Feedback welcome on custom Docker image

[frenchvandal]

I decided to create this spin-off not to pollute #69

Despite all the tips provided on the former issue, I have not managed to install Shaark with MariaDB so for now I stick to SQLite.

Here is my Dockerfile:

FROM alpine/git as builder
WORKDIR /tmp
RUN set -x \
    && git clone https://github.com/MarceauKa/shaark.git shaark

FROM php:7-alpine
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=builder /tmp/shaark /app
RUN set -x && \
        touch database/shaark.sqlite && \
        mv .env.example .env && \
        \

        sed -i 's|DB_DATABASE=homestead|DB_DATABASE=\/app\/database\/shaark\.sqlite|' .env && \

VOLUME /app

CMD php artisan serve --host=0.0.0.0 --port=80
EXPOSE 80

My docker-compose.yml file:

version: "3.7"

volumes:
  app:
  data:

services:
  shaark:
    #image: frenchvandal/shaark:attack
    image: shaark:attack
    build: .
    container_name: shaark
    restart: always
    depends_on:
      - redis
    volumes:
      - app:/app:rw
      - data:/data:rw

  redis:
    image: redis:alpine3.11
    container_name: redis
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - data:/data:rw

networks:
  default:
    external:
      name: firefly

(firefly is the default network of all my containers)

A few comments about things I added but not sure really sure if they are actually needed:

• I included the git clone directly in the Dockerfile
• I added the PHP extension for Redis,
• For archiving with Redis, I added Python 3, youtube-dl with curl, npm/nodejs for puphpeteer

The image builds successfully and Shaark is up when I hit the URL.

Globally it is functional, except a few things:

• Shaark does not display correctly if I do not put the actual URL in the APP_URL entry in .env
• if I enable the comments in the settings, clicking on any permalink leads to 500 error
• pictures sometimes fail to load when I drop a picture in the new album form
• search only display results if SQL is enabled
• hitting save when adding a new album generates a server error message, though when I go back to the front page, the new album is actually published
• archiving seems not to work, using the Test buttons gets a server error message for medias and Puppeteer dependencies not installed, run npm install @nesk/pupheteer --no-save (which is done in the Dockerfile???)

Any feedback on my Dockerfile is welcome, and obviously any part of it can be reused for the repo.

@frenchvandal Thank you for your PR! I'm just a simple user with Docker so I can't help you with that. Maybe you should have a look at Laradock, it's a docker config for Laravel. It can help you to create your docker config.

FYI, I use these env to run Shaark.	Env	HTTP	PHP	DB	Redis ext	Jobs driver
dev	Apache	PHP 7.2	MySQL 5.7 (pdo_mysql)	phpredis	in database
prod	Apache + nginx proxy	PHP 7.1	MariaDB 10.2	predis	in redis

[frenchvandal]

Thank you 😄 I will check this info.

I made some quick tests with my new install. Everything seems functional, except:

• the search returns results only with SQL activated
• when the comments are enabled, clicking on a post permalink gets a 500 error

I love Shaarli but I do not think I can go back to it now that I have found out about Shaark!

@MarceauKa do you happen to have a SVG version of the Shaark icon?

[MarceauKa]

Can you give me the 500 error you get? (see it in storage/logs/laravel.log). Nope, I don't have the logo in svg format :(

[frenchvandal]

Here it is: laravel-2020-03-29.log

I have noticed another thing: when I add an album with a simple image, after I hit Send, I get a server error message. Though if I leave and go back to the front page, the album is published (so each time I hit Send, the message shows up and the image is published)

Here are the logs.

On a side note, I did not find the pattern yet but the upload of images sometimes fail: logs

[frenchvandal]

@MarceauKa is it possible to share with me an example of Apache prod conf? I am trying to reverse proxy with Caddy (similar to nginx) but something is wrong with Apache, when I hit the URL I got:

Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource.

Apache/2.4.38 (Debian) Server at normco.re Port 80

I am not familiar with Apache. I put all the content of the /shaark folder in /var/www/html

Thank you a lot!

[MarceauKa]

@frenchvandal Just put the document root to /public

[frenchvandal]

Thank you @MarceauKa eventually I managed directly with my web server and without Apache.

I have some issues for displaying images posted with albums. I can see they are stored correctly in their storage path, but they get a 404 error when displayed in a browser.

Is there any specific directive to deal with images in nginx or Apache?

[MarceauKa]

Call php artisan storage:link as mentionned in the doc. All uploaded files are stored outsite document root. This command will create a symlink in the public path to the storage folder.

[frenchvandal]

Thanks man, I actually did the command during install. I am so dumb, the symlink was broken because I change afterwards the root path of Shaark inside the container.

I managed to get a working dockerized Shaark with MariaDB (but includes manual steps from the user). I still have 2 issues to solve before pushing anything: getting mail sent and a functional Redis archiving.

Hi @frenchvandal, did you get around to fixing this? would you have a copy of your changes anywhere online, or maybe steps to reproduce? I'd really love to make it work 😄
