Is the Casdoor Docker deployment production-grade and how to run via docker-compose?

Hi Quick Question. Is the Casdoor Docker deployment production-grade? I'm confused by the mention of "Try" and "Optional". https://casdoor.org/docs/basic/try-with-docker. Thx!

Yes, it's prod level. That's only wording issue

Ok thanks! That's good news, cuz this really looks like it's going to be my replacement for Auth0 🙂

I am trying the Docker-Compose build, but having some issues with the instructions. (I am on Windows, with the latest Docker Desktop, using Git Shell).

The mentioned command (docker pull casbin/casdoor:$(curl -sS "https://hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/casbin/casdoor/tags/?page_size=1&page=2" | sed 's/,/,\n/g' | grep '"name"' |awk -F '"' '{print $4}')) does download the latest image and adds it to docker, but nothing else. I was expecting a docker-compose.yml starter/example file somewhere, but perhaps I should create it myself? I did find the conf/app.conf file (and set it up to use SQLite for now). I also did find a docker-compose.yml file in the Github repo, but it seems to depend on other files, I probably can get it to work, but I feel like I'm missing a step somewhere..?

see: https://casdoor.org/docs/basic/try-with-docker#option-2-try-with-docker-compose

Thanks. But, was already following those instructions.. 😉

use the docker run command

docker pull is not for you

aha got it.. Still, it seems to expect a MySQL database somewhere, given the error message:

panic: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:3306: connect: connection refused```

The app.conf

appname = casdoor
httpport = 8000
runmode = dev
copyrequestbody = true
driverName = sqlite
dataSourceName = "file:casdoor.db?cache=shared"
dbName = casdoor
tableNamePrefix =
showSql = false
redisEndpoint =
defaultStorageProvider =
isCloudIntranet = false
authState = "casdoor"
socks5Proxy = "127.0.0.1:10808"
verificationCodeTimeout = 10
initScore = 0
logPostOnly = true
origin =
originFrontend =
staticBaseUrl = "https://cdn.casbin.org"
isDemoMode = false
batchSize = 100
enableGzip = true
ldapServerPort = 389
radiusServerPort = 1812
radiusSecret = "secret"
quota = {"organization": -1, "user": -1, "application": -1, "provider": -1}
logConfig = {"filename": "logs/casdoor.log", "maxdays":99999, "perm":"0770"}
initDataFile = "./init_data.json"
frontendBaseDir = "../casdoor"

this is your own config issue

just trying to get an empty bog standard Docker instance of Casdoor running, that shouldn't be too hard right? Just the defaults..

use the all-in-one version, it's much easier

one command only

cool, that works 👍 still need to get it working via docker-compose; do I understand correctly that the docker-compose.yml in the Github repo is NOT a good starting point, I guess it's for developers of Casdoor? I'm happy to start from scratch, but if there's already a working starting point, that's always easier.

yes, beginners use "docker run"

fwiw... got it running with Postgresql + docker-compose.yml:

version: "3"
services:
  casdoor:
    image: casbin/casdoor
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"
    environment:
      RUNNING_IN_DOCKER: "true"
    depends_on:
      - db
    volumes:
      - ./conf:/conf/
  db:
    image: postgres:14-bookworm
    restart: always
    environment:
      POSTGRES_DB: casdoor
      POSTGRES_USER: MYUSER
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ***
    ports:
      - "5433:5432"
    volumes: 
      - db:/var/lib/postgresql/data
volumes:
  db:
    driver: local``` (why not add something like this to the docs?)
