# Docker
-TODO
+The Official GoToSocial docker images are provided through [docker hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial "docker hub gotosocial").
+
+GoToSocial can be configured using [Environment Variables](../configuration/index.md#environment-variables) if you wish, allowing your GoToSocial configuration to be embedded inside your docker container configuration.
+
+## Run with Docker Compose (recommended)
+This guide will lead you through the installation with [docker compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/ "Docker Compose Docs"), so you might want to follow the next Steps.
+
+### Create a Working Dir
+You need a Working Directory in which the data of the PostgreSQL and the GoToSocial container will be located, so create this directory for example with the following command.
+The directory can be located where you want it to be later.
+
+```shell
+mkdir -p /docker/gotosocial
+cd /docker/gotosocial
+```
+### Get the latest docker-compose.yaml and config.yaml
+You can get an example [docker-compose.yaml](../../example/docker-compose/docker-compose.yaml "Example docker-compose.yaml") and [config.yaml](../../example/config.yaml "Example config.yaml") here, which you can download with wget for example.
+
+```shell
+wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/main/example/docker-compose/docker-compose.yaml
+wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/main/example/config.yaml
+```
+
+### Edit the docker-compose.yaml
+You can modify the docker-compose.yaml to your needs, but in any case you should generate a Postgres password and bind it as environment variable into the postgreSQL container. For this we can write the password directly into the docker-compose.yaml like in the example or we create an [.env file](https://docs.docker.com/compose/environment-variables/#the-env-file "Docker Docs") that will load the environment variables into the container. You may also want to check the current [GoToSocial version](https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases) and adjust the image in docker-compose.yaml.
+
+```shell
+$EDITOR docker-compose.yaml
+```
+### Edit the config.yaml
+When we want to use the config.yaml, we should make the following changes to config.yaml.
+| Config Option | Value |
+| --------------- | ------ |
+| host | Hostname of your Inctanse e.g. gts.example.com |
+| account-domain | Domain to use when federating profiles e.g. gts.example.com |
+| trusted-proxies | We need to trust our host machine and the Docker Network e.g.
- "127.0.0.1/32"
- "10.0.0.0/8"
- "172.16.0.0/12"
- "192.168.0.0/16" |
+| db-address | gotosocial_postgres |
+| db-user | gotosocial |
+| db-password | same password as postgres environment $POSTGRES_PASSWORD |
+
+```shell
+$EDITOR config.yaml
+```
+### Start GoToSocial
+
+```shell
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+After running this command, you should get an output like:
+```shell
+❯ docker-compose up -d
+[+] Running 2/2
+ ⠿ Container docker1-gotosocial_postgres-1 Started
+ ⠿ Container docker1-gotosocial-1 Started
+```
+
+this names can be used to create your first user described below.
+
+### Create your first User
+
+Take the names from above command `docker-compose up -d` and replace $CONTAINER_NAME with the name e.g. `docker1-gotosocial-1`
+
+```shell
+# Creates a User
+docker exec -ti $CONTAINER_NAME /gotosocial/gotosocial --config-path /config/config.yaml admin account create --username $USERNAME --email $USEREMAIL --password $SuperSecurePassword
+# Confirms the User, so that the User can LogIn
+docker exec -ti $CONTAINER_NAME /gotosocial/gotosocial --config-path /config/config.yaml admin account confirm --username $USERNAME
+# Makes the User to an Admin
+docker exec -ti $CONTAINER_NAME/gotosocial/gotosocial --config-path /config/config.yaml admin account promote --username $USERNAME
+```
+
+#### Lost the Name of the Container
+If you forgot what the container name of your GoToSocial container was, you can figure it out with the command `docker ps -f NAME=gotosocial`.
+If you execute the command, you will get an output similar to the following:
+
+```shell
+CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
+e190f1e6335f superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:$VERSION "/gotosocial/gotosoc…" 12 minutes ago Up 12 minutes 127.0.0.1:8080->8080/tcp docker-compose-gotosocial-1
+5a2c56181ada postgres:14-alpine "docker-entrypoint.s…" 22 minutes ago Up 19 minutes 5432/tcp docker-compose-gotosocial_postgres-1
+```
+Now you take the container name from the container with image superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:$VERSION and build ourselves the following commands.
+
+## Run with Docker Run
+
+You can run GoToSocial direct with `docker run` command.
+
+
+ docker run with --env flag
+
+```shell
+docker run -e GTS_PORT='8080' -e GTS_PROTOCOL='https' -e GTS_TRUSTED_PROXIES='0.0.0.0/0' -e GTS_HOST='gotosocial.example.com' -e GTS_ACCOUNT_DOMAIN='gotosocial.example.com' -e GTS_DB_TYPE='sqlite' -e GTS_DB_ADDRESS='/gotosocial/database/sqlite.db' -e GTS_STORAGE_SERVE_PROTOCOL='https' -e GTS_STORAGE_SERVE_HOST='gotosocial.example.com' -e GTS_STORAGE_SERVE_BASE_PATH='/gotosocial/storage' -e GTS_LETSENCRYPT_ENABLED='false' -v $(pwd)/storage/:/gotosocial/storage/ -v $(pwd)/database/:/gotosocial/database/ -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:0.2.0
+```
+
+
+
+
+ docker run with .env-file
+
+```
+docker run --env-file ./.env -v $(pwd)/storage/:/gotosocial/storage/ -v $(pwd)/database/:/gotosocial/database/ -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:0.2.0
+```
+
+
+
+
+ Example .env File
+
+```shell
+$EDITOR .env
+```
+
+```
+GTS_PORT=8080
+GTS_PROTOCOL=https
+GTS_TRUSTED_PROXIES=127.0.0.1 # should be the host machine and the Docker Network e.g. "127.0.0.1/32", "10.0.0.0/8", "172.16.0.0/12", "192.168.0.0/16"
+GTS_HOST=gotosocial.example.com
+GTS_ACCOUNT_DOMAIN=gotosocial.example.com
+GTS_DB_TYPE=sqlite
+GTS_DB_ADDRESS=/gotosocial/database/sqlite.db
+GTS_STORAGE_SERVE_BASE_PATH=/gotosocial/storage
+GTS_LETSENCRYPT_ENABLED=false
+```
+
+
+## (optional) NGINX Config
+The following NGINX config is just an example of what this might look like. In this case we assume that a valid SSL certificate is present. For this you can get a valid certificate from [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org "Let's Encrypt Homepage") with the [cerbot](https://certbot.eff.org "Certbot's Homepage").
+
+```shell
+server {
