# Docker usage instructions
|
|
|
|
Docker distribution of DiscordChatExporter provides a way to run the app in a virtualized and isolated environment. Due to the nature of Docker, you also don't need to install any prerequisites otherwise required by DCE.
|
|
|
|
Note that only the CLI flavor of DiscordChatExporter is available for use with Docker.
|
|
|
|
## Pulling
|
|
|
|
This will download the [Docker image from the registry](https://hub.docker.com/r/tyrrrz/discordchatexporter) to your computer. You can run this command again to update when a new version is released.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
docker pull tyrrrz/discordchatexporter:stable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note the `:stable` tag. DiscordChatExporter images are tagged according to the following patterns:
|
|
|
|
- `stable`: Latest stable version release and maps to the latest GitHub release. This tag is updated with release of each new version. Recommended for personal use.
|
|
- `latest`: Built from the latest commit and maps to the latest CI build on GitHub. This tag is updated with each new commit to `master` branch. Not recommended for everyday use, but you can use it if you want to try out some features that haven't been officially released yet.
|
|
- `x.y.z` (e.g. `2.30.1`): Fixed version release and maps to the corresponding tag on GitHub. This tag is never updated once that version has been released. Recommended for use in automation scenarios.
|
|
|
|
You can see all available tags [here](https://hub.docker.com/r/tyrrrz/discordchatexporter/tags?ordering=name).
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
To run the CLI in Docker and render help text:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
docker run --rm tyrrrz/discordchatexporter:stable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To export a channel:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
docker run --rm -v /path/on/machine:/out tyrrrz/discordchatexporter:stable export -t TOKEN -c CHANNELID
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want colored output and real-time progress reporting, pass the `-it` (interactive) option:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
docker run --rm -it -v /path/on/machine:/out tyrrrz/discordchatexporter:stable export -t TOKEN -c CHANNELID
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note the `-v /path/on/machine:/out` option, which instructs Docker to bind the `/out` directory inside the container to a path on your host machine. Replace `/path/on/machine` with the directory you want the files to be saved at.
|
|
|
|
> **Note**:
|
|
> If you are running SELinux, you will need to add the `:z` option after `/out`, e.g.:
|
|
>
|
|
> ```console
|
|
> docker run --rm -v /path/on/machine:/out:z tyrrrz/discordchatexporter:stable export -t TOKEN -c CHANNELID
|
|
> ```
|
|
>
|
|
> For more information, refer to the [Docker docs SELinux labels for bind mounts page](https://docs.docker.com/storage/bind-mounts/#configure-the-selinux-label).
|
|
|
|
You can also use the current working directory as the output directory by specifying:
|
|
|
|
- `-v $PWD:/out` in Bash
|
|
- `-v $pwd.Path:/out` in PowerShell
|
|
|
|
For more information, please refer to the [Dockerfile](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/blob/master/DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dockerfile) and [Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run).
|
|
|
|
To get your Token and Channel IDs, please refer to [this page](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/blob/master/.docs/Token-and-IDs.md).
|
|
|
|
## Environment variables
|
|
|
|
DiscordChatExpoter CLI accepts the `DISCORD_TOKEN` environment variable as a fallback for the `--token` option. You can set this variable either with the `--env` Docker option or with a combination of the `--env-file` Docker option and a `.env` file.
|
|
|
|
Please refer to the [Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/run/#set-environment-variables--e---env---env-file) for more information.
|
|
|
|
## Permission issues with Linux hosts
|
|
|
|
When bounding volumes between the container and the host, files mirrored from the Docker container will be owned by the Docker user (in most setups this is `root`). Please refer to this [issue comment](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/issues/800#issuecomment-1030471970) for instructions on how to override this behavior.
