# How to use this image

## ... via [`docker stack deploy`](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/stack_deploy/) or [`docker-compose`](https://github.com/docker/compose)

Example `stack.yml` for `mybb`:

```yaml
services:
mybb:
image: mybb/mybb:latest
volumes:
- ${PWD}/mybb:/var/www/html:rw

nginx:
image: nginx:mainline-alpine
ports:
- published: 8080
target: 80
volumes:
- ${PWD}/nginx:/etc/nginx/conf.d:ro
- ${PWD}/mybb:/var/www/html:ro

postgresql:
environment:
POSTGRES_DB: mybb
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: changeme
POSTGRES_USER: mybb
image: postgres:14-alpine
volumes:
- ${PWD}/postgres/data:/var/lib/postgresql/data:rw

version: '3.8'
```

Note, you'll also need a virtual host configuration file for the provided `nginx` container. You can find a very basic example [here](https://gist.github.com/kawaii/ed2fbbf11309b8f635a623fa87abce8d). Create this file as `nginx/default.conf`, respective to the location of your `docker-compose.yml` file.

You should note that static content such as images and JavaScript or CSS files must be cross-mounted between the `mybb` and `nginx` containers - as PHP-FPM is not capable of serving those natively.

# Preserving existing files

If you wish to run this image and preserve any updated `lang` or `config` files, you can add the following flag:

```
docker run mybb/mybb --skip-old-files php-fpm
```

or, within your compose file, specify the following command argument:

```yaml
services:
mybb:
image: mybb/mybb:latest
command: --skip-old-files php-fpm
volumes:
- ${PWD}/mybb:/var/www/html:rw

...
```

# How to build this image

You must provide four build-time arguments when building this Docker image; `BUILD_AUTHORS`, `BUILD_DATE`, `BUILD_SHA512SUM` and `BUILD_VERSION`.
```
docker build \
--build-arg BUILD_AUTHORS="Kane 'kawaii' Valentine " \
--build-arg BUILD_DATE=$(date -u +'%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ') \
--build-arg BUILD_SHA512SUM=be3bdec9617050abbabbfcfa40e9cd145db3a57ae70e740bc62d807b04c08a5fa42ac690a5502c344f0f7452276aa0f3802501e6d62fa76edc64ac36da25b3cd \
--build-arg BUILD_VERSION=1830 \
--tag mybb/mybb:1.8 \
--tag mybb/mybb:1.8.30 \
--tag mybb/mybb:latest \
$PWD
```
The resulting image can then be pushed to the [`mybb/mybb`](https://cloud.docker.com/u/mybb/repository/docker/mybb/mybb) Docker Hub repository:
```
docker push mybb/mybb:1.8.30
```
