pretalx-docker

This repository contains a docker-compose setup as well as an ansible role for an pretalx installation based on docker.

Installation with docker-compose

For testing

• run docker-compose up -d , after a few minutes the setup should be accessible under http://localhost/orga
• setup an user and an organizer by running docker exec -ti pretalx pretalx init

For production

• edit conf/pretalx.conf and fill in your own values
• edit docker-compose.yml and remove the complete section with ports: - "80:80" from the composefile (if you go with traefim as reverse proxy) or change the line to ports: - "127.0.0.1:8355:80" (if you use nginx) and change the database password.
• if you don't want to use docker volumes create directories for the persistent data and make them read-writeable for the userid 999 and the groupid 999. change pretalx-redis, pretalx-db and pretalx-data for the correstonding directories you've chosen.
• configure an reverse-proxy to handle TLS. Pretalx listens on port 80 in the pretalxdocker-Network. I recommend to go with traefik for its ease of setup, docker integration and Lets encrypt support (https://docs.traefik.io/user-guide/docker-and-lets-encrypt/). An example to copy into the normal compose file ist situated under reverse-proxy-eamples/docker-compose. You can also find a few words on an nginx-config under reverse-proxy-eamples/nginx
• run docker-compose up -d , after a few minutes the setup should be accessible under http://yourdomain.com/orga
• setup an user and an organizer by running docker exec -ti pretalx pretalx init

Installation with ansible

For testing

• add the role to your ansible setup
• roll out the role
• you should be able to reach pretalx under http://localhost/orga
• setup an user and an organizer by running docker exec -ti pretalx pretalx init

For production

• add the role under ansible-role to your ansible setup.
• fill out the varaibles listed in the vars/main.yml-file. Make sure to set testing to false!
• setup an reverse proxy to handle TLS, i recommend traefik. The containers that get rolled out are already tagged for traefik. An example role for traefik is includes under reverse-proxy-eamples/ansible/traefik
• roll out the role, afterr a few minutes pretalx should be reachable under the configured domain
• setup an user and an organizer by running docker exec -ti pretalx pretalx init
