dsavell/grav repository overview

⁠dsavell/grav

Grav is a Fast, Simple, and Flexible file-based Web-platform. There is Zero installation required. Although Grav follows principles similar to other flat-file CMS platforms, it has a different design philosophy than most.

The underlying architecture of Grav is built using well established and best-in-class technologies. This is to ensure that Grav is simple to use and easy to extend. Some of these key technologies include:

• Twig Templating: for powerful control of the user interface
• Markdown: for easy content creation
• YAML: for simple configuration
• Parsedown: for fast Markdown and Markdown Extra support
• Doctrine Cache: for performance
• Pimple Dependency Injection Container: for extensibility and maintainability
• Symfony Event Dispatcher: for plugin event handling
• Symfony Console: for CLI interface
• Gregwar Image Library: for dynamic image manipulation

⁠Supported Architectures

We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from the Docker manifest list documentation⁠.

The admin and core tags are multi-platform images. Docker automatically selects the matching image for your architecture.

The architectures supported by this image are:

⁠Version Tags

This image provides various versions that are available via tags.

⁠Application Setup

WebUI can be found at http://<your-ip>

More information can be found in the official installation documentation⁠.

⁠Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.

⁠docker-compose

---
services:
  grav:
    image: dsavell/grav:<TAG>
    container_name: grav
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - DUID=1000
      - DGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/London # optional
    volumes:
      - /data/containers/grav/backup:/var/www/grav/backup
      - /data/containers/grav/user:/var/www/grav/user
    ports:
      - 80:80

⁠docker cli (Docker CLI documentation⁠)

docker create \
  --name=grav \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -e DUID=1000 \
  -e DGID=1000 \
  -p 8080:80 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London `# optional` \
  -v /data/containers/grav/backup:/var/www/grav/backup \
  -v /data/containers/grav/user:/var/www/grav/user \
  dsavell/grav:<TAG>
docker start grav

⁠Parameters

Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

⁠User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
