Environment variables

• CHEVERETO_DB_HOST - hostname of the Database machine that you wish to connect, default to db
• CHEVERETO_DB_USERNAME - Username to authenticate to MySQL database, default to chevereto
• CHEVERETO_DB_PASSWORD - Password of the user when connect to MySQL database, default to chevereto

• CHEVERETO_DB_PREFIX - Table prefix (use this to run multiple instance of Chevereto using the same Database ), default to chv_

Connection to database

Chevereto requires an Mysql database to store its information. You can use a Mysql or MariaDB container to host this.

Information on connection to database is provided to container via environment variables explained above.

Permanent storage

Chevereto stores images uploaded by users in /var/www/html/images directory within the container.

You can mount a data volume at this location to ensure that you don't lose your images if you relaunch/remove container.

Example Usage

I recommend you to use Docker-compose / Docker swarm to launch Chevereto in conjunction with a MySQL database. A sample of docker-compose.yaml can be found below.

Docker compose

Note: Thanks to backward compatibility of docker-compose, you can change the version to 2 and it will still works.

version: '3'

services:
  db:
    image: mariadb:10.1.22
    volumes:
      - './mariadb:/var/lib/mysql:rw'
    restart: always
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: chevereto_root
      MYSQL_DATABASE: chevereto
      MYSQL_USER: chevereto
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: chevereto

  chevereto:
    depends_on:
      - db
    image: pminnebach/chevereto:1.1.0
    restart: always
    environment:
      CHEVERETO_DB_HOST: db
      CHEVERETO_DB_USERNAME: chevereto
      CHEVERETO_DB_PASSWORD: chevereto
      CHEVERETO_DB_NAME: chevereto
      CHEVERETO_DB_PREFIX: chv_
    volumes:
      - './images:/var/www/html/images:rw'
    ports:
      - 81:80

Once docker-compose.yaml is ready, you can run

docker-compose up

To run the service

Standalone

docker run -it --name chevereto -d \
    --link mysql:mysql \
    -p 80:80 \
    -v "$PWD/images":/var/www/html/images \
    -e "CHEVERETO_DB_HOST=db" \
    -e "CHEVERETO_DB_USERNAME=chevereto" \
