Docker images

These are Docker images for Dendrite!

They can be found on Docker Hub:

matrixdotorg/dendrite-monolith for monolith deployments
matrixdotorg/dendrite-polylith for polylith deployments

Dockerfiles

The Dockerfile builds the base image which contains all of the Dendrite components. The Dockerfile.component file takes the given component, as specified with --buildarg component= from the base image and produce smaller component-specific images, which are substantially smaller and do not contain the Go toolchain etc.

Compose files

There are three sample docker-compose files:

docker-compose.monolith.yml which runs a monolith Dendrite deployment
docker-compose.polylith.yml which runs a polylith Dendrite deployment

Configuration

The docker-compose files refer to the /etc/dendrite volume as where the runtime config should come from. The mounted folder must contain:

dendrite.yaml configuration file (based on one of the sample config files)
matrix_key.pem server key, as generated using cmd/generate-keys
server.crt certificate file
server.key private key file for the above certificate

To generate keys:

docker run --rm --entrypoint="" \
  -v $(pwd):/mnt \
  matrixdotorg/dendrite-monolith:latest \
  /usr/bin/generate-keys \
  -private-key /mnt/matrix_key.pem \
  -tls-cert /mnt/server.crt \
  -tls-key /mnt/server.key

The key files will now exist in your current working directory, and can be mounted into place.

Starting Dendrite as a monolith deployment

Create your config based on the dendrite-sample.monolith.yaml sample configuration file.

Then start the deployment:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.monolith.yml up

Starting Dendrite as a polylith deployment

Create your config based on the dendrite-sample.polylith.yaml sample configuration file.

Then start the deployment:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.polylith.yml up

Building the images

The build/docker/images-build.sh script will build the base image, followed by all of the component images.

The build/docker/images-push.sh script will push them to Docker Hub (subject to permissions).

If you wish to build and push your own images, rename matrixdotorg/dendrite to the name of another Docker Hub repository in images-build.sh and images-push.sh.
