davesgonechina/known repository overview

⁠docker-known

Based on Eric Hansander's⁠ Docker Known container⁠, builds a set of containers to run the latest version of Known⁠ with one process per container, i.e.:

• one container used as data volume⁠ for settings, posts, etc.
• MySQL database running in one container (based on the standard MySQL image⁠)
• Apache running the Known PHP application in a container based on this image

⁠How to run it

Just run the docker-compose.yml file in detached mode with Docker Compose⁠:

docker-compose up -d

Or alternatively, run the following from the command line:

The data volume container will contain the MySQL database files and the Known uploads directory (for uploaded photos, etc.). Mounting a host directory allows you to rebuild the containers without losing your content or settings.

docker run --name datavolume \
    -v your local directory here:/var/lib/mysql \
    -v your local directory here:/known/uploads \
    -d ubuntu:trusty true


docker run --name mysql --volumes-from datavolume \
    -e MYSQL_DATABASE=known \
    -e MYSQL_USER=known \
    -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=knownpassword \
    -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=rootpassword \
    -d mysql


docker run --name known --volumes-from datavolume --link mysql:mysql -p 80:80 \
    -e MYSQL_DATABASE=known \
    -e MYSQL_USER=known \
    -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=knownpassword \
    -d davesgonechina/known

Enter the Known site address into your browser, and follow the instructions.

If you are running docker locally on your machine, you should be able to access it at http://localhost/. If you are running boot2docker⁠, you instead need to enter the local IP of your boot2docker virtual machine, which you can find by running

boot2docker ip

⁠How to build it

To build the image locally, simply

docker build -t davesgonechina/known .
