[Clarkson](https://github.com/linuxserver/Clarkson) is a web-based dashboard application that gives you a neat and clean interface for logging your fuel fill-ups for all of your vehicles. The application has full multi-user support, as well as multiple vehicles per user. Whenever you fill-up your car or motorcycle, keep the receipt and record the data in Clarkson.
Our images support multiple architectures such as `x86-64`, `arm64` and `armhf`. 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/).
**Clarkson requires v5.7.* of MySQL and please ensure MySQL is running before starting this container**.
It is preferred if you create the `clarkson` schema before initially running the container, then creating a user with granted permissions for the schema. Creating the schema before running the app is important as the "clarkson" user will not have permission to create the schema on your behalf. You can, of course, use the "root" user, which has the ability to create schemas automatically, but this is not recommended.
```sql
CREATE SCHEMA `clarkson`;
CREATE USER 'clarkson_user' IDENTIFIED BY 'supersecretpassword';
GRANT ALL ON `clarkson`.* TO 'clarkson_user';
```
Once running, the container will run an initial MySQL migration, which populates the schema with all tables and procedures. The application will start immediately afterwards. You will need to register an initial user, of which will be the admin of the application. All subsequent users will be standard users. You can disable registrations after the fact by recreating the container with the `ENABLE_REGISTRATIONS` flag set to `false`. This will not hide the "Register" link, but will disable the functionality.
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.
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.
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`.

We publish various [Docker Mods](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-mods) to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
