Our Docker images are currently in BETA and are not production-ready, even though the WriteBackExtreme application is a production product.
First we need to create a Docker volume so we can make the configuration file, SQLite database and logs persistent.
Via this method it can be as easy as running the following command
Don't forget to change the
WBE_URL
to a proper external URL. Current given domain is a example.
Change latest
into one of the following to get more control over the version: e.g. 4
or 4.1
or full version 4.2.1
Once the container is running, open the URL (e.g. above: http://localhost:8899
) in your browser and click on "Go to the backend."
Credentials for the initial administrator user will be shown in the command!
(Re)Start the container after closing the command can done via:
By default port 8090
is exposed. In certain scenario's port 8090
is not available, the port can be change via the docker run
command by adding -p {port}:8090
. Where in port 8090 is the internal application port. Replace {port}
with the desire port.
To install the application from scratch, run the installer
command on the binary. Since the application binary is referenced in the Dockerfile
entrypoint, you can do this easily by:
If you have added the -v
flag (volume mounting) in the command, you'll have a properly generated wbe.config.yaml
, and it is no longer necessary to pass a value in the WBE_LICENSE
and WBE_URL
variables. The wbe.config.yaml
does not contain the environment variable replacement values due to being overwritten during the installation process.
If a new version is available, run the following commands to update:
