## Docker
The provided docker image runs this script to watch a directory for
new files. If a new file is detected, it is pushed to docspell.
The provided docker image runs this script to watch a single
directory, `./docs` in current directory, for new files. If a new file
is detected, it is pushed to docspell.
For this to work, the container must know about a valid upload url.
Therefore, you must first signup and create such an upload url, as
described [here](doc/uploading#anonymous-upload). Get only the id
(something like `AvR6sA8GKFm-hgYDgZfwzXa-Tqnu8yqyz6X-KzuefvEvrRf`) and
define an environment variable `SOURCE_ID` with that value before
running `docker-compose up` a second time.
This utilizes the [integration
endpoint](../uploading#integration-endpoint), which is enabled in the
config file, to allow uploading documents for all collectives. A
subfolder must be created for each registered collective. The docker
containers are configured to use http-header protection for the
integration endpoint. This requires you to provide a secret, that is
shared between the rest-server and the `consumedir.sh` script. This
can be done by defining an environment variable which gets picked up
by the containers defined in `docker-compose.yml`:
```
export SOURCE_ID="AvR6sA8GKFm-hgYDgZfwzXa-Tqnu8yqyz6X-KzuefvEvrRf"
export DOCSPELL_HEADER_VALUE="my-secret"
docker-compose up
```
Now you can create a folder `./docs` and place all files in there that
you want to import. Once dropped in this folder the `consumedir`
container will push it to docspell.
Now you can create a folder `./docs/<collective-name>` and place all
files in there that you want to import. Once dropped in this folder
the `consumedir` container will push it to docspell.

The environment variable defines a secret that is shared between
some containers. You can define whatever you like. Please see the
[`consumedir.sh`](doc/tools/consumedir#docker) docs for additional
info.
4. Goto <http://localhost:7880>, signup and login. Create a folder
`./docs/<collective-name>` and place files in there for importing
them.
The directory contains a file `docspell.conf` that you can
[modify](doc/configure) as needed.
### Watching files in a directory
This setup starts a container running the
[`consumedir.sh`](doc/tools/consumedir) script. It is configured to
watch one directory and upload files arriving in there to docspell.
Please see the [`consumedir.sh`](doc/tools/consumedir#docker) docs for
additional steps.
