# Docker for [Invoice Ninja](https://www.invoiceninja.com/)
:bulb: Please consider posting your question on [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/) as this widens the audience that can help you. Just use the tag `invoice-ninja` and we are there to help. This is mostly related to the usage of Invoice Ninja and the docker setup.
If you feel your question is directly related to a code change or you want to sent in a change + PR Github is the right place, of course.
:crown: **Features**
:lock: Automatic HTTPS (:heart: [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/))
:hammer: Fully production-ready through docker-compose
:pencil: Adjustable to your needs via environment variable
## Prerequisites
### Generate an application key
Before starting Invoice Ninja via Docker make sure you generate a valid application key. If you are not sure what an application key is, please visit [this blog post](https://tighten.co/blog/app-key-and-you/).
To generate an application just run
```shell
docker run --rm -it invoiceninja/invoiceninja php artisan key:generate --show
```
This will generate an application key for you which you need later.
### Create folders for data persistence
To make your data persistent, you have to mount `public` and `storage` from your host to your containers.
1. Create two folder on your host, e. g. `/var/invoiceninja/public` and `/var/invoiceninja/storage`
2. Mount these folders into your container - see [usage](#usage)
You can create these folders wherever you want on your host system.
:warning: When using host mounted folder for persistence, make sure they are owned by the proper user and group. As we run Invoice Ninja without `root` , we use a separate user, the folders on the host system need to be owned by uid `1000` and a gid `1001`.
Run this on your host system
```shell
chown -R 1000:101 /var/invoiceninja/public /var/invoiceninja/storage
```
to apply the proper permission to the folders. This also applies to the `docker-compose` setup when using [bind-mounted host directories](https://github.com/invoiceninja/dockerfiles/blob/master/docker-compose.yml#L17).
### PhantomJS key
The PhantomJS key is set to `a-demo-key-with-low-quota-per-ip-address`. This demo key is limited to 100 requests per day.
To set a different key feel free to add `-e PHANTOMJS_CLOUD_KEY='<INSERT YOUR PHANTOMJS KEY HERE>'` to thee docker command below.
For further configuration and toubleshotting regarding PhantomJS and Invoice Ninja [see documentation here](https://docs.invoiceninja.com/configure.html?#phantomjs).
## Usage
To run it:
```shell
docker run -d \
-v /var/invoiceninja/public:/var/app/public \
-v /var/invoiceninja/storage:/var/app/storage \
-e APP_URL='http://ninja.dev' \
-e APP_KEY='<INSERT THE GENERATED APPLICATION KEY HERE>' \
-e DB_HOST='localhost' \
-e DB_DATABASE='ninja' \
-e DB_USERNAME='ninja' \
-e DB_PASSWORD='ninja' \
-p '9000:9000' \
invoiceninja/invoiceninja
```
A list of environment variables can be found [here](https://github.com/invoiceninja/invoiceninja/blob/master/.env.example).
### With docker-compose
Running Invoice Ninja with docker-compose gives you everything to quickly start. Before starting please make sure you configured your setup correctly. You can do so by opening the `docker-compose.yml` and may change the follwing items.
**Port**
_default: 80_
This is the port where your Invoice Ninja is reachable, when you type in `http://<your-domain.com>`. If it should be different than `80` make sure to call your installation `http://<your-domain.com>:<YOUR-PORT>`, e. g. `http://<your-domain.com>:8080`.
```yml
ports:
- "8080:80" # To run it on port 8080
```
:warning: Make sure the port set is available and not occupied by another service on your host system.
**URL and application key**
_default: https://localhost_
For generating a proper application key see [generate an application key](#generate-an-application-key). Change the value where your Invoice Ninja installation should be reachable.
```yml
environment:
- APP_URL=http://localhost
````
**MYSQL root password**
_default: ninjaAdm1nPassword_
The mysql database server comes with two users: one for accessing the Invoice Ninja database and the `root` user. Please change the default password for `root` to something more special :wink:
**Volumes and directories**
_default: volumes_
This is the place where your uploaded files are stored. Normally this is a so called _volume_ which can be reused by different docker containers. One might prefer to store the files directly on the host system - for this the config section is prepared with what is called _bind-mounted host directory_. Just adjust the paths and Invoice Ninja stores the user files on the host system.
```yml
volumes:
...
# Configure your mounted directories, make sure the folder 'public' and 'storage'
# exist, before mounting them
#- public:/var/www/app/public
#- storage:/var/www/app/storage
# you may use a bind-mounted host directory instead, so that it is harder to accidentally remove the volume and lose all your data!
- ./docker/app/public:/var/www/app/public:rw,delegated
- ./docker/app/storage:/var/www/app/storage:rw,delegated
```
The sample above stores the files on the post at `./docker/app/public` and `./docker/app/storage`.
:warning: If using bind-mounted host directories make sure they exists and have proper rights. See [here](#create-folders-for-data-persistence) for details.
## Debugging your Docker setup
Even when running your Invoice Ninja setup with Docker - errors can occur. Depending on where the error happens - the webserver, Invoice Ninja or the database - different log files can be responsible.
### Show logs without `docker-compose`
If you are not running `docker-compose` you first need to find the container id for your php container with `docker ps`. Then you can run
```shell
docker logs -f <CONTAINER NAME>
```
This gives you a constant output of the log files for the php container.
### Show logs with `docker-compose`
If you are running the `docker-compose` setup you can output all logs, from all containers, with the following command
```shell
docker-compose logs -f
```
If you better want a physical log file in in your `storage/logs` folder, just add `-e LOG=single` to the [usage](#usage) command.
Or add an environment variable
```yml
...
environment:
LOG: single
...
```
to your `docker-compose.yml`.
This generated log file will only hold Invoice Ninja information.
