# Docker

Note that this Dockerized environment **is not suitable** for production deployments, see [Installations](https://github.com/rathena/rathena/wiki/installations) instead.

### How to setup a local development environment :computer:

1. `docker-compose up -d` to spin up dev container and database (ensure port `3306` is free)
2. `docker-compose run builder bash` in order to run aditional build or shell scripts within the linux context.
3. All rAthena development commands can be executed inside the dev container, such as compiling (`./configure`, `make clean server`) and starting the server (`./athena-start`, `gdb map-server`, etc ...)
4. `docker-compose down` outside the dev container when done to close database and free resources
5. All commands expect you to have change directory to this directory, `$projectRoot/tools/docker`.
6. Change the value of `BUILDER_CONFIGURE` environment variable of the `builder` service in order to change the parameters sent to the `./configure` command
> If you have already compiled the project once, you might want to connect directly to the builder service (see 2.) and run commands from there (see 3.). 
7. If you want the builder to build your project on each start change line 8 from
```bash
  export runBuild=0;
```
to
```bash
  export runBuild=1;
```

#### Tips & tricks for local development :beginner:

- Ensure you don't have a database running locally and listening on port `3306` this will cause the database container to fail starting up.
- All file edits within the repository are reflected inside the container, so you can develop in your preferred text editor or IDE.
  - Files into ./asset take precedence over conf/import/ counterpart
- Connect to the local database with following credentials:
  - Host: `localhost`
  - Port: `3306`
  - User: `ragnarok`
  - Password: `ragnarok`
- On first start up all `/sql-files/*.sql` files are imported into the database. This does not happen on future start ups unless the volume has been deleted.
- Database is saved to local disk so state is persisted between shutdowns and start ups. To fully erase your database and start fresh, delete the volume with `docker-compose down --volumes`
- Check the status of containers with `docker-compose ps`
- If you have modified the `Dockerfile`, be sure to rebuild the docker image with `docker-compose build`
