Thank you, community!

Docker support is maintained by Cachet users from within the community.

Getting started with Docker Compose

Quickly launch Cachet, NGINX and PostgreSQL docker images with docker-compose.

  1. Clone the repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/cachethq/Docker.git cachet-docker
$ cd cachet-docker

  1. Edit the docker-compose.yml file to specify your ENV variables.

  2. To build an image containing a specific Cachet release, change the cachet_ver ARG in the docker-compose.yml file:

  cachet:
    build:
      context: .
      args:
        - cachet_ver=v2.3.10
  1. Build and run the image:
$ docker-compose build
$ docker-compose up
  1. Continue to configure Cachet in your web browser by navigating to your Docker host's IP address.

Default port

cachethq/docker runs on port 8000 by default. This is exposed on host port 80 when using docker-compose.

Version stability warning:

The master branch and "cachethq/docker:latest" Docker automated build are a work in progress / development version of the upstream https://github.com/CachetHQ/Cachet project. As such, master or latest should not be used in a production environment as it may change at anytime.

We strongly recommend specifying a stable Cachet Release at build time as mentioned in step 3 above.

When running in production you should ensure that you enable SSL.

This is commonly achieved by running Nginx with your certificates on your Docker host, service or load balancers in-front of the running container, or by adding your custom SSL certificates and configuration to the supplied Nginx configuration.

Running Cachet Docker container manually

Run a DB container:

$ docker run --name postgres -e POSTGRES_USER=postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -d postgres:9.5

Run Cachet:

$ docker run -d --name cachet --link postgres -e DB_DRIVER=pgsql -e DB_HOST=postgres -e DB_DATABASE=postgres -e DB_USERNAME=postgres -e DB_PASSWORD=postgres -d cachethq/docker:latest
