Today we’re going to see how we can deploy a container to store notes or links to our interesting websites or projects.

Based on benotes (https://github.com/fr0tt/benotes_docker-compose)

The first thing we need to do is create this Docker Compose:

version: "3.6"
services:
  benotes_app:
    container_name: benotes_app
    image: fr0tt/benotes:2.7.0-beta
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      DB_CONNECTION: ${DB_CONNECTION}
    #ports:
      #- ${APP_PORT}:80
    volumes:
      - .env:/var/www/.env
      #- ./data/storage/app/public/thumbnails:/var/www/storage/app/public/thumbnails
      #- ./data/storage/backup:/var/www/storage/backup
      #- ./data/storage/logs:/var/www/storage/logs
      # or instead one named volume to rule them all:   
      - benotes_storage:/var/www/storage
      # this is optional (either way):
      #- ./data/nginx/logs/:/var/lib/nginx/logs/
    networks:
      - docker_network

  benotes_db:
    container_name: benotes_db
    image: postgres:15.2-alpine
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      POSTGRES_DATABASE: ${DB_DATABASE}
      POSTGRES_USER: ${DB_USERNAME}
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${DB_PASSWORD}
    ports:
      - ${DB_PORT}
    volumes:
      - benotes_postgres:/var/lib/postgres/data
    networks:
      - docker_network
  #
  # If you wish to use MySQL instead remove the lines above, uncomment the following
  # and change APP_PORT in your .env file to 3306
  #
  # db:
  #   container_name: benotes_db
  #   image: mysql:5.7
  #   restart: unless-stopped
  #   environment:
  #     MYSQL_DATABASE: ${DB_DATABASE}
  #     MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: ${DB_PASSWORD}
  #     MYSQL_USER: ${DB_USERNAME}
  #     MYSQL_PASSWORD: ${DB_PASSWORD}
  #   ports:
  #     - ${DB_PORT}
  #   volumes:
  #     - benotes_mysql:/var/lib/mysql
  #   networks:
  #     - docker_network
  
volumes:
  benotes_postgres:
    driver: "local"
  # benotes_mysql:
  #   driver: "local"
  benotes_storage:
    driver: "local"

networks:
  docker_network:
    external: true

Once the file is created, we add this .env file in the root directory. Docker Compose reads the .env file directly.

APP_PORT=8099

APP_NAME=Benotes
APP_ENV=production
APP_DEBUG=false
APP_URL=http://localhost:${APP_PORT}
APP_TIMEZONE=UTC

GENERATE_MISSING_THUMBNAILS=true
USE_FILESYSTEM=true

DB_CONNECTION=pgsql
DB_HOST=benotes_db
DB_PORT=5432
DB_DATABASE=db_benotes
DB_USERNAME=user_benotes
DB_PASSWORD=pass_benotes

CACHE_DRIVER=file

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=
MAIL_PASSWORD=
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=
MAIL_FROM_NAME="Benotes"
JWT_ALGO=HS256

Now we launch the container:

docker compose up -d

We need to allow read and write permissions on .env since it will be modified by the container to set the initial key.

sudo chmod 777 -env

Now we run this command to start the configuration:

docker compose exec --user application benotes_app sh

And we launch the configuration:

php artisan install

Now it will ask for confirmation to install, we answer yes to everything.

And it will ask to set the username, email, and password to access.

Onceready, we can access the service from http://localhost:8099

And now we can create a new collection and add our links or notes inside.
