docker-padlock-cloud

A simple Dockerfile to run a self hosted padlock-cloud server using docker. For help on getting started with docker see the official getting started guide.

Building docker-padlock-cloud

Running this will build you a docker image with the latest version of padlock-cloud.

git clone https://github.com/longsleep/docker-padlock-cloud
cd docker-padlock-cloud
docker build -t longsleep/padlock-cloud .

Running docker-padlock-cloud

This docker image exposes the padlock-cloud server to be used with a reverse proxy to provide external access and TLS. In addition padlock-cloud requires a SMTP server to send email. This SMTP server needs to be TLS encrypted with a public validateable certificate and use authentication.

The following example assumes you have created the folder /srv/padlock-cloud and made sure that padlock cloud inside docker can write to it. Skip the -v parameters to store data inside the container (not recommended).

sudo docker run --rm=true \
    -p=127.0.0.1:8070:3000 \
    -v=/srv/padlock-cloud:/padlock-db \
    -v=/srv/padlock-cloud:/padlock-log \
    --name=padlock-cloud \
    longsleep/padlock-cloud \
    --email-server smtp.gmail.com \
    --email-port 587 --email-user yourgmail \
    --email-password yourgmailpw \
     runserver \
    --base-url https://host.to.your.padlock.local

This runs docker-padlock-cloud in a temporary container in foreground. To stop it, just press CTRL+C. It runs padlock-cloud on 127.0.0.1:8070. Use this in your TLS reverse proxy and make sure the value for --base-url matches your setup.
