Information

Builds a docker image for seeddms (https://www.seeddms.org). Extended from image created by nlippke (https://github.com/nlippke/seeddms-docker)

This image supports OCR processing for images and PDFs out of the box. Other types can be configured and converted using web interface. Cron is also included to handle jobs internally (backup, index, ...).

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.
