Deploy with Docker

Docker compose is the easiest way to get started with self-hosted AcademyKit. However if you have database on separately installed, then you might want to use the docker run directly.

Before you begin

You need the following installed in your system:

Docker
docker-compose if you want to deploy with docker compose

Deploy with Docker Run

With Separate database server

Prepare the connection string to database as below formatServer={serverAddress};Database={dbName};User={dbUsername};Password={dbPassword};Convert Zero Datetime=True;and replace {connectionString} in below command

docker run --name academykit \
-e ConnectionStrings__DefaultConnection="{connectionString}" \
-e JWT__DurationInMinutes=60 \
-e ConnectionStrings__HangfireConnection="{connectionString}Allow User Variables=True;" \
-e Hangfire__User=sysAdmin \
-e Hangfire__Password=sysAdminPassword \
-e AppUrls__App=http://localhost:80 \
-p 80:80 \
--restart always \
academykit/academy:main

Now visit http://localhost:80 to start using AcademyKit.

Setup both database and app on same machine

This is not recommended for production usage

Create a docker network

docker network create academy-kit-network

Run MySQL Change the password, username and container name as required

docker run --name academykit-db \
  --network academy-kit-network \
  -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password \
  -e MYSQL_USER=academykit \
  -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=password \
  -e MYSQL_DATABASE=academykit \
  -p 3306:3306 \
  --restart always \
  mysql:8.0.33

Run the academyKit Change the environment variables as required.

docker run --name academykit \
--network academy-kit-network \
-e ConnectionStrings__DefaultConnection="Server=academykit-db;Database=academykit;User=academykit;Password=password;Convert Zero Datetime=True;" \
-e JWT__DurationInMinutes=60 \
-e ConnectionStrings__HangfireConnection="Server=academykit-db;Database=academykit;User=academykit;Password=password;Convert Zero Datetime=True;Allow User Variables=True;" \
-e Hangfire__User=sysAdmin \
-e Hangfire__Password=pwadfssw0rd \
-e AppUrls__App=http://localhost:80 \
-p 80:80 \
--restart always \
academykit/academy:main

Now visit http://localhost:80 to start using AcademyKit.

Deploy With Docker Compose

Docker compose is the easiest way to get started with self-hosted AcademyKit.

Quick Start

Create docker-compose.yml inside a folder as below:

docker-compose.yml

 version: "3.9"

 services:
   academykit-db:
     image: mysql:8.0.33
     container_name: academykit-db
     environment:
       MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: password
       MYSQL_USER: academykit
       MYSQL_PASSWORD: password
       MYSQL_DATABASE: academykit
     ports:
       - "3306:3306"
     restart: always
     volumes:
       - academykit-db-data:/var/lib/mysql
 
   academykit:
     image: academykit/academy:main
     container_name: academykit
     environment:
       ConnectionStrings__DefaultConnection: "Server=academykit-db;Database=academykit;User=academykit;Password=password;Convert Zero Datetime=True;"
       JWT__DurationInMinutes: "60"
       ConnectionStrings__HangfireConnection: "Server=academykit-db;Database=academykit;User=academykit;Password=password;Convert Zero Datetime=True;Allow User Variables=True;"
       Hangfire__User: "sysAdmin"
       Hangfire__Password: "pwadfssw0rd"
       AppUrls__App: "http://localhost:80"
     ports:
       - "80:80"
     restart: always
     depends_on:
       - academykit-db
 
 volumes:
   academykit-db-data:


2. Run the docker compose

   ```bash
   docker compose up

Now visit http://localhost:80 to start using AcademyKit.
