⁠Gloop Server - Docker Compose Deployment

This repository contains a docker-compose.yml file to deploy an instance of Gloop Server.

Gloop is a centralized software lifecycle management solution for Windows workstations. It leverages Chocolatey⁠ to manage the installation, update, and removal of software packages across multiple endpoints.

⁠1. Overview

This Docker Compose setup defines two services:

• mariadb - A MariaDB container for storing persistent application data.
• gloop - The main Gloop server container, which communicates with agents and serves the API.

Gloop Server listens on port 8000 and uses MariaDB as its backend database.

⁠2. Quick Start

⁠1. Create Persistent Folders (Optional)

To persist configuration and database data outside of Docker volumes, you can bind local paths manually. By default, Docker named volumes are used:

docker volume create mariadb_data
docker volume create gloop_config

⁠2. Start the Stack

docker compose up -d

Gloop Server will be available at:

http://your.ip:8000

If USE_TLS is set to "yes", Gloop will generate a self-signed certificate and serve over HTTPS.

⁠3. Configuration Options

The gloop container supports the following environment variables:

⁠4. Volumes

⁠5. Security Notes

For production environments:

• Replace default tokens with secure, random secrets

⁠6. Troubleshooting

If Gloop fails to start due to MySQL connection errors, ensure:

• The mariadb container is running and accepting connections
• All credentials are consistent between Gloop and MariaDB
• Gloop waits for MySQL to be ready (a retry mechanism is included internally)
