Read-Only Site

PineDocs is read-only, meaning you can only view files and not edit them via PineDocs. This is not a wiki replacement with user login, revisions etc. This is basically a simple site that renders everything in your content dir. So you need to edit the files on your server/PC in order to change the content.

Setup

Docker

Docker is the easiest way to setup PineDocs.

Docker-compose.yml

version: '3'

services:
  web:
    image: xy2z/pinedocs:1.2.3
    ports:
      - 3000:80
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data/pinedocs

After running docker-compose up -d you can change the config in ./data/config/config.yaml, and add your files (or git clone your repository) in the ./data/files dir.

Changes will take affect when you reload the page - no need to restart the container.

Docker

Altough docker-compose is recommended, you can also use pure Docker:

docker run -itd -v "$PWD"/data:/data/pinedocs -p 3000:80 xy2z/pinedocs
