jonasprogrammer/nipap-www repository overview

⁠docker-nipapd

Docker stack-ready images for nipapd

⁠nipapd-www

This image starts the nipap web interface on port 8080. A valid (trusted) user account on a running nipapd middleware is required.

⁠Configuration

⁠Secret support

WWW_USERNAME, WWW_PASSWORD, NIPAPD_USERNAME and NIPAPD_PASSWORD all have a corresponding var_FILE environment variable that can be used to retrieve the desired contents from a file, rather than directly passing it via the docker command line.

For use with docker secrets, one could use NIPAPD_PASSWORD_FILE=/run/secrets/nipap-pw for example.

⁠Initialization script support

Every executable file in /nipap/docker-init.d/ will be executed to allow further customization of the container during startup. Beware that these are executed on every container start, so they should be idempotent.

If your script must run only once, you should use a marker file within a persisted volume like /etc/nipap/.

⁠Custom authentication setup

If AUTH_DEFAULT is set to f[alse], 0, n[o] or skip, the default config for authentication will not be generated (and nipap-passwd will not be executed by the entrypoint script).

Instead, you have to setup the backend yourself using the following syntax: AUTH_BACKEND_x_y will create [auth.backends.x], if it does not exist and set the y key there to the corresponding value of the variable. Beware that x must not contain an underscore!

Variable names ending in _FILE will be treated the same way as described in Secret support.

A few examples:

• AUTH_BACKEND_local_db_path will set db_path in auth.backends.local
• AUTH_BACKEND_remote_ro_group will set ro_group in auth.backends.remote
• AUTH_BACKEND_remote_search_password_FILE will set search_password in auth.backends.remote to the contents of the file $AUTH_BACKEND_remote_search_password_FILE

Also, beware that a local auth backend is always required for nipapd to start. Thus the image also has the following two environment variables set by default:

• AUTH_BACKEND_local_type = SqliteAuth
• AUTH_BACKEND_local_db_path = /etc/nipap/local_auth.db
