# Docker
You can run the timelimit server with docker. Here are two example configuration files:
## Important
Watch out to actually rebuild the images and restart the containers after updates (for example using ``docker-compose up --build``).
## example docker-compose.yml with included database
```
# change the passwords and use https://docs.docker.com/compose/environment-variables/
# to keep sensitives value in a .env file while using ${VAR_NAME} here instead
version: '3'
services:
api:
build: /path/to/the/timelimit/source/code
environment:
NODE_ENV: production
DATABASE_URL: mariadb://timelimit:timelimitpassword@database:3306/timelimit
PORT: 8080
MAIL_SENDER: me@my.timelimit.server
MAIL_TRANSPORT: '{"host": "localhost", "port": 25}'
ALWAYS_PRO: 'yes'
# put additional config variables here
ports:
- "8080:8080"
restart: always
# you can enable logging during testing by commenting this out,
# but logging is not needed when everything works
logging:
driver: none
links:
- database
database:
image: 'mariadb:10'
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: rootpassword
MYSQL_DATABASE: timelimit
MYSQL_USER: timelimit
MYSQL_PASSWORD: timelimitpassword
volumes:
- ./database:/var/lib/mysql
# you can enable logging during testing by commenting this out,
# but logging is not needed when everything works
logging:
driver: none
```
The database files will be saved at the folder which contains the docker-compose.yml.
You should change the passwords.
Docker starts both (TimeLimit and the database) at the same time,
so the TimeLimit server will crash a few times due to the missing database
before it starts working.
## example docker-compose.yml with external databases
```
# change the passwords and use https://docs.docker.com/compose/environment-variables/
# to keep sensitives value in a .env file while using ${VAR_NAME} here instead
version: '3'
services:
api:
build: /path/to/the/timelimit/source/code
environment:
NODE_ENV: production
DATABASE_URL: postgres://user:pass@example.com:5432/dbname
PORT: 8080
MAIL_SENDER: me@my.timelimit.server
MAIL_TRANSPORT: '{"host": "localhost", "port": 25}'
ALWAYS_PRO: 'yes'
# put additional config variables here

driver: none
# easy solution to use a database which does not run within docker
network_mode: "host"
# otherwise:
# redirect host port 9000 to guest port 8080 (to allow access to the API)
# ports:
# - "9000:8080"
# in case the database runs outside of docker and you don't want to use the host network mode, see
# https://forums.docker.com/t/accessing-host-machine-from-within-docker-container/14248
# or don't use docker ...
