# Official Docker images
Castopod pushes 3 Docker images to the Docker Hub during its automated build
process:
- [**`castopod/app`**](https://hub.docker.com/r/castopod/app): the app bundle
with all of Castopod dependencies
- [**`castopod/web-server`**](https://hub.docker.com/r/castopod/web-server): an
Nginx configuration for Castopod
- [**`castopod/video-clipper`**](https://hub.docker.com/r/castopod/video-clipper):
an optional image building videoclips thanks to ffmpeg
Additionally, Castopod requires a MySQL-compatible database. A Redis database
can be added as a cache handler.
## Supported tags
- `develop` [unstable], latest development branch build
- `beta` [stable], latest beta version build
- `1.0.0-beta.x` [stable], specific beta version build (since `1.0.0-beta.22`)
- `latest` [stable], latest version build
- `1.x.x` [stable], specific version build (since `1.0.0`)
## Example usage
1. Install [docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) and
[docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
2. Create a `docker-compose.yml` file with the following:
```yml
version: "3.7"
services:
app:
container_name: "castopod-app"
volumes:
- castopod-media:/opt/castopod/public/media
environment:
MYSQL_DATABASE: castopod
MYSQL_USER: castopod
MYSQL_PASSWORD: changeme
CP_BASEURL: "http://castopod.example.com"
CP_ANALYTICS_SALT: changeme
CP_CACHE_HANDLER: redis
CP_REDIS_HOST: redis
networks:
- castopod-app
- castopod-db
restart: unless-stopped
web-server:
container_name: "castopod-web-server"
volumes:
- castopod-media:/var/www/html/media
networks:
- castopod-app
ports:
- 8080:80
restart: unless-stopped
mariadb:
image: mariadb:10.5
container_name: "castopod-mariadb"
networks:
- castopod-db
volumes:
- castopod-db:/var/lib/mysql
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: changeme
MYSQL_DATABASE: castopod
MYSQL_USER: castopod
MYSQL_PASSWORD: changeme
restart: unless-stopped
redis:
image: redis:7.0-alpine
container_name: "castopod-redis"
volumes:
- castopod-cache:/data
networks:
- castopod-app
# this container is optional
# add this if you want to use the videoclips feature
image: castopod/video-clipper:latest
container_name: "castopod-video-clipper"
volumes:
- castopod-media:/opt/castopod/public/media
environment:
MYSQL_DATABASE: castopod
MYSQL_USER: castopod
MYSQL_PASSWORD: changeme
networks:
- castopod-db

You have to adapt some variables to your needs (e.g. `CP_BASEURL`,
`MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD`, `MYSQL_PASSWORD` and `CP_ANALYTICS_SALT`).
3. Setup a reverse proxy for TLS (SSL/HTTPS)
TLS is mandatory for ActivityPub to work. This job can easily be handled by
a reverse proxy, for example with [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/):
```
#castopod
castopod.example.com {
reverse_proxy localhost:8080
}
```
4. Run `docker-compose up -d`, wait for it to initialize and head on to
`https://castopod.example.com/cp-install` to finish setting up Castopod!
