WriteFreely Blog/Notes Server

This is an Alpine-based container hosting the WriteFreely blogging web service.

To secure this service, we suggest a separate reverse proxy server, such as nephatrine/nginx-ssl.

To support blog comments, we recommend integrating a comment service such as nephatrine/remark42-ce.

Configuration

You will likely want to create an admin account after installation. You can do that by using the container's terminal to run the following command:

writefreely -c /mnt/config/etc/writefreely.ini --create-admin [username]:[password]

There are some important configuration files you need to be aware of and potentially customize.

• /mnt/config/etc/writefreely.ini

Modifications to these files will require a service restart to pull in the changes made.

You can place any additional web files to be served here.

• /mnt/config/www/writefreely/*
