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 Thank you for your quick response and for maintaining the gist for archival purposes. Your dedication to preserving resources is greatly appreciated. I'll continue working on resolving the user verification email issue and will share any solution I find in the comments, or a new gist as suggested.
