mecrawlings/kirby-plainkit repository overview

⁠What is Kirby

Awesome flat file CMS.

Kirby is not free, you can develop locally with Docker and then when you move to production you must purchase a license – support great software!

⁠How to use this image

To quickly launch and use the image on port 80:

$ docker run --name my-kirby-project -p 80:80 -d mecrawlings/getkirby-plainkit

If you want to work on a project or keep any changes you need to mount some directories:

$  docker run -d --rm -p 80:80 --name kirby2 \
-v /full/path/to/content:/var/www/localhost/htdocs/content/ \
-v /full/path/to/content:/var/www/localhost/htdocs/site/ \
-v /full/path/to/content:/var/www/localhost/htdocs/assets/ \
mecrawlings/kirby-plainkit

The three Kirby directories need to have the content inside them!

You can make this much simpler by…

⁠…using docker-compose

By using docker-compose you can save yourself loads of typing, I like to create a project folder and add the docker-compose.yml like this:

version: '2'
services:
  kirby:
    image: mecrawlings/getkirby-plainkit
    volumes:
      - ./content:/var/www/html/content
      - ./site:/var/www/html/site
      - ./assets:/var/www/html/assets
    ports:
      - 80:80

Then just run docker-compose up from your project and your up and running. Changes made to the content, site or assets folder will persist.

I keep an up-to-date Kirby-Docker-compose project on github:
