An image running ubuntu/18.04 Linux and Spotweb.

You need a seperate MySQL / MariaDB server. This can of course be a (linked) docker container but also a dedicated database server.

First create a database on your database server, and make sure the container has access to the database, then run a temporary container.

docker run -it --rm -p 80:80 \
	-e TZ='Europe/Amsterdam' \
	vincentbitter/spotweb

Please NOTE that there is no database configuration here, this will enable the install process.

The run the Spotweb installer using the web interface: 'http://yourhost/install.php'. This will create the necessary database tables and users. Ignore the warning when it tries to save the configuration.

When you are done, exit the container (CTRL/CMD-c) and configure the permanent running container.

docker run --restart=always -d -p 80:80 \
	--hostname=spotweb \
	--name=spotweb \
	-v <hostdir_where_config_will_persistently_be_stored>:/config \
	-e 'TZ=Europe/Amsterdam' \
	-e 'SPOTWEB_DB_TYPE=pdo_mysql' \
	-e 'SPOTWEB_DB_HOST=<database_server_hostname>' \
	-e 'SPOTWEB_DB_NAME=spotweb' \
	-e 'SPOTWEB_DB_USER=spotweb' \
	-e 'SPOTWEB_DB_PASS=spotweb' \
	vincentbitter/spotweb:hotfix-403

Please NOTE that the volume is optional. Only necessary when you have special configuration settings.

You should now be able to reach the spotweb interface on port 80.

To enable automatic retrieval, you need to setup a cronjob on either the docker host or within the container.

To enable automatic retrieval, you need to setup a cronjob on the docker host.

*/15 * * * * docker exec spotweb su -l www-data -s /usr/bin/php /var/www/spotweb/retrieve.php >/dev/null 2>&1

This example will retrieve new spots every 15 minutes.

To enable automatic retrieval from within the container, use the SPOTWEB_CRON_RETRIEVE variable to specify the cron timing for retrieval. For example as additional parameter to the docker run command:

-e 'SPOTWEB_CRON_RETRIEVE=*/15 * * * *'

The container will try to auto-update the database when a newer version is released.
