FAF in Docker container

Easiest way how to run FAF

How to deploy

Prerequisites: A postgres database with semver extension is needed. Using abrt/postgres-semver image is recommended. docker run -p 5432:5432 -v /var/tmp/data:/var/lib/pgsql/data -e POSTGRESQL_ADMIN_PASSWORD=scrt --name db -dit postgres-semver

Running FAF is as simple as:

docker run --name faf -dit -e PGHOST=$(DB_IP) -e PGUSER=faf -e PGPASSWORD=scrt -e PGPORT=5432 -e PGDATABASE=faf -p 8080:8080 faf-image

However you also probably want to mount volumes to /var/spool/faf not to lose FAF's data.

docker run --name faf -dit -v /var/lib/faf-docker/faf:/var/spool/faf -e PGHOST=$(DB_IP) -e PGUSER=faf -e PGPASSWORD=scrt -e PGPORT=5432 -e PGDATABASE=faf -p 8080:8080 faf-image

Then FAF is ready for use.

What's next

You can see incoming reports in webUI. It is accessible on http://<container_IP>:8080/faf.

Finding out container IP address:

docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' faf

Also to send reports into your own FAF, you have to set up libreport on all machines, from with you wish to report into your own FAF. To do so, set up URL = http://<container_IP>:8080/faf in /etc/libreport/plugins/ureport.conf.

Configuring FAF

New containers come with fully working and configured FAF (on top of basic configuration Fedora releases are added, caching is disabled, and FAF accepts unknown components).

To run any FAF action, please run them as faf user.

docker exec faf faf <action> <arguments>

How to build the image

cd faf/docker

make build to build from copr

make build_local to build from currently checked out github branch

make build_db to build database

For easier using and debugging you can use also:

make run to run copr version of FAF

make run_local to run git version of FAF

make sh to jump into bash in the container

make del to remove faf container

'make run_db' to run database
