linuxserver/pylon

Pylon is a web based integrated development environment built with Node.js as a backend and with a supercharged JavaScript/HTML5 frontend, licensed under GPL version 3. This project originates from Cloud9 v2 project.

Supported Architectures

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 and our announcement here.

Simply pulling linuxserver/pylon 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	Tag
x86-64	amd64-latest
arm64	arm64v8-latest
armhf	arm32v7-latest

Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.

docker

docker create \
  --name=pylon \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -e GITURL=https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-pylon.git `#optional` \
  -e PYUSER=myuser `#optional` \
  -e PYPASS=mypass `#optional` \
  -p 3131:3131 \
  -v <path to your code>:/code `#optional` \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/pylon

docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

version: "2"
services:
  pylon:
    image: linuxserver/pylon
    container_name: pylon
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/London
      - GITURL=https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-pylon.git #optional

    volumes:
      - <path to your code>:/code #optional
    ports:
      - 3131:3131
    restart: unless-stopped

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
3131	The port for the Pylon web interface

Environment Variables (-e)

Env	Function
PUID=1000	for UserID - see below for explanation
PGID=1000	for GroupID - see below for explanation
TZ=Europe/London	Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London
GITURL=https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-pylon.git	Specify a git repo to checkout on first startup
PYUSER=myuser	Specify a basic auth user.
PYPASS=mypass	Specify a basic auth password.

Volume Mappings (-v)

Volume	Function
/code	Optionally if you want the bind mount your own code and have changes survive container upgrades.

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:

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

Application Setup

Access the webui at http://your-ip:3131, more information here.

Support Info

• Shell access whilst the container is running:
  • docker exec -it pylon /bin/bash
• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
  • docker logs -f pylon
• Container version number
  • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' pylon
• Image version number
  • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/pylon

Versions

• 19.09.19: - Initial Release.
