How to use this image

The above Bold Reports image can be deployed using Docker or Docker Compose. In the following section, we are going to start the Bold Reports application and a separate PostgreSQL instance with volume mounts for data persistence using Docker Compose.

  1. Download the Docker Compose file by using the following command.
curl -o docker-compose.yml "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boldreports/bold-reports-docker/master/deploy/single-container-eval/docker-compose.yaml"
  1. Fill the BOLD_SERVICES_UNLOCK_KEY value, and save it. You can refer to this KB document to obtain the offline Bold Reports unlock key.

    docker-compose-variable

  2. Fill the Environment Variables and optional library by refer this.

  3. Run the command below. This command will start the Bold Reports and Postgres SQL containers and display the Bold Reports logs to provide information about the installation status of the Bold Reports application.

    docker-compose up -d; docker-compose logs -f boldreports

    docker-compose-up

  4. Now, access the Bold Reports application by entering the URL as http://localhost:8090 or http://host-ip:8090 in the browser. When opening this URL in the browser, it will configure the application startup in the background and display the page below within a few seconds. The default port number mentioned in the compose file is 8090. If you are making changes to the port number, then you need to use that port number for accessing the Bold Reports application.

    docker-startup

    Note:
    1. The deployment steps above are recommended for evaluation purposes only. For a production use case, you will need to mount the volume to the host path location or online storage and utilize managed DB servers.
    2. Don't use localhost IP (http://127.0.0.1) with port to access the application.
