[diskover](https://github.com/diskoverdata/diskover-community) is an open source file system indexer that uses Elasticsearch to index and manage data across heterogeneous storage systems.

## Supported Architectures

We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker [here](https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/docs/spec/manifest-v2-2.md#manifest-list) and our announcement [here](https://blog.linuxserver.io/2019/02/21/the-lsio-pipeline-project/).

Simply pulling `lscr.io/linuxserver/diskover:latest` should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

| Architecture | Available | Tag |
| :----: | :----: | ---- |
| x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-\<version tag\> |
| arm64 | ✅ | arm64v8-\<version tag\> |
| armhf | ✅ | arm32v7-\<version tag\> |

## Application Setup

This application is dependent on an ElasticSearch instance. Please see the example compose file for additional information.

The default username is diskover with the password of **darkdata**, access the container at `http://<host-ip>/`. The UI may be unusable until a valid index has been created.

The default diskover-web Constants.php file located at `/config/diskover-web.conf.d/Constants.php` will need to be edited to allow diskover-web to communicate with the ElasticSearch container. The following entries will need to be edited:
* `const ES_HOST = elasticsearch`
* `const ES_PORT = 9200`

The application doesn't start an index by default. A crontab is created inside of the `/config` directory and can be set up to run automated indexes of `/data`. Changes to this crontab file require a restart to apply. You can also manually run an index by executing `/app/diskover/diskover.py` either in interactive or detached mode:

* `docker exec -u abc -d diskover python3 /app/diskover/diskover.py -i diskover-my_index_name /data` Will run an index in the background
* `docker exec -u abc -it diskover python3 /app/diskover/diskover.py -i diskover-my_index_name /data` Will run an index in the foreground

## Usage

To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.

### docker-compose (recommended, [click here for more info](https://docs.linuxserver.io/general/docker-compose))

```yaml
version: '2'
services:
  diskover:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/diskover
    container_name: diskover
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=America/New_York
      - ES_HOST=elasticsearch
      - ES_PORT=9200
    volumes:
      - /path/to/diskover/config:/config
      - /path/to/diskover/data:/data
    ports:
      - 80:80
    mem_limit: 4096m
    restart: unless-stopped
    depends_on:
      - elasticsearch
  elasticsearch:
    container_name: elasticsearch
    image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.10.2
    environment:
      - discovery.type=single-node
      - xpack.security.enabled=true
      - bootstrap.memory_lock=true
      - "ES_JAVA_OPTS=-Xms1g -Xmx1g"
    ulimits:
      memlock:
        soft: -1
        hard: -1
    volumes:
      - /path/to/esdata:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data
    ports:
      - 9200:9200
    depends_on:
      - elasticsearch-helper
    restart: unless-stopped
  elasticsearch-helper:
    image: alpine
    command: sh -c "sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144"
    privileged: true

```

### docker cli ([click here for more info](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/cli/))

```bash
docker run -d \
  --name=diskover \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Etc/UTC \
  -e ES_HOST=elasticsearch \
  -e ES_PORT=9200 \
  -e ES_USER=elastic \
  -e ES_PASS=changeme \
  -p 80:80 \
  -v /path/to/diskover/config:/config \
  -v /path/to/diskover/data:/data \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  lscr.io/linuxserver/diskover:latest

```

## Parameters

Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate `<external>:<internal>` respectively. For example, `-p 8080:80` would expose port `80` from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port `8080` outside the container.

### Ports (`-p`)

| Parameter | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `80` | diskover Web UI |

### Environment Variables (`-e`)

| Env | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `PUID=1000` | for UserID - see below for explanation |
| `PGID=1000` | for GroupID - see below for explanation |
| `TZ=Etc/UTC` | specify a timezone to use, see this [list](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones#List). |
| `ES_HOST=elasticsearch` | ElasticSearch host (optional) |
| `ES_PORT=9200` | ElasticSearch port (optional) |
| `ES_USER=elastic` | ElasticSearch username (optional) |
| `ES_PASS=changeme` | ElasticSearch password (optional) |

### Volume Mappings (`-v`)

| Volume | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `/config` | Persistent config files |
| `/data` | Default mount point to crawl |

#### Miscellaneous Options

| Parameter | Function |
| :-----:   | --- |

## Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)

You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend `FILE__`.

As an example:

```bash
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword
```

Will set the environment variable `PASSWORD` based on the contents of the `/run/secrets/mysecretpassword` file.

## Umask for running applications

For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional `-e UMASK=022` setting.
Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask) before asking for support.

## User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes (`-v` flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user `PUID` and group `PGID`.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance `PUID=1000` and `PGID=1000`, to find yours use `id user` as below:

```bash
  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
```
