How to use this image

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jhmaverick/hestiacp-docker/main/docker-compose.yml
HSTC_HOSTNAME="example.com" docker-compose up -d

A random password will be generated for the admin user and will be displayed in the container logs on first run.

Note: MariaDB runs in a separate container to optimize initialization time for the main container.

Build your own image

The docker-helper used in the project is just a layer for docker-compose that makes it possible to use variables for different environments, custom scripts and hooks. It depends on docker and docker-compose being installed and must be run with bash docker-helper or ./docker-helper.

All configurations for building, running and pushing the images can be found in the docker-helper.yml in the project root.

Build image

Run the build script informing the name of the image that will be built.

./docker-helper image-build <image>

Example:

./docker-helper image-build stable

Run image

Start services using stable image:

./docker-helper up

Start services using another image:

./docker-helper image-up <image>

Example:

./docker-helper image-up beta

Local Access

Admin URL: https://hestiacp.localhost:8083

Push image

Run the push script by entering the image name defined in docker-helper.yml.

./docker-helper image-push <image> <all|version|latest|<any>>

Example:

Push stable image with latest and version:

./docker-helper image-push stable all

Known Issues

Build terminating for no apparent reason

Rerun the build with the --no-cache option. Ex: ./docker-helper image-build stable --no-cache.
If that doesn't solve the problem, check the zlib version in the "hst_autocompile.sh". When a new version of zlib is released, the old one is removed from the official website causing an error when compiling. You can update the version by adding the variable "ZLIB_VERSION" in the .env in the project root or by updating in the hst_autocompile.sh.

The data directory cannot be deleted

Run ./docker-helper fix-data-chattr and try again
