Kitsu Docker

Docker container for Kitsu.

If you like the project, please add a star to the Kitsu repository.

It is not recommended to use this image in production. It is intended for Kitsu testing.

For this purpose, to simplify email testing, we include an email catch-all application to intercept all emails sent by Kitsu. These can be viewed in an included webmail.

Usage

$ docker build -t cgwire/cgwire . # or sudo docker pull cgwire/cgwire
$ docker run --init -ti --rm -p 80:80 -p 1080:1080 --name cgwire cgwire/cgwire

In order to enable data persistence, use a named volume for the database and thumbnails:

$ docker run --init -ti --rm -p 80:80 -p 1080:1080 --name cgwire -v zou-storage:/var/lib/postgresql -v zou-storage:/opt/zou/previews cgwire/cgwire

To run the image as a daemon, add the -d flag:

$ docker run --init -d --rm -p 80:80 -p 1080:1080 --name cgwire cgwire/cgwire

Kitsu credentials:

• login: admin@example.com
• password: mysecretpassword

Update the profile settings with a working email address to try all features.

URL:

Kitsu: http://127.0.0.1:80/

Internal webmail: http://127.0.0.1:1080/

Update

After updating the image, you have to update the database schema. For that run:

$ docker exec -ti cgwire sh -c "/opt/zou/env/bin/zou upgrade-db"

Docker Compose

docker-compose.yml

services:
  cgwire:
    image: cgwire/cgwire:latest
    container_name: kitsu
    init: true
    tty: true
    stdin_open: true
    ports:
      - 8012:80 # Change the port 8012 to your desired port.
      - 1080:1080
    volumes:
      - zou-storage:/var/lib/postgresql
      - zou-storage:/opt/zou/previews

volumes:
  zou-storage:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      type: 'none'
      o: 'bind'
      device: './zou-storage'

• Save this in a file and name it docker-compose.yml.
• Create the folder zou-storage in the same folder as the docker-compose.yml.
• Open the terminal in the same folder.
• Run docker compose up-d.
• Done...... (Hopefully 🤞🤞)

Please test if the data is persisting after reboot or recreation. (Only tested in windows.)

Also an implementation by Mathieu Bouzard is available.
