This guide assumes you have Docker with docker-compose installed on a server:

apt-get install -y docker-compose

Create a text file named docker-compose.yml:

vim docker-compose.yml

and paste the following inside:

version: '2'

services:
  db:
    image: mariadb:10.1
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: your_mysql_root_password
      MYSQL_USER: your_filerun_username
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: your_filerun_password
      MYSQL_DATABASE: your_filerun_database
    volumes:
      - /filerun/db:/var/lib/mysql

  web:
    image: filerun/filerun:8.1
    environment:
      FR_DB_HOST: db
      FR_DB_PORT: 3306
      FR_DB_NAME: your_filerun_database
      FR_DB_USER: your_filerun_username
      FR_DB_PASS: your_filerun_password
      APACHE_RUN_USER: www-data
      APACHE_RUN_USER_ID: 33
      APACHE_RUN_GROUP: www-data
      APACHE_RUN_GROUP_ID: 33
    depends_on:
      - db
    links:
      - db:db
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    volumes:
      - /filerun/html:/var/www/html
      - /filerun/user-files:/user-files

Please note the above volumes configuration. There are two folders you need to configure. One for the FileRun application files. It can be located in any empty folder and must have the mount path set to /var/www/html and one for the FileRun user files, with the mount path set to /user-files. In other words, if you use the above configuration text as it is, you just need to create two empty folders, /filerun/html and /filerun/user-files and you can starting the FileRun Docker container up:

mkdir /filerun /filerun/html /filerun/user-files /filerun/db

And start FileRun up using the following command:

docker-compose up -d

The web server is should be now running.

Time to download the latest FileRun version from your client account: https://filerun.com/client-area/client-area-orders

Extract the zip archive inside the /filerun/html folder.

FileRun is now ready and you can access it with your browser.

Please see this guide.

If your desktop sync app redownload everything every time your server restarts, please see the option

$config['system']['webdav']['skip_device_id_for_etag'] = true;
