The following script is an automated installation script for InvenTree that fetches the current docker-compose.yml and other configs from GitHub, modifies them so that only local directories are used for storage and then setups InvenTree.
First, create a directory such as /opt/inventree-mydomain. I recommend to choose a unique directory name and not just inventree to keep instae
#!/bin/sh wget -O nginx.prod.conf https://github.com/inventree/InvenTree/raw/master/docker/production/nginx.prod.conf wget -O docker-compose.yml https://github.com/inventree/InvenTree/raw/master/docker/production/docker-compose.yml wget -O .env https://github.com/inventree/InvenTree/raw/master/docker/production/.env sed -i -e 's/#INVENTREE_DB_USER=pguser/INVENTREE_DB_USER=inventree/g' .env sed -i -e "s/#INVENTREE_DB_PASSWORD=pgpassword/INVENTREE_DB_PASSWORD=$(pwgen 30 1)/g" .env sed -i -e "s/INVENTREE_WEB_PORT=1337/INVENTREE_WEB_PORT=$(shuf -i 1024-65535 -n 1)/g" .env sed -i -e "s/#INVENTREE_ADMIN_USER=/INVENTREE_ADMIN_USER=admin/g" .env sed -i -e "s/#INVENTREE_ADMIN_PASSWORD=/INVENTREE_ADMIN_PASSWORD=$(pwgen 30 1)/g" .env sed -i -e "s/#INVENTREE_ADMIN_EMAIL=/[email protected]/g" .env sed -i -e 's/COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=inventree-production//g' .env # Enable cache sed -i -e "s/#INVENTREE_CACHE_HOST=inventree-cache/INVENTREE_CACHE_HOST=inventree-cache/g" .env sed -i -e "s/#INVENTREE_CACHE_PORT=6379/INVENTREE_CACHE_PORT=6379/g" .env # Use direct directory mapping to avoid mounting issues sed -i -e "s%- inventree_data:%- $(pwd)/inventree_data:%g" docker-compose.yml # ... now we can remove the volume declarations from docker-compose.yml sed -i -e '/^volumes:/,$d' docker-compose.yml sed -z -i -e 's#profiles:\s*- redis\s*##g' docker-compose.yml # Make redis start always, even without docker-compose --profile redis # Use standard docker-compose directory naming to facilitate multiple parallel installations sed -z -i -e 's#container_name:\s*[a-zA-Z0-9_-]*\s*##g' docker-compose.yml # Remove container_name: ... statements # Create data directory which is bound to the docker volume mkdir -p inventree_data # Initialize database docker-compose up -d inventree-cache inventree-db # database initialization needs cache docker-compose run inventree-server invoke update
After that, you can check .env for the randomly generated INVENTREE_ADMIN_PASSWORD and INVENTREE_WEB_PORT.
Now you can enable autostart & start the service using systemd, for more details see our post Create a systemd service for your docker-compose project in 10 seconds:
curl -fsSL https://techoverflow.net/scripts/create-docker-compose-service.sh | sudo bash /dev/stdin
Don’t forget to configure your reverse proxy to point to InvenTree.
