Using Docker

Tachyon Docker is a docker image that runs the app in a container.

Installation

You'll need a server with docker engine installed. Vagrant has a convenience provider built in, and you can also install the Docker command line tools for OSX, Windows or Linux.

You can pull the image from hub.docker.com using the following:

docker pull humanmade/tachyon

Or if you prefer to build locally from a clone of the Github repository use the following from the same folder as the Dockerfile:

docker build -t humanmade/tachyon

Usage

To run Tachyon as a service simply run the container passing a few environment variables to it. We recommend passing the -d flag to daemonize the container and keep it running.

docker run -d \
  --name tachyon \
  -e AWS_REGION=<region> \
  -e AWS_S3_BUCKET=<bucket> \
  humanmade/tachyon

By default the service will expose port 8080. You can change this by passing the -p flag to docker run and map it to another port.

Custom S3 endpoint

You can specify a custom S3 endpoint if you're running a tool like fakeS3 by passing the AWS_S3_ENDPOINT environment variable to docker run.

Vagrant

Tachyon Docker comes with a Vagrantfile you can use to spin up a fakeS3 server and Tachyon server locally.

First install the vagrant hosts updater plugin if you don't have it:

vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostsupdater

From a clone of the Github repository run vagrant up. Once the machine is provisioned you'll have the following servers running:

http://s3.srv         # fakeS3 server
http://tchyn.srv      # Tachyon server

You can configure the URLs and endpoints as well as add additional Tachyon servers by editing the config.yml file in the cloned repository.

Configuring WordPress

To configure WordPress to use the VM add the following to wp-config.php once you've installed S3 Uploads.

<?php
define( 'S3_UPLOADS_BUCKET_URL', 'http://s3.srv/local' );
define( 'S3_UPLOADS_BUCKET', 'local' );

// These can be any non falsy value
define( 'S3_UPLOADS_KEY', 'missing' );
define( 'S3_UPLOADS_SECRET', 'missing' );
define( 'S3_UPLOADS_REGION', 'eu-west-1' );

And add a small script to your mu-plugins folder:

<?php
add_filter( 's3_uploads_s3_client_params', function( $params ) {
    $params['endpoint'] = 'http://s3.srv/';
    $params['path_style'] = true;
    //$params['debug'] = true; // Useful if things aren't working to double check IPs etc
    return $params;
} );

You can then install the Tachyon plugin and configure it:

<?php
// Tachyon URL
define( 'TACHYON_URL', 'http://tchyn.srv/uploads' );
