Running Teatime with Docker

Teatime is built to be published as a containerized image, so it'll run anywhere Docker does. To get started, create a docker-compose.yml:

docker-compose.yml

yaml

services:
  teatime:
    image: ghcr.io/melosso/teatime:latest
    container_name: teatime
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    volumes:
      - ./content:/app/content

Mount your content/ folder so your posts stay editable from the host, then bring it up:

bash

docker compose up -d

Your blog is then available at http://localhost:8080.

TIP

Because content/ is a volume, dropping in a new Markdown post is enough for it to appear. There is no process to restart since the server will pick these changes up automagically.

Behind a reverse proxy, set Docs:BasePath (or --base-path for a static export) so every internal link resolves under your chosen path. For the one time setup, the installation guide covers the rest, and environment variables lists what you can set from your compose file.
