Download the Devilbox
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
The Devilbox does not need to be installed. The only thing that is required is its git directory.
|
|
To download that, open a terminal and copy/paste the following command.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
host> git clone https://github.com/cytopia/devilbox
|
|
|
|

* :ref:`howto_open_terminal_on_win`
|
|
* :ref:`checkout-different-devilbox-release`
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create ``.env`` file
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Inside the cloned Devilbox git directory, you will find a file called ``env-example``. This file
|
|
is the main configuration with sane defaults for Docker Compose. In order to use it, it must be
|
|
copied to a file named ``.env``. (Pay attention to the leading dot).
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
host> cp env-example .env
|
|
|
|
The ``.env`` file does nothing else then providing environment variables for Docker Compose
|
|
and in this case it is used as the main configuration file for the Devilbox by providing all kinds
|
|
of settings (such as which version to start up).

|
Set uid and gid
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
To get you started, there are only two variables that need to be adjusted:
|
|
|
|
* ``NEW_UID``
|
|
* ``NEW_GID``
|
|
|
|
The values for those two variables refer to your local (on your host operating system) user id
|
|
and group id. To find out what the values are required in your case, issue the following commands
|
|
on a terminal:
|
|
|
|
Find your user id
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
host> id -u
|
|
|
|
Find your group id
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
host> id -g
|
|
|
|
In most cases both values will be ``1000``, but for the sake of this example, let's assume a value
|
|
of ``1001`` for the user id and ``1002`` for the group id.
|
|
|
|
Open the ``.env`` file with your favorite text editor and adjust those values:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
:caption: .env
|
|
:emphasize-lines: 3,4
|
|
|
|
host> vi .env
|
|
|
|
NEW_UID=1001
|
|
NEW_GID=1002
