Deploy Focalboard with Docker

Docker

The Dockerfile gives a quick and easy way to pull the latest Focalboard server and deploy it locally. Please note that if you wish to have persistence and mount a volume for the /data directory, the host directory must be owned by user nobody.

sudo chown -R nobody /home/user/focalboard-data
docker build -t focalboard .
docker run -it -v "/home/user/focalboard-data:/data" -p 80:8000 focalboard

The -v flag can be used to store Focalboard's database and uploaded files in a directory on the Docker host

Open a browser to http://localhost to start

Docker-Compose

Docker-Compose provides the option to automate the build and run step, or even include some of the steps from the personal server setup.

To start the server run

docker-compose up

This will automatically build the focalboard image and start it with the http port mapping.

To run focalboard with a nginx proxy and a postgres backend run

docker-compose -f docker-compose-db-nginx.yml up
