Guide: How to run MediaCMS with Docker

If you want to bind volumes outside of Docker, this is what you need to do.

There was a huge permission and volume mapping problem. I mention github issues that helped me here.

I hope that will help noobs and insecure people like me.

cd /srv/path/Files

git clone https://github.com/mediacms-io/mediacms

cd /srv/path/Files/mediacms

mkdir postgres_data \

docker-compose up -d

CSS will probably be missing because reasons, so bash into web container

docker exec -it mediacms_web_1 /bin/bash

Then

python manage.py collectstatic

No need to reboot
