For development with Phraseanet API see https://docs.phraseanet.com/4.1/en/Devel/index.html

Installation and Quick Launch:

You can download a packaged version here:

https://www.phraseanet.com/en/download/

You can also git clone this repository for dev and/or test.

In each case, Phraseanet includes Dockerfile for building images and Docker-compose deployment.

See below for more information about Prerequisites and how to personalize the stack deployed.

But in fact if you have Docker Prerequisites, Phraseanet can be deployed and installed with these 2 simple commands.

In a terminal from the Phraseanet repositorie launch

docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d 

After installation processus, The default parameters allow you to reach the app on : http://localhost:8082
Default see phraseanet credential define in .env file.

PHRASEANET_ADMIN_ACCOUNT_EMAIL

PHRASEANET_ADMIN_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD

Note : This install will be made with default password for all services.
Except for a test, This is VERY important to customise .env file and define your own password.

For installation on your own mono-tenant or multi-tenant infrastructure (mysql, elasticsearch, redis, etc) stack,
follow the install steps described at

https://docs.phraseanet.com/4.1/en/Admin/Install.html

We do not recommend using this method anymore.

Phraseanet with Docker:

Prerequisites

• docker-compose >=v1.27.4
• docker >=v19.03.13

Note about elasticsearch container, check this link

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html#docker-prod-prerequisites

What is docker? Read this:

https://www.docker.com/get-started

Host requirement:

Linux : https://hub.docker.com/search?q=&type=edition&offering=community&operating_system=linux

Macintosh : https://hub.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-mac

Windows : https://hub.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-windows

Note: All our images are Linux based, so with Macintosh and Windows hosts, the containers run in vm provided by Docker.
For optimal performances, prefer a Linux host.

Stack description and customization

We provide a Dockerfile docker-compose deployment

Use COMPOSE_FILE env variables for composing this deployment.

By default COMPOSE_FILE is set for deploying a test stack including containers.

phraseanet_db_1                 
phraseanet_elasticsearch_1                                                              
phraseanet_gateway_1                                                            
phraseanet_mailhog_1                                  
phraseanet_phraseanet_1                                                                       
phraseanet_rabbitmq_1
phraseanet_redis_1                                                                                    
phraseanet_worker_1 

At first launch of the stack, Phraseanet container plays install.
it will restart until it can do this installation: waiting for readiness of all other containers

You should review the default env variables defined in .env file.
Use export method to override these values.

i.e:

export PHRASEANET_DOCKER_TAG=latest
export INSTALL_ACCOUNT_EMAIL=foo@bar.com
export INSTALL_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD=$3cr3t!
export PHRASEANET_APP_PORT=8082

If you are not interested in the development of Phraseanet, you can ignore everything in .env after the DEV Purpose part.

Using a env.local method for custom .env values

It may be easier to deal with a local file to manage our env variables.

You can add your env.local at the root of this project and define a command function in your ~/.bashrc:

# ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
function dc() {
    if [ -f env.local ]; then
        env $(cat env.local | grep -v '#' | tr '\n' ' ') docker-compose $@
    else
        docker-compose $@
    fi
}

Phraseanet Docker Images

You have two choices

Use the prebuild image from dockerhub, see DockerHub section bellow for more information.

set env var
PHRASEANET_DOCKER_REGISTRY

i.e:

# Registry from where you pull Docker images
PHRASEANET_DOCKER_REGISTRY=alchemyfr

and launch

docker-compose pull

Pulling images from Docker Hub takes ~ 3 minutes, depending on your bandwith

Build local images

launch

docker-compose build

The first build takes ~ 30 minutes on host without any Docker building cache, depending on your bandwith and the host capacity.

Running the application

docker-compose up -d

The default parameters allow you to reach the app with : http://localhost:8082

Phraseanet images from Docker Hub

Retrieve on Docker Hub prebuilt images for Phraseanet.

