Using an external database

By default this container does not contain the database for Ipboard. You need to use either an existing database or a database container.

The IPboard setup wizard (should appear on first run) allows connecting to an existing MySQL/MariaDB. You can also link a database container, e. g. --link my-mysql:mysql, and then use mysql as the database host on setup. More info is in the docker-compose section.

Persistent data

The Ipboard installation and all data beyond what lives in the database (file uploads, etc) are stored in the unnamed docker volume volume /app. The docker daemon will store that data within the docker directory /var/lib/docker/volumes/.... That means your data is saved even if the container crashes, is stopped or deleted.

To make your data persistent to upgrading and get access for backups is using named docker volume or mount a host folder. To achieve this you need one volume for your database container and IPboard.

IPboard:

• /app folder where all IPboard data lives

$ docker run -d \
    -p 443:443 -p 80:80 \
    -v ipboard_html:/app \
    cmer81/ipboard:latest

Database:

• /var/lib/mysql MySQL / MariaDB Data

$ docker run -d \
    -v db:/var/lib/mysql \
    mariadb

Build Your custom Usage

docker build --pull -t "ipboard" .

Accessing the application:
