You need to have a running XMPP server first: as an other docker image, or running on the host machine. + +Assuming you have a running [prosody](https://hub.docker.com/r/prosody/prosody/) container already running and [properly configured](https://prosody.im/doc/components#adding_an_external_component) you can use the following command to start your biboumi container. + +``` +docker run --link prosody:xmpp \ + -v $PWD/database:/var/lib/biboumi \ + -e BIBOUMI_PASSWORD=P4SSW0RD \ + -e BIBOUMI_HOSTNAME=irc.example.com \ + -e BIBOUMI_ADMIN=blabla \ + biboumi +``` + +If instead you already have an XMPP server running on the host machine, you can start the biboumi container like this: + +``` +docker run --network=host \ + -v $PWD/database:/var/lib/biboumi \ + -e BIBOUMI_PASSWORD=P4SSW0RD \ + -e BIBOUMI_HOSTNAME=irc.example.com \ + -e BIBOUMI_ADMIN=blabla \ + -e BIBOUMI_XMPP_SERVER_IP=127.0.0.1 \ + biboumi +``` + +Variables +--------- + +The configuration file inside the image is a template that is completed when the container is started, using the following environment variables: + +* BIBOUMI_HOSTNAME: Sets the value of the *hostname* option. +* BIBOUMI_SECRET: Sets the value of the *password* option. +* BIBOUMI_ADMIN: Sets the value of the *admin* option. +* BIBOUMI_XMPP_SERVER_IP: Sets the value of the *xmpp_server_ip* option. The default is **xmpp**. + +All these variables are optional, but biboumi will probably fail to start if the hostname and secret are missing. + +You can also directly provide your own configuration file by mounting it inside the container using the -v option: + +``` +docker run --link prosody:xmpp \ + -v $PWD/biboumi.cfg:/etc/biboumi/biboumi.cfg \ + biboumi +``` + +Linking with the XMPP server +---------------------------- + +You can use the --link option to connect to any server running in a docker container, but it needs to be called *xmpp*, or the custom value set for the **BIBOUMI_XMPP_SERVER_IP** option. For example, if you are using a container named ejabberd, you would use the option *--link ejabberd:xmpp*. + +If you want to connect to the XMPP server running on the host machine, use the **--network=host** option. + +Volumes +------- + +The database is stored in the /var/lib/biboumi/ directory. If you don’t bind a local directory to it, the database will be lost when the container is stopped. If you want to keep your database between each run, bind it with the -v option, like this: **-v /srv/biboumi/:/var/lib/biboumi**. |
