Containerized Treebird FE Build

This git repo contains files needed to build a docker container for Nekobit's Treebird C-FCGI based front end for Pleroma.

Requirements - Build

• docker (or docker.io on older distros)
• bash
• git

Requirements - Run

• docker (or docker.io on older distros)
• nginx (or another FCGI capable web server)

Building

Building the container should be as simple as running build_container.sh and waiting for the build to complete.

./build_container.sh [tag (optional, defaults to latest)]

Running

The run_container.sh script will start the Treebird FCGI container on port 4008 ready to receive requests from nginx or whatever FCGI capable http server you have.

# NOTE: The instance url MUST contain the trailing /
./run_container.sh [instance, e.g. "https://sleepy.cafe/"] [tag (optional, latest)]

Running - Local Nginx

For local use and testing an nginx Dockerfile is provided in the nginx-test folder. To use it, after building the Treebird container, do the following.

cd nginx-test
./build_container.sh [tag (optional, defaults to latest)]

Then to run it just run run_container.sh. This will not launch with the -d option so it will close when you close the terminal (since this is only for testing).

./run_container.sh [tag (optional, defaults to latest)]

From here, you can open your preferred web browser to http://localhost/ and Treebird should appear.

Installing

TODO (will add steps after I install it on my own domain).
