_PASS: "changeme"

Once the instance is running, all you have to do is open a web browser and point it to http://localhost:8888
