# Docker Setup for Podcastrr
This document explains how to run Podcastrr using Docker and Docker Compose.
## Prerequisites
- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
- [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
## Quick Start
1. Clone the repository:
```
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/podcastrr.git
cd podcastrr
```
2. Start the application using Docker Compose:
```
docker-compose up -d
```
3. Access the application at http://localhost:5000
## Configuration
The application is configured using environment variables in the `docker-compose.yml` file. You can modify these variables to customize the application:
- `FLASK_ENV`: Set to `development` for development mode or `production` for production mode
- `SECRET_KEY`: A secret key for securing the Flask application (change this to a secure random string)
- `DATABASE_URI`: The URI for the SQLite database
- `DOWNLOAD_PATH`: The path where podcast episodes will be downloaded
- `LOG_LEVEL`: The logging level (INFO, DEBUG, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL)
## Persistent Data
The Docker Compose configuration creates two volumes for persistent data:
1. `./downloads:/app/downloads`: Stores downloaded podcast episodes
2. `./instance:/app/instance`: Stores the SQLite database
These directories will be created in your project folder and will persist data between container restarts.
## Building the Docker Image
If you've made changes to the application code and want to rebuild the Docker image:
```
docker-compose build
```
## Stopping the Application
To stop the application:
```
docker-compose down
```
## Viewing Logs
To view the application logs:
```
docker-compose logs -f
```
## Troubleshooting
### Database Issues
If you encounter database issues, you can try:
1. Stopping the application:
```
docker-compose down
```
2. Removing the instance directory:
```
rm -rf instance
```
3. Starting the application again:
```
docker-compose up -d
```
This will recreate the database from scratch.
### Permission Issues
If you encounter permission issues with the downloads or instance directories, ensure that they are writable by the Docker container:
```
chmod -R 777 downloads instance
```
Note: This is not recommended for production environments. Instead, configure proper user permissions.
