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:

1. First, prepare the data directory with correct permissions:

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

2. 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.
