Getting started with Docker

You can install and run ionscale using the Docker images published on GitHub Container Registry.

Requirements

• A Linux machine with port 443 and 3478 open to ingress traffic.
• Docker installed. See the official installation documentation
• A registered domain name.

Set up a A DNS records: ionscale.example.com (We are assuming that your domain name is example.com.)

!!! tip

You can use `dig` to make sure that DNS records are propagated:

``` bash
$ dig ionscale.example.com
```

Step 2. Run ionscale with Docker

Configure ionscale

mkdir -p ionscale/data
cd ./ionscale

Generate a configuration file for ionscale with the following commands:

export IONSCALE_ACME_EMAIL=<your email>
export IONSCALE_DOMAIN=ionscale.example.com
export IONSCALE_SYSTEM_ADMIN_KEY=$(docker run ghcr.io/jsiebens/ionscale:0.15.0 genkey -n)

tee ./config.yaml >/dev/null <<EOF
listen_addr: ":443"
public_addr: "${IONSCALE_DOMAIN}:443"
stun_public_addr: "${IONSCALE_DOMAIN}:3478"

tls:
  acme: true
  acme_email: "${IONSCALE_ACME_EMAIL}"

keys:
  system_admin_key: "${IONSCALE_SYSTEM_ADMIN_KEY}"
  
database:
  url: "/data/ionscale.db?_pragma=busy_timeout(5000)&_pragma=journal_mode(WAL)"

logging:
  level: info
EOF

Start ionscale

docker run \
  -v $(pwd)/config.yaml:/etc/ionscale/config.yaml \
  -v $(pwd)/data:/data \
  -p 443:443 \
  -p 3478:3478/udp \
  ghcr.io/jsiebens/ionscale:0.15.0 server --config /etc/ionscale/config.yaml
