Quick Deployment Guide with Docker Compose

This guide explains how to quickly deploy Xboard using Docker Compose. By default, it uses SQLite database, eliminating the need for a separate MySQL installation.

1. Environment Preparation

Install Docker:

curl -sSL https://get.docker.com | bash

# For CentOS systems, also run:
systemctl enable docker
systemctl start docker

2. Deployment Steps

1. Clone the compose branch (it ships compose.sample.yaml and the other compose.*.sample.yaml variants):

   git clone -b compose --depth 1 https://github.com/cedar2025/Xboard
   cd Xboard
   cp compose.sample.yaml compose.yaml
   

2. Install database:

• Quick installation (Recommended for beginners)

docker compose run -it --rm \
    -e ENABLE_SQLITE=true \
    -e ENABLE_REDIS=true \
    -e ADMIN_ACCOUNT=admin@demo.com \
    xboard php artisan xboard:install

• Custom configuration installation (Advanced users)

docker compose run -it --rm xboard php artisan xboard:install

Please save the admin dashboard URL, username, and password shown after installation The repository ships four compose templates in the compose branch — pick the one matching your setup, copy it to compose.yaml, then run the install command:

File	Network	When to use
compose.sample.yaml	bridge + ports 7001:7001	bare docker, custom reverse proxy, aaPanel + Docker (default)
compose.host.sample.yaml	network_mode: host	aaPanel native (openresty on host)
compose.1panel.sample.yaml	bridge + external 1panel-network	1Panel users (so the container can reach 1Panel-managed MySQL/Redis)
compose.split.sample.yaml	multi-container (web/horizon/ws-server/redis split)	K8s migration, advanced scaling

The local compose.yaml is gitignored so your edits survive git pull when you do clone the repo.

3. Start services:

docker compose up -d

4. Access the site:

• Default port: 7001
• Website URL: http://your-server-ip:7001

3. Version Updates

cd Xboard
docker compose pull && docker compose up -d

4. Version Rollback

1. Modify the version number in docker-compose.yaml to the version you want to roll back to
2. Execute: docker compose up -d

Important Notes

• If you need to use MySQL, please install it separately and redeploy
• Code changes require service restart to take effect
• You can configure Nginx reverse proxy to use port 80
