Default admin account

login : admin

password : docker

You should modify this default password with page /ConfigAccounts_p.html when exposing publicly your YaCy container.

Usage

First start

Most basic

docker run luccioman/yacy

YaCy web interface is then exposed at http://[container_ip]:8090. You can retrieve the container IP address with docker inspect.

Easier to handle

docker run --name yacy -p 8090:8090 --log-opt max-size=100m --log-opt max-file=2 luccioman/yacy

Options detail

• --name : allow easier management of your container (without it, docker automatically generate a new name at each startup).
• -p : map host port and container port, allowing web interface access through the usual http://localhost:8090.
• --log-opt max-size : limit maximum docker log file size for this container
• --log-opt max-file : limit number of docker rotated log files for this container

Note : if you do not specify the log related options, when running a YaCy container 24hour a day with default log level, your Docker container log file will grow up to some giga bytes in a few days!

Handle persistent data volume

As configured in the Dockerfile, by default yacy data (in /opt/yacy_search_server/DATA) will persist after container stop or deletion, in a volume with an automatically generated id.

But you may map a host directory to hold yacy data in container :

docker run -v [/your_host/data/directory]:/opt/yacy_search_server/DATA luccioman/yacy

Or just use a volume label to help identify it later

docker run -v yacy_volume:/opt/yacy_search_server/DATA luccioman/yacy

Note that you can list all docker volumes with :

docker volume ls

As background process

docker run -d luccioman/yacy

Next starts

As attached process

docker start -a yacy

As background process

docker start yacy

Shutdown

• Use "Shutdown" button in administration web interface

• OR run :

  docker exec [your_container_name] /opt/yacy_search_server/stopYACY.sh

Upgrade

You can upgrade your YaCy container the Docker way with the following commands sequence.

Get latest Docker image :

docker pull luccioman/yacy:latest

OR docker pull luccioman/yacy:latest-alpine

Create new container based on pulled image, using volume data from old container :

docker create --name [tmp-container_name] -p 8090:8090 --volumes-from=[container_name] luccioman/yacy:latest

Stop old container :

docker exec [container_name] /opt/yacy_search_server/stopYACY.sh

Start new container :

docker start [tmp-container_name]

Check everything works fine, then you can delete old container :

docker rm [container_name]

Rename new container to reuse same container name :

docker rename [tmp-container_name] [container_name]
