# Docker Setup for SurfSense This document explains how to run the SurfSense project using Docker Compose. ## Prerequisites - Docker and Docker Compose installed on your machine - Git (to clone the repository) ## Environment Variables Configuration SurfSense Docker setup supports configuration through environment variables. You can set these variables in two ways: 1. Create a `.env` file in the project root directory (copy from `.env.example`) 2. Set environment variables directly in your shell before running Docker Compose The following environment variables are available: ``` # Frontend Configuration FRONTEND_PORT=3000 NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://backend:8000 # Backend Configuration BACKEND_PORT=8000 # Database Configuration POSTGRES_USER=postgres POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres POSTGRES_DB=surfsense POSTGRES_PORT=5432 # pgAdmin Configuration PGADMIN_PORT=5050 PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL=admin@surfsense.com PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=surfsense ``` ## Setup 1. Make sure you have all the necessary environment variables set up: - Copy `surfsense_backend/.env.example` to `surfsense_backend/.env` and fill in the required values - Copy `surfsense_web/.env.example` to `surfsense_web/.env` and fill in the required values - Optionally: Copy `.env.example` to `.env` in the project root to customize Docker settings 2. Build and start the containers: ```bash docker-compose up --build ``` 3. To run in detached mode (in the background): ```bash docker-compose up -d ``` 4. Access the applications: - Frontend: http://localhost:3000 - Backend API: http://localhost:8000 - API Documentation: http://localhost:8000/docs - pgAdmin: http://localhost:5050 ## Useful Commands - Stop the containers: ```bash docker-compose down ``` - View logs: ```bash # All services docker-compose logs -f # Specific service docker-compose logs -f backend docker-compose logs -f frontend docker-compose logs -f db docker-compose logs -f pgadmin ``` - Restart a specific service: ```bash docker-compose restart backend ``` - Execute commands in a running container: ```bash # Backend docker-compose exec backend python -m pytest # Frontend docker-compose exec frontend pnpm lint ``` ## Database The PostgreSQL database with pgvector extensions is available at: - Host: localhost - Port: 5432 (configurable via POSTGRES_PORT) - Username: postgres (configurable via POSTGRES_USER) - Password: postgres (configurable via POSTGRES_PASSWORD) - Database: surfsense (configurable via POSTGRES_DB) You can connect to it using any PostgreSQL client or the included pgAdmin. ## pgAdmin pgAdmin is a web-based administration tool for PostgreSQL. It is included in the Docker setup for easier database management. - URL: http://localhost:5050 (configurable via PGADMIN_PORT) - Default Email: admin@surfsense.com (configurable via PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL) - Default Password: surfsense (configurable via PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD) ### Connecting to the Database in pgAdmin 1. Log in to pgAdmin using the credentials above 2. Right-click on "Servers" in the left sidebar and select "Create" > "Server" 3. In the "General" tab, give your connection a name (e.g., "SurfSense DB") 4. In the "Connection" tab, enter the following: - Host: db - Port: 5432 - Maintenance database: surfsense - Username: postgres - Password: postgres 5. Click "Save" to establish the connection ## Troubleshooting - If you encounter permission errors, you may need to run the docker commands with `sudo`. - If ports are already in use, modify the port mappings in the `.env` file or directly in the `docker-compose.yml` file. - For backend dependency issues, you may need to modify the `Dockerfile` in the backend directory. - For frontend dependency issues, you may need to modify the `Dockerfile` in the frontend directory. - If pgAdmin doesn't connect to the database, ensure you're using `db` as the hostname, not `localhost`, as that's the Docker network name.
