Running jsreport with Docker

Prerequisites

To run jsreport with Docker you will need:

The configuration file jsreport.config.json created in the previous section.
Access to Docker Hub to fetch the jsreport image.
docker-compose installed.

Preparation

Create a directory to host the jsreport instance.
Copy the jsreport.config.json file to this new directory.
Create a sub directory named data in the new directory.

Create a file named docker-compose.yml inside the new directory with the following contents:

services:
  jsreport:
    image: jsreport/jsreport:latest
    ports:
    - "5488:5488"
    volumes:
    - "./data:/app/data"
    - "./jsreport.config.json:/app/jsreport.config.json"

Execute docker-compose up

You should now be able to access jsreport directly by visiting http://localhost:5488/reporting.

Running jsreport on Kubernetes

To run jsreport in a Kubernetes pod you will need to:

Create a secret with the contents of the jsreport.config.json file and mount it at /app/jsreport.config.json.
Create a persistent volume to contain the jsreport data directory and mount it at /app/data.
