What is Friendica?

Friendica is a decentralised communications platform that integrates social communication. Our platform links to independent social projects and corporate services.

How to use this image

The images are designed to be used in a micro-service environment. There are two types of the image you can choose from.

The apache tag contains a full Friendica installation including an apache web server. It is designed to be easy to use and gets you running pretty fast. This is also the default for the latest tag and version tags that are not further specified.

The second option is a fpm container. It is based on the php-fpm image and runs a fastCGI-Process that serves your Friendica server. To use this image it must be combined with any Webserver that can proxy the http requests to the FastCGI-port of the container.

Using the apache image

You need at least one other mariadb/mysql-container to link it to Friendica.

The apache image contains a webserver and exposes port 80. To start the container type:

$ docker run -d -p 8080:80 --network some-network friendica

Now you can access the Friendica installation wizard at http://localhost:8080/ from your host system.

Using the fpm image

To use the fpm image you need an additional web server that can proxy http-request to the fpm-port of the container. For fpm connection this container exposes port 9000. In most cases you might want use another container or your host as proxy. If you use your host you can address your Friendica container directly on port 9000. If you use another container, make sure that you add them to the same docker network (via docker run --network <NAME> ... or a compose.yaml file). In both cases you don't want to map the fpm port to you host.

$ docker run -d friendica:fpm

As the fastCGI-Process is not capable of serving static files (style sheets, images, ...) the webserver needs access to these files. This can be achieved with the volumes-from option. You can find more information in the Docker Compose section.
