# Note: The 5e.tools domain upon which this image relies is offline indefinitely. This image will not work until this situation is resolved.
This is a simple image for hosting your own 5eTools instance. It is based on the Apache `httpd` image and uses a heavily-modified version of the auto-updater script from the [5eTools wiki](https://wiki.5e.tools/index.php/5eTools_Install_Guide). This image is built from [this GitHub repository](https://github.com/Jafner/5etools-docker).
# Usage with Docker Run
# Usage
## Quickstart
## Default Configuration
You can quick-start this image by running:
`docker run -d -p 80:80 --rm --name 5etools-docker -v 5etools:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs jafner/5etools-docker`
`curl -o docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jafner/5etools-docker/main/docker-compose.yml`
`docker-compose up -d && docker logs -f 5etools-docker`
Then give the container a minute or two to come online and it will be accessible at `localhost`.
When you stop the container, it will automatically delete itself. The downloaded files will remain in the 5etools volume, so you can always start the container back up by re-running the command.
Then give the container a few minutes to come online and it will be accessible at `localhost:8080`.
When you stop the container, it will automatically delete itself. The downloaded files will remain in the `~/5etools-docker/htdocs` directory, so you can always start the container back up by running `docker-compose up -d`.
### Getting token images
You can configure the container's initialization script to download image files by setting the `IMG` environment variable:
`docker run -d -p 80:80 --rm --name 5etools-docker -v 5etools:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs -e IMG=true jafner/5etools-docker`
This will add a significant amount of time to the container's initialization.
The `-e` flag specifies a Docker environment variable, which is passed into the container's shell environment and allows for customization of the container during the run command. Here, the environment variable is named `IMG` and this command sets the value to `true`.
## Configuring the Setup
The image uses a handful of environment variables to figure out how you want it to run.
By default, I assume you want to automatically download the latest files from the temporary github mirror. You can configure exactly how you want the script to run with environment variables within the docker-compose file.
### Using a persistent volume
By default, this container uses a Docker-managed persistent volume for the server files. This allows the downloaded 5eTools files to persist, even if the container is destroyed. Alternatively, you can use a host directory mapping to share files between your host file system and the container.
### IMG (defaults to true)
When downloading from the `get.5e.tools` structure, grab both the base site files and the image files for the bestiary, items, adventures, etc.. This increases time and bandwidth needed to bring the server up.
#### Using a host directory mapping
You can persist your container's data by mapping a directory in the host's file system into the container. Assuming you want to use the directory `~/5etools-docker` on the host:
### AUTOUPDATE (defaults to true)
Setting this to false bypasses all downloading logic and falls back to the local files if available, or exits if there is no local version.
1. Create the directories with `mkdir -p ~/5etools-docker/htdocs/download`. This will create the three nested directories necessary to run the container.
2. Run the container with `docker run -d -p 80:80 --rm --name 5etools-docker -v ~/5etools-docker/htdocs:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs jafner/5etools-docker`
Note: host directory mappings must be absolute (cannot use `.` to refer to working directory). However, you can still refer to your working directory with `${PWD}`.
### DL_TYPE (defaults to github)
This can be set to "get", "github", or "mega". It is used to decide which logic to use to download the source files.
### Updating the container
Because this image is built on the auto-updater script, updating the container is very simple. Restart the container with `docker restart 5etools-docker`. When it restarts, the container will automatically check for an update and download it before starting.
Note: there is no way to disable this auto-updating behavior except to never restart the container. If you want a specific version of the container, it is recommended that you look into using the `httpd` image instead.
### DL_LINK (defaults to temporary mirror)
This can be set to the URL of the source files you want to use. For a github repository, use the HTTPS link ending with `.git`. For mega, use the full link to the file. For get, use the base domain (e.g. `https://get.5e.tools`), rather than a specific file.
### Using a different port
Change the value on the left side of the `-p 80:80` flag to the desired port. Leave the value on the right alone.
### Integrating a reverse proxy
## Integrating a reverse proxy
Supporting integration of a reverse proxy is beyond the scope of this guide.
However, any instructions which work for the base `httpd` (Apache) image, should also work for this, as it is minimally different.
# Usage with Docker Compose
Create the `~/5etools-docker/docker-compose.yml` file with your preferred text editor. Then add the following contents:
```yml
version: "3"
services:
5etools-docker:
container_name: 5etools-docker
image: jafner/5etools-docker:latest
volumes:
- ~/5etools-docker/htdocs:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs
environment:
- IMG=false # set to true to download images
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
```
If you would like to auto-load homebrew, you will need to follow the instructions in the Compose file.
# Auto-loading homebrew
To use auto-loading homebrew, you will need to use a host directory mapping as described above.
1. Start the container (using either `docker run` or `docker-compose`) and wait for the container to finish starting. You can monitor its progress with `docker logs -f 5etools-docker`.
1. Online the container and wait for the container to finish starting. You can monitor its progress with `docker logs -f 5etools-docker`.
2. Assuming you are using the mapping `~/5etools-docker/htdocs:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs` place your homebrew json files into the `~/5etools-docker/htdocs/homebrew/` folder, then add their filenames to the `~/5etools-docker/htdocs/homebrew/index.json` file.
For example, if your homebrew folder contains:
