Usage

Git clone

You can deploy it easily with the following command:

git clone https://github.com/elestio-examples/gotenberg.git

Copy the .env file from tests folder to the project directory

cp ./tests/.env ./.env

Edit the .env file with your own values.

Run the project with the following command

docker-compose up -d

You can access the Web UI at: http://your-domain:3108

Docker-compose

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

version: "3"

services:
  gotenberg:
    image: elestio/gotenberg:${SOFTWARE_VERSION_TAG}
    env_file:
      - ./.env
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 172.17.0.1:3108:3000

Maintenance

Logging

The Elestio Gotenberg Docker image sends the container logs to stdout. To view the logs, you can use the following command:

docker-compose logs -f

To stop the stack you can use the following command:

docker-compose down

Backup and Restore with Docker Compose

To make backup and restore operations easier, we are using folder volume mounts. You can simply stop your stack with docker-compose down, then backup all the files and subfolders in the folder near the docker-compose.yml file.

Creating a ZIP Archive For example, if you want to create a ZIP archive, navigate to the folder where you have your docker-compose.yml file and use this command:

zip -r myarchive.zip .

Restoring from ZIP Archive To restore from a ZIP archive, unzip the archive into the original folder using the following command:

unzip myarchive.zip -d /path/to/original/folder

Starting Your Stack Once your backup is complete, you can start your stack again with the following command:

docker-compose up -d

That's it! With these simple steps, you can easily backup and restore your data volumes using Docker Compose.
