Unofficial Docker image for goatcounter - simple web statistics

docker run --name goatcounter \
  -e GOATCOUNTER_DOMAIN=stats.domain.com \
  -e [email protected] \
  baethon/goatcounter

This command will start a single instance with pre-configured stats.domain.com site.

GOATCOUNTER_DOMAIN and GOATCOUNTER_EMAIL are mandatory.

This mandatory environment variable is used to create the initial site.

This mandatory environment variable defines the e-mail address of the admin user.

It's used to create the initial site and is passed as an -auth option to the serve command.

Available since v1.4.

This mandatory environment variable defines the password of the admin user.

This optional environment variable defines the SMTP server (e.g., smtp://user:[email protected]:587) which will be used by the server.

Default: stdout - print email contents to stdout

This optional environment variable defines the location of the database. By default, the server will use SQLite database which is recommended solution.

It's possible to use the Postgres DB however, the image was not tested against it.

Don't change this value unless you know what you're doing.

Default: sqlite:///goatcounter/db/goatconter.sqlite3

During startup, the container will try to execute all available migrations. What you see, is the output of goatcounter migrate command.

You forgot to set one of the mandatory env variables.

The entrypoint script tries to create the initial site on every container startup. Once it's created, the goatcounter create command will report this error. It's safe to ignore it.
