Docker

If you just want to run shimmie inside docker, there's a pre-built image in dockerhub - shish2k/shimmie2 - which can be used like:

docker run -p 8000:8000 -v /my/hard/drive:/app/data shish2k/shimmie2

There are various options settable with environment variables:

• UID=1000 / GID=1000 - which user ID to run as
• INSTALL_DSN - specify a data source to install into, to skip the installer screen, eg -e INSTALL_DSN="pgsql:user=shimmie;password=6y5erdfg;host=127.0.0.1;dbname=shimmie"
• UPLOAD_MAX_FILESIZE=50M - set the web-server level upload size limits (Shimmie's own filesize limits can't go any higher than whatever this is set to)

Build custom image

If you want to build your own image from source:

docker build -t shimmie2 .

And then:

docker run -p 8000:8000 -v /my/hard/drive:/app/data shimmie2 -d
