### Automatic
#### Exec install shell script for auto installation and configuration
download with
```
git clone https://github.com/damalis/full-stack-apache2-eprints-for-everyone-with-docker-compose.git

```
### Manual
#### Requirements
Make sure you have the latest versions of **Docker** and **Docker Compose** installed on your machine.
- [How install docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/)
- [How install docker compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)

```
git clone https://github.com/damalis/full-stack-apache2-eprints-for-everyone-with-docker-compose.git
```
Open a terminal and `cd` to the folder in which `docker-compose.yml` is saved and run:
```
cd full-stack-apache2-eprints-for-everyone-with-docker-compose
```
Copy the example environment into `.env`
```
cp env.example .env
```
Edit the `.env` file to change values of
|```LOCAL_TIMEZONE```|```SUBDOMAIN```|```DOMAIN_NAME```|```DIRECTORY_PATH```|```LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL```|
|```DB_USER```|```DB_PASSWORD```|```DB_NAME```|```MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD```|```DATABASE_IMAGE_NAME```|
|```DATABASE_CONT_NAME```|```DATABASE_PACKAGE_MANAGER```|```DATABASE_ADMIN_COMMANDLINE```|```PMA_CONTROLUSER```|```PMA_CONTROLPASS```|

#### Installation
Firstly: will create external volume
```
docker volume create --driver local --opt type=none --opt device=${PWD}/certbot --opt o=bind certbot-etc
```
Localhost ssl: Generate Self-signed SSL Certificate with guide [mkcert repository](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert).
```
docker compose up -d # Starts services in detached mode (in the background)
```
then
```
docker container restart webserver # reloading for webserver ssl configuration
```
The containers are now built and running. You should be able to access the EPrints installation with the configured IP in the browser address. `https://DOMAIN_NAME`.
For convenience you may add a new entry into your hosts file.
### Portainer
```
docker compose -f portainer-docker-compose.yml -p portainer up -d
```
manage docker with [Portainer](https://www.portainer.io/) is the definitive container management tool for Docker, Docker Swarm with it's highly intuitive GUI and API.
You can also visit `https://DOMAIN_NAME:9001` to access portainer after starting the containers.
### Usage
#### You could manage docker containers without command line with portainer.
#### Here’s a quick reference of commonly used Docker Compose commands
```
docker ps -a # Lists all containers managed by the compose file
```
```
docker compose start # Starts previously stopped containers
```
```
docker compose stop # Stops all running containers
```
```
docker compose down # Stops and removes containers, networks, etc.
```
```
docker compose down -v # Add --volumes to remove volumes explicitly
```
```
docker rm -f $(docker ps -a -q) # Removes portainer and the other containers
```
```
docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q) # Removes all volumes
```
```
docker network prune # Remove all unused networks
```
```
docker system prune # Removes unused data (containers, networks, images, and optionally volumes)
```
```
docker system prune -a # Removes all unused images, not just dangling ones
```
```
docker rmi $(docker image ls -q) # Removes portainer and the other images
```
```
docker container logs container_name_or_id # Shows logs from all services
```
#### Project from existing source
Copy all files into a new directory:
```
docker compose up -d # Starts services in detached mode (in the background)
```
#### docker compose reference
[https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/compose/](https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/compose/)
#### EPrints
You should see the "Welcome to ..." page in your browser. If not, please check if your [EPrints configurations](https://wiki.eprints.org/w/Main_Page).
```
https://archive_id.DOMAIN_NAME
```
Login Page: |```Username: admin```|```Password: admin123```|
add and/or remove EPrints site folders and files with any ftp client program in ```./eprints``` folder.
You can also visit `https://subdomain.DOMAIN_NAME` to access EPrints after starting the containers.
#### Website
You should see the "Hello, World!" page in your browser. If not, please check if your PERL installation satisfies requirements.
```
https://DOMAIN_NAME
```
add and/or remove website site folders and files with any ftp client program in ```./website``` folder.
You can also visit `https://DOMAIN_NAME` to access website after starting the containers.
#### Webserver
add or remove code in the ```./webserver/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf.template``` file for custom apache2/httpd configurations then restart container webserver
[https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/)
#### phpMyAdmin
You can add your own custom config.inc.php settings (such as Configuration Storage setup) by creating a file named config.user.inc.php with the various user defined settings in it, and then linking it into the container using:
```
./phpmyadmin/config.user.inc.php
```
You can also visit `https://DOMAIN_NAME:9090` to access phpMyAdmin after starting the containers.
The first authorize screen(htpasswd;username or password) and phpmyadmin login screen the username and the password is the same as supplied in the `.env` file.
#### backup
This will back up the all files and folders in database/dump sql and html volumes, once per day, and write it to ```./backups``` with a filename like backup-2023-01-01T10-18-00.tar.gz
##### can run on a custom cron schedule
```BACKUP_CRON_EXPRESSION: '20 01 * * *'``` the UTC timezone.
