Table of contents

Prerequisite

Before starting InstaPy container, you have to follow few steps to prepare your environment:

  • Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/InstaPy/instapy-docker.git
  • Change your directory to docker-compose
cd docker-compose
  • If you previously ran InstaPy the classical way you have to move InstaPy logs folder, which is by default saved in your home directory ~/InstaPy, into the current folder otherwise you will loose all your previous data
mv ~/InstaPy .
  • Copy the quickstart example file to get started
cp -a docker_quickstart.py.example docker_quickstart.py
  • Edit the file docker_quickstart.py to personalize how InstaPy will interact. All functions are the same than the classic installation mode. If you are new to InstaPy, we strongly suggest to have a look to InstaPy documentation to fully understand this file and how to modify it. Keep in mind all InstaPy functions should start with bot. when running with Docker.

Start InstaPy container

To make sure you always use the latest version of InstaPy, always start the container with the following command. This way, if a new version of InstaPy docker image is released, it will ensure to download it before starting the container.

docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d web

Stop InstaPy container

docker-compose stop web

Stop and remove InstaPy docker config

docker-compose down

Display InstaPy output logs

Use one of the two following commands

docker logs -f instapy_web_1

docker logs --tail 50 -f $(docker ps -a | grep instapy_web | cut -d " " -f 1)

Automatically run InstaPy or run it at a specified time

Use cron to run InstaPy automatically at a specific time. Example below: run it everyday at 8:30AM

  • Edit your crontab file
  • Add 30 8 * * * root cd /path_to_repo/docker-compose/ && docker-compose up -d

Deploy specific version of InstaPy

By default, you will use the latest version of InstaPy. For some reasons, if you want to run a specific version you could with adapting the starting command (see above) by replacing tag latest with the desire released version of InstaPy.

It will then start a container of InstaPy with the corresponding version. Please be aware breaking chanes may exist between version and refers to the changelog of InstaPy to adapt your quickstart file.
