hiSHtory is a better shell history. It stores your shell history in context (what directory you ran the command in, whether it succeeded or failed, how long it took, etc). This is all stored locally and end-to-end encrypted for syncing to to all your other computers.

Supported Architectures

We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/hishtory-server: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

Application Setup

This container requires an external postgres database.

After you have installed hishtory on your machine, add export HISHTORY_SERVER=http://1.2.3.4:8080 (with your server details) to your shellrc. Then run hishtory init (or hishtory init ${SECRET_KEY}) to initialise hishtory against your local server.

See the project readme for more details.

Usage

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

---
version: "2.1"
services:
  hishtory-server:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/hishtory-server:latest
    container_name: hishtory-server
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Etc/UTC
      - HISHTORY_POSTGRES_DB=postgresql://${HISHTORY_DB_USER}:${HISHTORY_DB_PASS}@hishtory-db:5432/hishtory?sslmode=disable
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
    restart: unless-stopped

docker cli (click here for more info)

docker run -d \
  --name=hishtory-server \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Etc/UTC \
  -e HISHTORY_POSTGRES_DB=postgresql://${HISHTORY_DB_USER}:${HISHTORY_DB_PASS}@hishtory-db:5432/hishtory?sslmode=disable \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  lscr.io/linuxserver/hishtory-server: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
8080 API port

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.
HISHTORY_POSTGRES_DB=postgresql://${HISHTORY_DB_USER}:${HISHTORY_DB_PASS}@hishtory-db:5432/hishtory?sslmode=disable Postgres DB Connection URI. Special characters must be URL encoded.

Volume Mappings (-v)

Volume Function

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:

-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 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:

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

Docker Mods

Docker Mods Docker Universal Mods

We publish various 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.

Support Info

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