Environment Variables

Variable	Default Value	Description

PUBLIC_CERT_SUBJ	/CN=localhost	the subject used if the CA certificate is created
PRIVATE_KEY	/var/www/seeddms/conf/cakey.pem	the fully qualified container path for the private certificate key

SSL_PORT	443	must match external port for https requests

Default configuration

The image is preconfigured. Nevertheless you're guided through the installation steps upon first start for a review.

1. /var/www/seeddms/data is the central data directory. It is not intended to be bound to a host directory. Instead use a docker volume.
2. /var/www/seeddms/backup is where backups are being stored. Bind it to a host directory.
3. var/www/seeddms/import is being used as drop folder. Bind it to a host directory.
4. Optionally mount /var/www/seeddms/seeddms/ext to allow upload of extensions.

Backup and import directories should be readable/writeable by uid 33!

Backup

Backup is done by syncing the data folder (partially) to the backup folder. Use environment variable CRON_BACKUP for automatic scheduling.

Full text search

Indexing documents can take some time (especially on low powered NAS). Therefore indexing is done asynchronously by a job. Use CRON_INDEX for scheduling this job.

Scheduler

seeddms comes with an internal scheduler. This scheduler itself is triggered using cron. Default configuration is to check every 5 minutes whether to fire a job. This schedule can be changed using CRON_SCHEDULER. Also make sure that a seeddms-user cli_scheduler exists.

Migrating from 5.1

If migrating from an existing 5.1 installation you need to update database first using migration.sql.
