youtrack-docker

Dead-simple youtrack deployment using docker

These Dockerfiles allow you to easily build images to deploy your own youtrack instance. It's free for up to ten users, so yeah.

Disclaimer

(quote) Please note Docker is currently under heavy development. It should not be used in production (yet)

Besides that, as always, use these scripts with care.

Don't forget to back up your data very often, too.

Requirements

Docker has to run. It supports many platforms like Ubuntu, Arch Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, EC2 or the Google Cloud. Click here to get specific infos on how to install on your platform.

You also need some RAM for youtrack, but I can't really tell how much. Maybe about 200-300MB.

Oh nice! How do I do it?

1. Install docker. It's not very hard.
2. Check out this repository:

git clone git://github.com/voidus/youtrack-docker && cd youtrack-docker

3. Create images

docker build -t youtrack-data data

docker build -t youtrack youtrack

4. Create your data container

docker run --name youtrack-data-container youtrack-data true

5. Run it! (Stop with CTRL-C, repeat at pleasure)

docker run --volumes-from youtrack-data-container -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8000 --rm youtrack

Now open your browser and point it to http://localhost:8080 and rejoice. :)

When deploying, take a look at the provided apache config file.

A little explanation

The last commands parameters might have to be adjusted a little, so I'll explain them one by one.

--volumes-from youtrack-data-container

This makes youtrack use your data. Handle with care.

-p 127.0.0.1:8080:8000

This makes the port 8000 that youtrack listens at available to 127.0.0.1 on port 8080. If you want to directly expose it, remove 127.0.0.1:. If you want to change the port, change 8080. Don't change 8000, it depends on internal stuff.

--rm

This removes the container generated by the command after it is finished. As all interesting data is stored in youtrack-data-container, keeping it would just make your docker-list long.

Miscellaneous

• I appreciate feedback of all kinds. Best thing since sliced bread? Drop me a line. Killed your dog? Let's see if I can find out how and maybe the next one can be spared.
• Again, don't forget to make backups.
• Assuming you trust in Docker, this should a production grade setup as far as I can tell. But, as always: If you're doing anything important, get someone who knows your situation do be the judge of that.