Tag organization on Docker Hub

latest : latest stable version

4.1.2 : Phraseanet version 4.1.2

4.1.1 : Phraseanet version 4.1.1

Etc

nightly : Development version, the latest version with successful automated tests. Built and published every night

Development mode

The development mode uses the docker-compose-override.yml file, so you need to set COMPOSE_FILE env

COMPOSE_FILE=docker-compose.yml:docker-compose.db.yml:docker-compose.mailhog.yml:docker-compose.override.yml

You can run it with:

docker-compose up -d

The environment is not ready yet: you have to fetch all dependencies.

This can be made easily from the builder container:

docker-compose run --rm -u app builder make install install_composer_dev

Please note that the phraseanet image does not contain nor composer neither node tools. This allows the final image to be light.
If you need to use dev tools, ensure you are running the builder image!

Developer shell

You can also obtain a shell access in builder container:

docker-compose run --rm builder /bin/bash
# or
docker-compose run --rm builder /bin/zsh

In this container you will have the same libraries (PHP, Node, composer, ...) that are used to build images.
Also you have utils for development like telnet, ping, ssh, git, ...
Your $HOME/.ssh directory is also mounted to builder's home with your ssh agent.

Using Xdebug

Xdebug is enabled by default with the docker-compose.override.yml
You can disable it by setting:

export XDEBUG_ENABLED=0

Remote host is fixed because of the subnet network from compose.

You need to configure file mapping in your IDE.
For PhpStorm, you can follow this example:

Configure the Absolute path on the server to /var/alchemy/Phraseanet at the project root path (i.e. ~/projects/Phraseanet).

Xdebug on MacOS

You have to set the following env:

XDEBUG_REMOTE_HOST=host.docker.internal

Don't forget to recreate your container (docker-compose up -d phraseanet)

Build images with plugins

Plugins can be installed during build if you set the PHRASEANET_PLUGINS env var as follows:

PHRASEANET_PLUGINS="https://github.com/alchemy-fr/Phraseanet-plugin-expose.git"

# You can optionally precise the branch to install
# If not precised, the main branch will be pulled
PHRASEANET_PLUGINS="git@github.com:alchemy-fr/Phraseanet-plugin-webgallery.git(custom-branch)"

# Plugins are separated by semicolons
PHRASEANET_PLUGINS="git@github.com:foo/bar.git(branch-1);git@github.com:baz/42.git"

Prefer the HTTPS URL for public repositories, you will not be required to provide your SSH key.

If you install private plugins, make sure you export your SSH private key content in order to allow docker build to access the GIT repository:
Also ensure you're using the SSH URL form (i.e: git@github.com:alchemy-fr/repo.git).

export PHRASEANET_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY=$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa)
# or if your private key is protected by a passphrase:
export PHRASEANET_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY=$(openssl rsa -in ~/.ssh/id_rsa -out /tmp/id_rsa_raw && cat /tmp/id_rsa_raw && rm /tmp/id_rsa_raw)

Running workers

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml run --rm worker <command>

Where <command> can be:

• bin/console worker:execute -m 2 (default)
• bin/console task-manager:scheduler:run
• ...

Try Phraseanet with Pre installed VM (deprecated)

You can also download a testing pre installed Virtual Machine in OVA format here :

https://www.phraseanet.com/download/

With Vagrant (deprecated)

Development :

For development purpose Phraseanet is shipped with ready to use development environments using vagrant.
You can easily choose betweeen a complete build or a prebuild box, with a specific PHP version.

git clone
vagrant up --provision

then, a prompt allow you to choose PHP version, and another one to choose a complete build or an Alchemy prebuilt boxes.

Ex:

• vagrant up --provision //// 5.6 ///// 1 >> Build an ubuntu/xenial box with php5.6
• vagrant up --provision //// 7.0 ///// 1 >> Build an ubuntu/xenial with php7.0
• vagrant up --provision //// 7.2 ///// 2 >> Build the alchemy/phraseanet-php-7.2 box
• vagrant up --provision //// 5.6 ///// 1 >> Build the alchemy/phraseanet-php-5.6 box
