# Docker
There is a [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) setup
available in the `/docker` folder. This setup is also taking care of
all the necessary [prerequisites](@/docs/install/prereq.md) and
creates a container to watch a directory for incoming files. It's only
3 steps:
1. Clone the github repository
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/eikek/docspell
```
2. Change into the `docker` directory:
```bash
$ cd docspell/docker
```
3. Run `docker-compose up`:
```bash
$ export DOCSPELL_HEADER_VALUE="my-secret-123"
$ docker-compose up
```
The environment variable defines a secret that is shared between
some containers. You can define whatever you like. Please see the
[consumedir.sh](@/docs/tools/consumedir.md#docker) docs for
additional info.
4. Goto `http://localhost:7880`, signup and login. When signing up,
you can choose the same name for collective and user. Then login
with this name and the password.
5. (Optional) Create a folder `./docs/<collective-name>` (the name you
chose for the collective at registration) and place files in there
for importing them.
The directory contains a file `docspell.conf` that you can
[modify](@/docs/configure/_index.md) as needed.
# Download, Unpack, Run
You can install via zip or deb archives. Please see the
[prerequisites](@/docs/install/prereq.md) first.
## Using zip files
You need to download the two files:
- [docspell-restserver-{{version()}}.zip](https://github.com/eikek/docspell/releases/download/v{{version()}}/docspell-restserver-{{version()}}.zip)
- [docspell-joex-{{version()}}.zip](https://github.com/eikek/docspell/releases/download/v{{version()}}/docspell-joex-{{version()}}.zip)
1. Unzip both files:
``` bash
$ unzip docspell-*.zip
```
2. Open two terminal windows and navigate to the the directory
containing the zip files.
3. Start both components executing:
``` bash
$ ./docspell-restserver*/bin/docspell-restserver
```
in one terminal and
``` bash
$ ./docspell-joex*/bin/docspell-joex
```
in the other.
4. Point your browser to: <http://localhost:7880/app>
5. Register a new account, sign in and try it.
Note, that this setup doesn't include watching a directory. You can
use the [consumedir.sh](@/docs/tools/consumedir.md) tool for this or
use the docker variant below.
## Using deb files
The DEB packages can be installed on Debian, or Debian based Distros:
``` bash
$ sudo dpkg -i docspell*.deb
```
Then the start scripts are in your `$PATH`. Run `docspell-restserver`
or `docspell-joex` from a terminal window.
The packages come with a systemd unit file that will be installed to
autostart the services.
# Nix
## Install via Nix
Docspell can be installed via the [nix](https://nixos.org/nix) package
manager, which is available for Linux and OSX. Docspell is currently not
part of the [nixpkgs collection](https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/), but you
can use the derivation from this repository. This is sometimes
referred to as [import from
derivation](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Import_From_Derivation).
For example, the `builtins.fetchTarball` function can be used to
retrieve the files; then import the `release.nix` file:
``` nix
let
docspellsrc = builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/eikek/docspell/archive/master.tar.gz";
in
import "${docspellsrc}/nix/release.nix";
```
This creates a set containing a function for creating a derivation for
docspell. This then needs to be called like other custom packages. For
example, in your `~/.nixpkgs/config.nix` you could write this:
``` nix
let
docspellsrc = builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/eikek/docspell/archive/master.tar.gz";
docspell = import "${docspellsrc}/nix/release.nix";
in
{ packageOverrides = pkgs:
let
callPackage = pkgs.lib.callPackageWith(custom // pkgs);
custom = {
docspell = callPackage docspell.currentPkg {};
};
in custom;
}
```
The `docspell` custom package is again a set that contains derivations
for all 3 installable docspell programs: the restserver, joex and the
tools.
Then you can install docspell via `nix-shell` or `nix-env`, for example:
``` bash
$ nix-env -iA nixpkgs.docspell.server nixpkgs.docspell.joex nixpkgs.docspell.tools
```
You may need to replace `nixpkgs` with `nixos` when you're on NixOS.
The expression `docspell.currentPkg` refers to the most current
release of Docspell. So even if you use the tarball of the current
master branch, the `release.nix` file only contains derivations for
releases. The expression `docspell.currentPkg` is a shortcut for
selecting the most current release. For example it translates to
`docspell.pkg docspell.cfg.v{{ pversion() }}` if the current version
is `{{version()}}`.
## Docspell on NixOS {#nixos}
If you are running [NixOS](https://nixos.org), there is a module
definition for installing Docspell as a service using systemd.
There are the following modules provided:
- restserver
- joex
- consumedir
The `consumedir` module defines a systemd unit that starts the
`consumedir.sh` script to watch one or more directories for new files.
You need to import the `release.nix` file as described above in your
`configuration.nix` and then append the docspell module to your list of
modules. Here is an example:
```nix
{ config, pkgs, ... }:
let
docspellsrc = builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/eikek/docspell/archive/master.tar.gz";
docspell = import "${docspellsrc}/nix/release.nix";
in
{
imports = [ mymodule1 mymodule2 ] ++ docspell.modules;
nixpkgs = {
config = {
packageOverrides = pkgs:
let
callPackage = pkgs.lib.callPackageWith(custom // pkgs);
custom = {
docspell = callPackage docspell.currentPkg {};
};
in custom;
};
};
services.docspell-restserver = {
enable = true;
base-url = "http://docspelltest:7880";
# ... more settings here
};
services.docspell-joex = {
enable = true;
base-url = "http://docspelltexst:7878";
# ... more settings here
};
services.docspell-consumedir = {
enable = true;
watchDirs = ["/tmp/test"];
urls = ["http://localhost:7880/api/v1/open/upload/item/the-source-id"];
};
...
}
```
Please see the `nix/module-server.nix` and `nix/module-joex.nix` files
for the set of options. The nixos options are modelled after the
default configuration file.
The modules files are only applicable to the newest version of
Docspell. If you really need an older version, checkout the
appropriate commit.
### NixOS Example
This is a example system configuration that installs docspell with a
postgres database. This snippet can be used to create a vm (using
`nixos-rebuild build-vm` as shown above) or a container, for example.
``` nix
{ config, pkgs, ... }:
let
docspellsrc = builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/eikek/docspell/archive/master.tar.gz";
docspell = import "${docspellsrc}/nix/release.nix";
in
{
imports = docspell.modules;
nixpkgs = {
config = {
packageOverrides = pkgs:
let
callPackage = pkgs.lib.callPackageWith(custom // pkgs);
custom = {
docspell = callPackage docspell.currentPkg {};
};
in custom;
};
};
