Multiple Xibo on Single Server

Get Help
1

HI All,

I am trying to set up multiple Xibo on a single ubuntu server.
I’m new to docker and have been learning as I go. I have manged to get a single instance of Xibo running perfectly on its own.
However I need to have 2-3 Instances of Xibo on a single server. I setup Nginx first then set up an instance of xibo.
I have never used Nginx so I am going of things I found on google…

I changed the ports in Xibo to 127.0.0.1:9506:9505 & 127.0.0.1:81:80

Then ran the cmd (i tried several this is the only one that would run)
sudo docker run -d --name xibo --expose 80 --net nginx-proxy -e VIRTUAL_HOST=signage.mysite.com xibosignage/xibo-cms:release_1.8.0

if i go tot he website signage.mysite.com it loads up and says
Fatal Error - sorry this shouldn't happen. SQLSTATE[HY000] [2005] Unknown MySQL server host 'mysql' (0)

I’m assuming I’m doing this wrong, can you let me know the right way to do this?

You can’t really run the CMS container alone, it needs the supporting containers too.

You need to use the docker-compose files we ship, and modify those to suit your proxy.

So for example, in your command above, you’d make a directory for the first instance, and extract the docker-compose files in to it. You’d then setup config.env per the instructions in the manual.

You’d then copy the cms_custom-ports.yml.template file to cms_custom-ports.yml, and customise it for your needs. Something like this perhaps:

version: "2.1"

services:
    cms-db:
        image: mysql:5.6
        volumes:
            - "./shared/db:/var/lib/mysql"
        restart: always
        environment:
            - MYSQL_DATABASE=cms
            - MYSQL_USER=cms
            - MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=yes
        mem_limit: 1g
        env_file: config.env
    cms-xmr:
        image: xibosignage/xibo-xmr:release_1.8.2
        ports:
            - "9506:9505"
        restart: always
        mem_limit: 256m
        env_file: config.env
    cms-web:
        image: xibosignage/xibo-cms:release_1.8.2
        networks:
            - nginx-proxy
            - default
        volumes:
            - "./shared/cms/custom:/var/www/cms/custom"
            - "./shared/backup:/var/www/backup"
            - "./shared/cms/web/theme/custom:/var/www/cms/web/theme/custom"
            - "./shared/cms/library:/var/www/cms/library"
            - "./shared/cms/web/userscripts:/var/www/cms/web/userscripts"
        restart: always
        links:
            - cms-db:mysql
            - cms-xmr:50001
        environment:
            - XMR_HOST=cms-xmr
            - VIRTUAL_HOST=signage.mysite.com
        env_file: config.env
        mem_limit: 1g
networks:
  nginx-proxy:
    external:
      name: nginx-proxy

Finally you’d run docker-compose -f cms_custom-ports.yml up -d to bring the CMS up.
