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.
@nickdbush do you have a lot of (non-supported) installs in the wild? I have a class full of journalism students that I would love to roll this out out for soon. We don't need enterprise-grade support, by any means, but something reasonably stable (and free, given our basically non-existent budget) would be a great tool for the students to learn how to use.
