OTP Release Pleroma, Containerized

Inspired by angristan/docker-pleroma

• Based on a slightly modified version of this guide
• Ran as an unprivileged user
• It works great (probably)

The image will need to be built by yourself.

• config.exs runs into permission problems when bind mounted. Thus, the Dockerfile directly copies the file to solve this.

1. Copy config.exs.example and docker-compose.yml.example

   cp config.exs.example config.exs
   cp docker-compose.yml.example docker-compose.yml
   

2. Modify config.exs and docker-compose.yml accordingly
   • Hint, you can generate the database password using

     cat /dev/urandom | base64 | head -c 64
     

3. Build

   docker compose build
   # or
   docker build -t pleroma .
   

4. Run

   docker compose up -d
   

docker build -t pleroma .
docker-compose run --rm web mix ecto.migrate # migrate the database if needed
docker-compose up -d # recreate the containers if needed
