Symcon

An Symcon installation running on Docker

Description: http://www.symcon.de

Docker Sources: https://github.com/Tommi2Day/ipsymcon-docker

Build

You need to handover the apt repository branch of symcon ("stable", "beta" or "testing") to the dockerfile as build argument VERSION

rel=${1:-testing}
git clone https://github.com/Tommi2Day/ipsymcon-docker.git
cd ipsymcon-docker
docker build --build-arg VERSION=$rel -t tommi2day/symcon:$rel .

Volumes

• /var/lib/symcon
• /var/log/symcon
• /root

exposed Ports

• 3777
• 82

Run on Unix

rel=${1:-testing}
docker run -d\
  -v "./work":/var/lib/symcon \
  -v "./log":/var/log/symcon \
  -v "./root":/root \
  --hostname symcon \
  --name symcon \
  -p 3777:3777 \
  tommi2day/symcon:$rel

Run on Windows

As of writing, you cannot share /var/log/symcon on windows because symcon tries to create a symlink and failed there. To remedy this issue you may create a docker data container

rel=${1:-testing}
docker create  \
  -v /var/log/symcon \
  -v /var/lib/symcon \
  -v /root \
  --name symcon_data_$rel \
  tommi2day/symcon:$rel /bin/true
	
docker run -d \
  --volumes-from symcon_data_$rel \
  --hostname symcon \
  --name symcon \
  -p 3777:3777 \
  tommi2day/symcon:testing

Maintenance

You have access to the container using standard docker commands.

• change remote access password

  docker exec -it symcon set_password.sh
  

  then restart the container

• show logfiles

  docker exec -it symcon cat /var/log/logfile.log
