Alpine-Akaunting

Container for Alpine Linux + PHP7 + Akaunting

---

This image containerizes Akaunting accounting webapp along with its php dependencies to track metrics for a peson or small group. Database not included. Checkout alpine-mysql to configure your own MySQL server in a container.

Based on Alpine Linux from alpine-php image with NGINX, PHP7 and the s6 init system overlayed in it.

Auto updated according to the Github release

Updated with latest php7 packages and proxied out through NGINX, which can be also used to serve the static files.

The image is tagged respectively for the following architectures,

• armhf
• x86_64 (retagged as the latest )

armhf builds have embedded binfmt_misc support and contain the qemu-user-static binary that allows for running it also inside an x64 environment that has it.

---

Get the Image

---

Pull the image for your architecture it's already available from Docker Hub.

# make pull
docker pull woahbase/alpine-akaunting:x86_64

---

Configuration Defaults

---

• Akaunting is located at the endpoint /akaunting/, with the webapp at /config/akaunting/.

• Akaunting source is located at /opt/akaunting/akaunting.zip.

• These configurations are inherited from the nginx image:

  • Drop privileges to alpine whenever configured to. Respects PUID / PGID.

  • Binds to both http(80) and https(443). Publish whichever you need, or both.

  • Default configs setup a static site at / by copying /defaults/index.html at the webroot location /config/www/. Mount the /config/ locally to persist modifications (or your webapps). NGINX configs are at /config/nginx, and vhosts at /config/nginx/site-confs/.

  • 4096bit Self-signed SSL certificate is generated in first run at /config/keys. Pass the runtime variable SSLSUBJECT with a valid info string to make your own.

  • .htpasswd is generated with default credentials admin/insecurebydefault at /config/keys/.htpasswd

  • Sets up a https and auth protected web location at /secure.

  • If you're proxying multiple containers at the same host, or reverse proxying multiple hosts at the same container, you may need to add --net=host and/or add entries in your firewall to allow traffic.

---

Run

---

If you want to run images for other architectures, you will need to have binfmt support configured for your machine. multiarch, has made it easy for us containing that into a docker container.

# make regbinfmt
docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register --reset

Without the above, you can still run the image that is made for your architecture, e.g for an x86_64 machine..

Running make starts the service.

# make
docker run --rm -it \
  --name docker_akaunting --hostname akaunting \
  -e PGID=1000 -e PUID=1000 \
  -c 256 -m 256m \
  -p 80:80 -p 443:443 \
  -v config:/config \
  -v /etc/hosts:/etc/hosts:ro \
  -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
  woahbase/alpine-akaunting:x86_64

Stop the container with a timeout, (defaults to 2 seconds)

# make stop
docker stop -t 2 docker_akaunting

Removes the container, (always better to stop it first and -f only when needed most)

# make rm
docker rm -f docker_akaunting

Restart the container with

# make restart
docker restart docker_akaunting

---

Shell access

---

Get a shell inside a already running container,

# make shell
docker exec -it docker_akaunting /bin/bash

set user or login as root,

# make rshell
docker exec -u root -it docker_akaunting /bin/bash

To check logs of a running container in real time

# make logs
docker logs -f docker_akaunting

---

Development

---

If you have the repository access, you can clone and build the image yourself for your own system, and can push after.

---

Setup

---

Before you clone the repo, you must have Git, GNU make, and Docker setup on the machine.

git clone https://github.com/woahbase/alpine-akaunting
cd alpine-akaunting

You can always skip installing make but you will have to type the whole docker commands then instead of using the sweet make targets.

---

Build

---

You need to have binfmt_misc configured in your system to be able to build images for other architectures.

Otherwise to locally build the image for your system. [ARCH defaults to x86_64, need to be explicit when building for other architectures.]

# make ARCH=x86_64 build
# sets up binfmt if not x86_64
docker build --rm --compress --force-rm \
  --no-cache=true --pull \
  -f ./Dockerfile_x86_64 \
  --build-arg ARCH=x86_64 \
  --build-arg DOCKERSRC=alpine-php \
  --build-arg PGID=1000 \
  --build-arg PUID=1000 \
  --build-arg USERNAME=woahbase \
  -t woahbase/alpine-akaunting:x86_64 \
  .

To check if its working..

# make ARCH=x86_64 test
docker run --rm -it \
  --name docker_akaunting --hostname akaunting \
  -e PGID=1000 -e PUID=1000 \
  woahbase/alpine-akaunting:x86_64 \
  sh -ec 'nginx -v; php --version; echo "$(cat /opt/akaunting/version)";'

And finally, if you have push access,

# make ARCH=x86_64 push
docker push woahbase/alpine-akaunting:x86_64
