README.md

Pixelfed Docker Server Role

This README details the steps to manage your Pixelfed instance running in a Docker container. This setup is part of the docker-pixelfed role within Kevin Veen-Birkenbach's cymais located at this GitHub repository.

Accessing Services

Application Access

To gain shell access to the application container, run the following command:

docker-compose exec -it application bash

Clear Cache

docker compose exec -it application php artisan cache:clear

Database Access

To access the MariaDB instance in the database container, run the following command:

docker-compose exec -it database mariadb -u pixelfed -p

User Management via CLI in Pixelfed Docker Setup

To manage users in your Pixelfed instance running in a Docker container, as configured in Kevin Veen-Birkenbach's docker-pixelfed role, you can follow these steps via the Command Line Interface (CLI):

Access the Application Container: First, gain shell access to the Pixelfed application container. Use the command provided in the README:
```
docker-compose exec -it application bash
```
This command lets you access the bash shell inside the application Docker container where Pixelfed is running.
Navigate to Pixelfed Directory: Once inside the container, navigate to the Pixelfed directory. This is typically the root directory where Pixelfed is installed.
Use Artisan Commands: Pixelfed is built on Laravel, so you'll use Laravel's Artisan CLI for user management. Here are some common tasks:
- Create a New User:
```
php artisan user:create
```
  This command will prompt you to enter the user's details like username, email, and password.
- List Users:
```
php artisan user:list
```
  This command displays a list of all users.
- Delete a User:
```
php artisan user:delete {username}
```
  Replace {username} with the actual username of the user you wish to delete.
- Reset Password:
```
php artisan user:reset-password {username}
```
  This will initiate a password reset process for the specified user.
Verify and Validate: Depending on your Pixelfed's configuration, especially if email verification is required, you might need to perform additional steps to verify new accounts or modify user details.
Exit the Container: After completing your user management tasks, exit the Docker container shell by typing exit.

Note:

Commands Variability: The available Artisan commands can vary based on your version of Pixelfed and Laravel. Always refer to the specific documentation for your version.
Permissions: Ensure you have the necessary permissions and rights within the Docker container to perform these actions.
Environment Specifics: The exact paths and commands may vary based on your Docker and Pixelfed setup, as defined in your docker-compose.yml and other configuration files.

This process provides a streamlined way to manage Pixelfed users directly from the CLI in a Dockerized environment, ensuring that you can efficiently administer your Pixelfed instance without needing to access the Pixelfed web interface.

Instagram Import Cleanup

If you have imported posts from Instagram, you can clean up the imported data and files as follows:

Database Cleanup

Run these commands inside your MariaDB shell to remove import related data:

DELETE from import_posts WHERE 1;
DELETE from import_jobs WHERE 1;
DELETE from import_datas WHERE 1;
DELETE from statuses where created_at < "2022-12-01 22:15:39";
DELETE from media where deleted_at >= "2023-07-28 14:39:05";

File System Cleanup

Run these commands to remove the imported files and trigger the cleanup job:

docker-compose exec -u "www-data" application rm -rv "/var/www/storage/app/imports/1"
docker-compose exec -u "www-data" application php artisan schedule:run

Full Cleanup (Reset)

For a hard reset, which will delete all data and stop all services, use the following commands:

docker-compose down
docker volume rm pixelfed_application_data pixelfed_database pixelfed_redis

Update Procedure

To update your Pixelfed instance, navigate to the directory where your docker-compose.yml file is located and run these commands:

cd {{path_docker_compose_instances}}pixelfed/ &&
docker-compose down &&
docker network prune -f &&
docker-compose pull &&
docker-compose build &&
docker-compose -p pixelfed up -d --force-recreate

Inspecting the Services

To see the status of all services or follow the logs, use these commands:

docker-compose ps -a
docker-compose logs -f

Debug

To debug the system set APP_DEBUG to true, like descriped here.

nano config/app.php
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan route:cache
php artisan view:clear
php artisan config:cache

Modifying files

apt update && apt upgrade && apt install nano
