Running the container

This image is available for arm64 and amd64. The right version for you system will automatically be pulled.

This container only exposes port 80/tcp. It is advised to run this configuration through a reverse proxy providing SSL if the service will be exposed over the internet. Data is saved in the container at /flox.

To use the container you will need to set the env variable tmdb_api_key with your own TheMovieDatabase API key. It is also recommended that you set flox_admin_pass. On first startup you also need to set flox_db_init to true.

---

An minimal configuration example would be:

# with docker run
cd <project_root>
docker run -p '80:80' --volume '/<data-directory>/:/flox/' -e tmdb_api_key=<key> -e flox_db_init=true --name flox olofvndrhr:flox-dockerized:latest

# with docker-compose (be sure to check all environment variables and change when neccesary)
cd <project_root>
nano docker-compose.yml # set tmdb_api_key & flox_db_init
docker-compose pull
docker-compose up -d

In order to create an admin user you will need to run an initial migration. This can be done by running the container once with the environment variable flox_db_init=true. If the env variables flox_username and flox_password are not set, the default login is: admin:admin.

You can then connect to http://localhost to access the application. If you mounted the data directory, all changes will be saved through container recreation.

In the data directory is a file called .lock. This file controls whether or not to "reset" all application data. So don't remove the file unless you want to reset you installation. The removed data will still be available in the running container in the directory /tmp/flox until you remove the container. After a reset you need to start the container with flox_db_init=true again.
