👑 Features

Built-in Chrome for PDF generation and other features
Saxon XLST 2 engine

Get started with Docker Compose

This Debian-based image includes Chrome for enhanced PDF generation and other features. To get started:

git clone https://github.com/invoiceninja/dockerfiles.git -b debian
cd dockerfiles/debian

Instead of defining our environment variables inside our docker-compose.yml file we now define this in the .env file, open this file up and insert your APP_URL, APP_KEY and update the rest of the variables as required.

APP_URL=http://in.localhost:8003/
APP_KEY=<insert your generated key in here>
APP_DEBUG=true
REQUIRE_HTTPS=false
IN_USER_EMAIL=
IN_PASSWORD=

Initial account setup

Primary account setup

Prior to starting the container for the first time, open the .env file and update the IN_USER_EMAIL and IN_PASSWORD variables with your primary account.

This will take care of the initial account setup. You can later remove these .env variables.

⚠️ Warning
If IN_USER_EMAIL and IN_PASSWORD are not set the default user email and password is "admin@example.com" and "changeme!" respectively.

After the container has completed the first startup you can delete these two environment variables.

Generate a APP_KEY

The APP_KEY can be generated by running:

# If you haven't started the containers yet:
docker run --rm -it invoiceninja/invoiceninja-debian php artisan key:generate --show

# Or if your containers are already running:
docker-compose exec app php artisan key:generate --show

Copy the entire string and insert in the .env file at APP_KEY=base64....

**Note: For PDF generation using localhost, your domain name MUST end in .test for PDFs to generate correctly due to Chrome's DNS resolver.

Start the container with:

docker-compose up -d

**Note: When performing the setup, the Database host is mysql

Updating the Image

To upgrade to a newer release image, update your docker-compose.yml first by running:

docker-compose down
docker-compose pull
docker-compose up

It is recommended to perform a backup before updating.
