In this guide, we will walk through the steps to install Outline using Docker on Ubuntu.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 1: Update Your System<\/h2>\n<p>Start by ensuring your system is up to date:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo apt update &amp;&amp; sudo apt upgrade<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Step 2: Install Docker<\/h2>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t installed Docker yet, you can do so by running the following commands:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common\r\ncurl -fsSL https:\/\/download.docker.com\/linux\/ubuntu\/gpg | sudo apt-key add -\r\nsudo add-apt-repository \"deb [arch=amd64] https:\/\/download.docker.com\/linux\/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable\"\r\nsudo apt update\r\nsudo apt install docker-ce<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Step 3: Install Docker Compose<\/h2>\n<p>Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. Install it using:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo curl -L \"https:\/\/github.com\/docker\/compose\/releases\/latest\/download\/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)\" -o \/usr\/local\/bin\/docker-compose\r\nsudo chmod +x \/usr\/local\/bin\/docker-compose<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Step 4: Create a Directory for Outline<\/h2>\n<p>Create a directory to hold the Outline files:<\/p>\n<pre><code>mkdir ~\/outline\r\ncd ~\/outline<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Step 5: Create the Docker Compose File<\/h2>\n<p>Create a <code>docker-compose.yml<\/code> file in the Outline directory with the following content:<\/p>\n<pre><code>version: '3'\r\nservices:\r\n  outline:\r\n    image: outline\/outline\r\n    ports:\r\n      - \"80:80\"\r\n    environment:\r\n      - DATABASE_URL=mysql:\/\/outline:password@mysql\/outline\r\n    depends_on:\r\n      - mysql\r\n  mysql:\r\n    image: mysql:5.7\r\n    environment:\r\n      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password\r\n      - MYSQL_DATABASE=outline\r\n      - MYSQL_USER=outline\r\n      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=password\r\n    volumes:\r\n      - mysql_data:\/var\/lib\/mysql\r\n\r\nvolumes:\r\n  mysql_data:<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Step 6: Start Outline<\/h2>\n<p>Run the following command to start Outline using Docker Compose:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo docker-compose up -d<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Step 7: Access the Outline Web Interface<\/h2>\n<p>Once the containers are running, you can access the Outline web interface by navigating to:<\/p>\n<pre><code>http:\/\/your_server_ip<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 8: Configure Nginx (Optional)<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to run Outline behind a reverse proxy, you can set up Nginx. Install Nginx:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo apt install nginx<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Configure Nginx to proxy requests to your Outline instance:<\/p>\n<pre><code>server {\r\n        listen 80;\r\n        server_name your_domain_or_ip;\r\n\r\n        location \/ {\r\n            proxy_pass http:\/\/localhost:80;\r\n            proxy_set_header Host $host;\r\n            proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;\r\n            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;\r\n            proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;\r\n        }\r\n    }<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Then restart Nginx:<\/p>\n<pre><code>sudo systemctl restart nginx<\/code><\/pre>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>You have successfully installed Outline Knowledgebase Wiki on Ubuntu using Docker.
