Docker Install for Paid Members Set License as ENV Variable

[neoark]

Can you make it easier for paid members to install/upgrade Docker? Currently, it requires re-entering the key. Can the key be set as an environment variable in Docker, enabling the paid version to be enabled at the start of Docker?

It is indeed already easy, is just that the documentation sucks.

When you set CHEVERETO_SERVICING=server what you cause is that the Chevereto application is served in the old "root" way of doing things, including application filesystem upgrades. That enables you to enter the key, store it, and upgrade to the paid application files.

But docker is designed to be persistent, when you re-start the container it will revert to the original state (the application files from Chevereto free edition).

To avoid this, simply mount a volume at /var/www/html/.

docker run -d \
  --name chevereto \
  -p 80:80 \
  -e CHEVERETO_DB_HOST=database \
  -e CHEVERETO_DB_USER=chevereto \
  -e CHEVERETO_DB_PASS=user_database_password \
  -e CHEVERETO_DB_PORT=3306 \
  -e CHEVERETO_DB_NAME=chevereto \
  -e CHEVERETO_ASSET_STORAGE_TYPE=local \
  -e CHEVERETO_ASSET_STORAGE_URL=/images/_assets/ \
  -e CHEVERETO_ASSET_STORAGE_BUCKET=/var/www/html/images/_assets/ \
  -e CHEVERETO_MAX_POST_SIZE=2G \
  -e CHEVERETO_MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE=2G \
  -e CHEVERETO_SERVICING=server \
  -v /var/www/html/images/ \
  -v /var/www/html/ \
  ghcr.io/chevereto/chevereto:latest

Or if you use docker-compose:

services:
  database:
    image: mariadb:jammy
    networks:
      - chevereto
    volumes:
      - database:/var/lib/mysql
    restart: always
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "healthcheck.sh", "--su-mysql", "--connect"]
      interval: 10s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 3
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: password
      MYSQL_DATABASE: chevereto
      MYSQL_USER: chevereto
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: user_database_password
  php:
    image: chevereto/chevereto:latest # tweak with target image to run
    networks:
      - chevereto
    volumes:
      - storage:/var/www/html/images/
      # - app:/var/www/html/ # uncomment when using CHEVERETO_SERVICING=server
    restart: always
    depends_on:
      database:
        condition: service_healthy
    expose:
      - 80
    environment:
      CHEVERETO_DB_HOST: database
      CHEVERETO_DB_USER: chevereto
      CHEVERETO_DB_PASS: user_database_password
      CHEVERETO_DB_PORT: 3306
      CHEVERETO_DB_NAME: chevereto
      CHEVERETO_HOSTNAME: hostname.com
      CHEVERETO_HOSTNAME_PATH: /
      CHEVERETO_HTTPS: 0
      CHEVERETO_ASSET_STORAGE_TYPE: local
      CHEVERETO_ASSET_STORAGE_URL: http://hostname.com/images/_assets/ #hostname-aware URL
      CHEVERETO_ASSET_STORAGE_BUCKET: /var/www/html/images/_assets/
      CHEVERETO_MAX_POST_SIZE: 2G
      CHEVERETO_MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE: 2G
      # CHEVERETO_SERVICING: server # uncomment to enable application filesystem upgrades
volumes:

Hello,

That doesn't work with Unraid—every time I pull from docker. I have to go through activation.

Need a way to be able to be able to specify a path and not a mount.

In my example I used a volume, but you can also bind mount. It doesn't matter for the application.
