Running Kutt in Docker

Assumptions: The domain in this example is kutt.local. This needs to be configured in your hosts file for this example to work as written. You should, of course, modify this domain to suit your needs.

Configure Kutt

server/config.js

module.exports = {

	PORT: process.env.KUTT_PORT, # Or whatever you want to name the env var
    
    /* The domain that this website is on */
    DEFAULT_DOMAIN: process.env.KUTT_DOMAIN, # Or whatever..
    
    ...
    
}

No docker-relevant modifications are necessary for client/config.js. However, you will still need to configure this as part of the standard kutt setup.

Neo4j in a container

You can run neo4j in a container and link it to the kutt container in Docker.

Properly installing and running neo4j is outside of the scope of this document. But here's a simple one-liner to get neo4j running on docker for dev/test:

docker run \
    --publish=7474:7474 --publish=7687:7687 \
    --name neo4j \
    neo4j

This is not a production-ready setup. There is no data persistence, nor proper security. Use for test/dev only.

Then, configure Kutt: server/config.js

...
/* Neo4j database credential details */
DB_URI: 'bolt://neo4j',
DB_USERNAME: 'neo4j', # Or pass this in via env var as before 
DB_PASSWORD: 'neo4j', # Or via env var..
...

Once you have neo4j running in a container, you'll link your Kutt container to it. This will be documented below.

Build Kutt Image

First you'll need to build Kutt. From the root directory of Kutt, execute the following: docker build -t kutt .

Run Kutt

Once you've built the image, then all that is left to do is run Kutt.

docker run -d -p80:3000 -e KUTT_PORT=3000 -e KUTT_DOMAIN=kutt.local --link=neo4j kutt
