Root certificate in docker

Get Help
1

Hey there,

I’ve installed Xibo 1.8.9 Docker on a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS OS.

I need to install a root certificate because https Websites in our environment only work with the certificate.

How can I install the certificate in the Docker?

The images for 1.8.11 have support for this built in.

You’ll need to upgrade to 1.8.11, and add the following to the volumes line of your cms-web container in the docker-compose file before bringing the containers up:

- "./shared/cms/ca-certs:/var/www/cms/ca-certs"

So the complete section reads:

cms-web:
    image: xibosignage/xibo-cms:release-1.8.11
    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"
        - "./shared/cms/ca-certs:/var/www/cms/ca-certs"
    restart: always
    links:
        - cms-db:mysql
        - cms-xmr:50001
    environment:
        - XMR_HOST=cms-xmr
    env_file: config.env
    ports:
        - "80:80"
    mem_limit: 1g

Next make the directory shared/cms/ca-certs and put your root certificate in x509 format in there as any file name ending in .crt - eg myca.crt

When you start the containers, that certificate will be automatically incorporated.
