docker-strapi

Docker image for Strapi development, based on gilhardl/node

---

---

Usage

With docker

Basic usage

Start CLI :

docker run -it --name strapi -v /path/to/your/project:/usr/src/api gilhardl/strapi

Start CLI and expose port to be able to start the app :

docker run -it --name strapi -v /path/to/your/project:/usr/src/api gilhardl/strapi -p 1337:1337 --link yourapp-db:mongo

Note :

• yourapp-db is the name of your MongoDB container
• If you don't want to start the app, you don't need to specify -p 1337:1337 or --link yourapp-db:mongo parameters.

Walkthrough

1. Create a volume for MongoDB data (if not exist)

docker volume create mongodb-data

2. Run MongoDB container for your database

docker run -it --name yourapp-db -p 27017:27017 -v mongodb-data:/data/db -e MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE=yourapp mongo

3. Run Strapi container to use Strapi CLI

docker run -it --name strapi -v /path/to/your/project:/usr/src/api -p 1337:1337 --link yourapp-db:mongo gilhardl/strapi

4. Use Strapi CLI

Create a project :

strapi new yourapp-api

? Choose your installation type Custom (manual settings)
? Choose your main database: MongoDB
? Database name: yourapp
? Host: yourapp-db
? +srv connection: false
? Port (It will be ignored if you enable +srv): 27017
? Username:
? Password:
? Authentication database (Maybe "admin" or blank):
? Enable SSL connection: false

...

Start API :

strapi start

With docker-compose

Create a file named docker-compose.yml at your project root like the following :

version: '3'

services:
  api:
    container_name: yourapp-api
    build: .
    image: gilhardl/strapi
    ports:
      - 1337:1337
    volumes:
      - .:/usr/src/api/
    depends_on:
      - db
    command: strapi start
    restart: always

  db:
    container_name: yourapp-db
    image: mongo
    environment:
      - MONGO_INITDB_DATABASE=yourapp
    ports:
      - 27017:27017
    volumes:
      - mongodb-data:/data/db
    restart: always

volumes:
  mongodb-data:

Start database and API :

docker-compose up
