🐳 Containerised p4d

Get a p4d server up and running in no time!

Caution

Default configuration is insecure, it is up to you to configure appropriately via your p4 client or the P4Admin GUI.

There is no automated backup system included.

Notes

• Case insensitive mode is enabled
• Database upgrades are run at every startup, this is not a replacement for reading the change-notes
• SSL is enabled
• Unicode mode is enabled

Setup

1. Make a copy of p4d.env.template called p4d.env, and modify SERVER_NAME to taste
2. Start the container with docker compose up --build or podman compose up --build
3. Create a user with your p4 client or via P4V, using P4PORT=ssl:<hostname>:1666
4. Upload a typemap

Maintenance

Re-generating the SSL certificate

1. Stop the container
2. Delete the ./db/ssl folder (or move it elsewhere if you'd like to keep the old cert)
3. Start the container again

Other

If you need to poke around inside the container such for as backups and upgrades, you'll need to use this command:

<docker/podman> compose run --rm --build --entrypoint /bin/bash p4d
