docker-solid-server

Containerized version of node-solid-server

How to use

For quickly check out this image or solid-server in general you can run:

docker run -p 8443:8443 aveltens/solid-server

You will be able to access the server via https://localhost:8443 then. It will use auto-generated self-signed certificates and is not suited for production use. For a production server you will have to create some real certificates and configure environment variables, like SOLID_SERVER_URI, SOLID_SSL_KEY and SOLID_SSL_CERT. Take a look at the examples folder at GitHub for details.

Environment variables

All solid configuration flags can be set by an equivalent environment variable. The official solid-server documentation explains them in detail.

Docker compose

For a productive setup you may want to use docker-compose. Example setups can be found in the examples folder. Here is an overview of what is in there:

Simple setup without proxy

./examples/docker-compose.simple.yml

Run solid-server directly on HTTPS port 443 without a proxy in between. You will need to have your certificates ready and mount them into the container.

Running solid behind nginx proxy

./examples/docker-compose.nginx.yml

Run solid-server on port 8443 behind a nginx proxy on 443. You will need to setup an nginx container with letsencrypt companion as described here.

All-in one nginx proxy + letsencrypt + solid server

./examples/docker-compose.all-in-one.yml

Run solid-server on port 8443 behind a nginx proxy on 443, including certificate generation via letsencrypt companion.
