I haven't looked at Superdesk in close to two years now (I no longer work at Sourcefabric) and I have little to no recollection of how to set it up. I'm leaving this gist online mainly for archival reasons and because there's a lot of useful information in the comments that I don't want to disappear from the internet. I hope you get it up and running one way or another, and if you do, please pop your solution here/make a new gist and link it here for others!
- Install Docker
- Copy and paste
docker-compose.yml
in this gist into a blank folder (call it something likesuperdesk/
) - Open the folder in a terminal
- Run
docker-compose up
- Wait a few seconds...
- Navigate to
localhost:8080
You should see the Superdesk login screen! Now to initialise some data:
- Open a new terminal in the same folder
- Run
docker-compose run superdesk-server run python manage.py app:initialize_data
to populate Superdesk with some starting data. - Run
docker-compose run superdesk-server run python manage.py users:create -u admin -p admin -e admin@localhost --admin
to create an example administrator.
I've installed this on a Ubuntu 20.04 LTS VPS per the Docker instructions. IP:8080 gives me a blank page, though I do see the Superdesk logo in the tab.
I'm new to both Docker and Superdesk, so I am sure I am doing something wrong. Any ideas?
