The easiest way to serve SiYuan on a server is to deploy it through Docker.
b3log/siyuan
The overall program is located under /opt/siyuan/
, which is basically the structure under the resources folder of the Electron installation package:
The entry point is set when building the Docker image: ENTRYPOINT ["/opt/siyuan/entrypoint.sh"]
. This script allows changing the PUID
and PGID
of the user that will run inside the container. This is especially relevant to solve permission issues when mounting directories from the host. The PUID
(User ID) and PGID
(Group ID) can be passed as environment variables, making it easier to ensure correct permissions when accessing host-mounted directories.
Use the following parameters when running the container with docker run b3log/siyuan
:
--workspace
: Specifies the workspace folder path, mounted to the container via -v
on the host--accessAuthCode
: Specifies the access authorization codeMore parameters can be found using --help
. Here’s an example of a startup command with the new environment variables:
docker run -d \
-v workspace_dir_host:workspace_dir_container \
-p 6806:6806 \
-e PUID=1001 -e PGID=1002 \
b3log/siyuan \
--workspace=workspace_dir_container \
--accessAuthCode=xxx
PUID
: Custom user ID (optional, defaults to 1000
if not provided)PGID
: Custom group ID (optional, defaults to 1000
if not provided)workspace_dir_host
: The workspace folder path on the hostworkspace_dir_container
: The path of the workspace folder in the container, as specified in --workspace
accessAuthCode
: Access authorization code (please be sure to modify, otherwise anyone can access your data)To simplify things, it is recommended to configure the workspace folder path to be consistent on the host and container, such as having both workspace_dir_host
and workspace_dir_container
configured as /siyuan/workspace
. The corresponding startup command would be:
docker run -d \
-v /siyuan/workspace:/siyuan/workspace \
-p 6806:6806 \
-e PUID=1001 -e PGID=1002 \
b3log/siyuan \
--workspace=/siyuan/workspace/ \
--accessAuthCode=xxx
For users running Siyuan with Docker Compose, the environment variables PUID
and PGID
can be passed to customize the user and group IDs. Here's an example of a Docker Compose configuration:
version: "3.9"
services:
main:
image: b3log/siyuan
command: ['--workspace=/siyuan/workspace/', '--accessAuthCode=${AuthCode}']
ports:
- 6806:6806
volumes:
- /siyuan/workspace:/siyuan/workspace
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
# A list of time zone identifiers can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
- TZ=${YOUR_TIME_ZONE}
- PUID=${YOUR_USER_PUID} # Customize user ID
- PGID=${YOUR_USER_PGID} # Customize group ID
In this setup:
PUID
and PGID
are set dynamically and passed to the container1000
will be usedBy specifying PUID
and PGID
in the environment, you avoid the need to explicitly set the user
directive (user: '1000:1000'
) in the compose file. The container will dynamically adjust the user and group based on these environment variables at startup.
In the image, the entrypoint.sh
script ensures the creation of the siyuan
user and group with the specified PUID
and PGID
. Therefore, when the host creates a workspace folder, pay attention to setting the user and group ownership of the folder to match the PUID
and PGID
you plan to use. For example:
chown -R 1001:1002 /siyuan/workspace
If you use custom PUID
and PGID
values, the entrypoint script will ensure that the correct user and group are created inside the container, and ownership of mounted volumes will be adjusted accordingly. There’s no need to manually pass -u
in docker run
or docker-compose
as the environment variables will handle the customization.
Use NGINX reverse proxy to hide port 6806, please note:
/ws
PUID
and PGID
environment variables match the ownership of the mounted directories on your host systemNote: First run chown -R 1000:1000 /mnt/user/appdata/siyuan
in the terminal
