# Ferdi-server-docker
[Ferdi](https://github.com/getferdi/ferdi) is a hard-fork of [Franz](https://github.com/meetfranz/franz), adding awesome features and removing unwanted ones. Ferdi-server is an unofficial replacement of the Franz server for use with the Ferdi Client. 

This is a dockerized version of [Ferdi-server](https://github.com/getferdi/server) running on Alpine Linux and Node.js (v10.16.3).

## Why use a custom Ferdi-server?
A custom Ferdi-server allows you to experience the full potential of the Ferdi Client. It allows you to use all Premium features (e.g. Workspaces and custom URL recipes) and [add your own recipes](#creating-and-using-custom-recipes).

## Features
- [x] User registration and login
- [x] Service creation, download, listing and removing
- [x] Workspace support
- [x] Functioning service store
- [x] User dashboard
- [x] Password recovery
- [x] Export/import data to other Ferdi-servers
- [ ] Recipe update

## Installation & Setup

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container.

The docker can be run as is, with the default sqlite database, or you can modify your environment variables to use an external database (e.g. MySQL, MariaDB, Postgres, etc). After setting up the docker container you will likely need to create a reverse proxy to access Ferdi-server outside of your home network, using a webserver such as NGINX.

### docker

Pull the docker image:

    docker pull getferdi/ferdi-server

To create the docker container with the proper parameters:

	docker create \
	  --name=ferdi-server \
	  -e NODE_ENV=development \
	  -e EXTERNAL_DOMAIN=<ferdi-serverdomain> \  
	  -e DB_CONNECTION=<database> \
	  -e DB_HOST=<yourdbhost> \
	  -e DB_PORT=<yourdbport> \
	  -e DB_USER=<yourdbuser> \
	  -e DB_PASSWORD=<yourdbpass> \
	  -e DB_DATABASE=<yourdbdatabase> \
	  -e DB_SSL=false \
	  -e MAIL_CONNECTION=smtp \
	  -e SMPT_HOST=<smtpmailserver> \
	  -e SMTP_PORT=<smtpport> \
	  -e MAIL_SSL=true/false \
	  -e MAIL_USERNAME=<yourmailusername> \
	  -e MAIL_PASSWORD=<yourmailpassword> \
	  -e MAIL_SENDER=<sendemailaddress> \
	  -e IS_CREATION_ENABLED=true \
	  -e IS_DASHBOARD_ENABLED=true \
	  -e IS_REGISTRATION_ENABLED=true \
	  -e CONNECT_WITH_FRANZ=true \
	  -e DATA_DIR=/data \
	  -p <port>:3333 \
	  -v <path to data>:/config \
	  -v <path to database>:/app/database \
	  -v <path to recipes>:/app/recipes \
	  --restart unless-stopped \
	  getferdi/ferdi-server

### docker-compose

  You can use the provided sample [docker-compose.yml](https://github.com/getferdi/server/tree/master/docker/docker-compose.yml) if you are happy with the default environmental variables. This will pull the latest image from Docker Hub or use a local copy of the image which you can build using the instructions provided in the [Building locally section](#building-locally).
  
  To start the application, use
		
		docker-compose up
The server will be launched at [http://localhost:3333/](http://localhost:3333/)	address.

**Existing users please note:** The latest updates to Ferdi-server and the Ferdi-server Docker image introduce changes to the default SQLite database name and location, as well as the internal containeer port. Please see the comments in the sample [./docker/docker-compose.yml](https://github.com/getferdi/server/tree/master/docker/docker-compose.yml) in order to continue using your existing database.

## Configuration

Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). An explanaition of the default parameters is included below, but please see [the Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/get-started/overview/) for additional information.

**Warning, the use of `config.txt` is now deprecated. Please make sure to pass the correct environmental variables to your container at runtime.** 
<strike>If any environmental parameter is not passed to the container, its value will be taken from the `/config/config.txt` file.</strike> 

| Parameter | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `-p <port>:3333` | Will map the container's port 3333 to a port on the host, default is 3333. See the [Docker docs](https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/container-networking/) for more information about port mapping |
| `-e NODE_ENV=development` | for specifying Node environment, production or development, default is development **currently this should not be changed**.

## NGINX config block
To access Ferdi-server from outside of your home network on a subdomain use this server block:

```
# Ferdi-server
server {
        listen 443 ssl http2;
        server_name ferdi.my.website;

       	# all ssl related config moved to ssl.conf
        include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;

        location / {
             proxy_pass              http://<Ferdi-IP>:3333;
             proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP            $remote_addr;
             proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For	  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
             proxy_set_header        Host                 $host;
             proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-Proto    $scheme;
        }
}
```

## Importing your Franz account
Ferdi-server allows you to import your full Franz account, including all its settings.

To import your Franz account, open `http://[YOUR FERDI-SERVER]/import` in your browser and login using your Franz account details. Ferdi-server will create a new user with the same credentials and copy your Franz settings, services and workspaces.

## Transferring user data
Please refer to <https://github.com/getferdi/ferdi/wiki/Transferring-data-between-servers>

## Creating and using custom recipes
Ferdi-server allows to extends the Franz recipe catalogue with custom Ferdi recipes.

For documentation on how to create a recipe, please visit [the official guide by Franz](https://github.com/meetfranz/plugins/blob/master/docs/integration.md).

To add your recipe to Ferdi-server, open `http://[YOUR FERDI-SERVER]/new` in your browser. You can now define the following settings:
- `Author`: Author who created the recipe
- `Name`: Name for your new service. Can contain spaces and unicode characters
- `Service ID`: Unique ID for this recipe. Does not contain spaces or special characters (e.g. `google-drive`)
- `Link to PNG/SVG image`: Direct link to a 1024x1024 PNG image and SVG that is used as a logo inside the store. Please use jsDelivr when using a file uploaded to GitHub as raw.githubusercontent files won't load
- `Recipe files`: Recipe files that you created using the [Franz recipe creation guide](https://github.com/meetfranz/plugins/blob/master/docs/integration.md). Please do *not* package your files beforehand - upload the raw files (you can drag and drop multiple files). Ferdi-server will automatically package and store the recipe in the right format. Please also do not drag and drop or select the whole folder, select the individual files.

### Listing custom recipes
Inside Ferdi, searching for `ferdi:custom` will list all your custom recipes.

## Support Info

* Shell access while the container is running: `docker exec -it ferdi-server /bin/bash`
* To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: `docker logs -f ferdi-server`

## Updating Info

Below are the instructions for updating the container to get the most recent version of Ferdi-server:

### Via Docker Run/Create
* Update the image: `docker pull getferdi/ferdi-server`
* Stop the running container: `docker stop ferdi-server`
* Delete the container: `docker rm ferdi-server`
* Recreate a new container with the same docker create parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your `/config` folder and ENV settings will be preserved)
* Start the new container: `docker start ferdi-server`
* You can also remove the old dangling images: `docker image prune`

### Via Docker Compose
* Update all images: `docker-compose pull`
  * or update a single image: `docker-compose pull ferdi-server`
* Let compose update all containers as necessary: `docker-compose up -d`
  * or update a single container: `docker-compose up -d ferdi-server`
* You can also remove the old dangling images: `docker image prune`
