Prerequisites

This image assumes that you are using a reverse proxy such as jwilder/nginx-proxy and optionally the Let's Encrypt Proxy Companion @ https://github.com/JrCs/docker-letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion in order to serve your pages. However, it will run just fine on it's own if you map appropriate ports. See the examples folder for a docker-compose.yml that does not rely on a reverse proxy.

You will also need an external MySQL/MariaDB Container

Installation

Automated builds of the image are available on Docker Hub and is the recommended method of installation.

docker pull tiredofit/freescout

Quick Start

• The quickest way to get started is using docker-compose. See the examples folder for a working docker-compose.yml that can be modified for development or production use.

• Set various environment variables to understand the capabilities of this image.

• Map persistent storage for access to configuration and data files for backup.

• Make networking ports available for public access if necessary

*The first boot can take from 2 minutes - 5 minutes depending on your CPU to setup the proper schemas.

Login to the web server and enter in your admin email address, admin password and start configuring the system!
