Docker Deployment

HabitTrove can be run using Docker in several ways, depending on your needs:

Using Pre-built Images

The easiest way to run HabitTrove is using our pre-built Docker images from DockerHub:

First, prepare the data directory with correct permissions:

mkdir -p data
chown -R 1001:1001 data  # Required for the nextjs user in container

Then run using either method:

# Using docker-compose (recommended)
docker compose up -d

# Or using docker run directly
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -v ./data:/app/data dohsimpson/habittrove

Available image tags:

latest: Stable release version, recommended for most users
vX.Y.Z (e.g., v0.1.4): Specific version for reproducible deployments and rollbacks
dev: Latest development build from the main branch, may contain unstable features

Choose your tag based on needs:

Use latest for general production use
Use version tags (e.g., v0.1.4) for reproducible deployments
Use dev for testing new features

Building Locally

If you want to build the image locally (useful for development):

# Build the Docker image
npm run docker-build

# Run the container
npm run docker-run

The application data will be persisted in the data directory in both cases.
