Install Shiori Inside Docker Container in Linux

Shiori is a web-based application to save links to websites. It also supports an archive feature, which allows users to save a copy of the webpage content for offline viewing.

This tutorial explains how to install Shiori inside a Docker container in the Linux. Commands have been tested on Ubuntu.

Prepare environment

Make sure you have installed Docker in your system. If you are using Ubuntu, installation instructions can be found in the post.

Install Shiori

Before starting, create directory for data:

sudo mkdir -p /opt/shiori/data

Set user, which ID is 1000 as owner for newly created directory:

sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /opt/shiori

Note: it doesn't matter that user (ID: 1000) doesn't exist on host system. This user will be created in the container.

• Host network

Run the following command to create a container for Shiori that uses host network:

docker run -d --name=shiori --restart=always --network=host \
    -v /opt/shiori/data:/shiori \
    ghcr.io/go-shiori/shiori

• User-defined bridge network

User-defined bridge network can be used for listening on different port. By default, Shiori service is listening on port 8080. It can be changed with -p option.

docker network create app-net

docker run -d --name=shiori --restart=always --network=app-net \
    -p 8081:8080 \
    -v /opt/shiori/data:/shiori \
    ghcr.io/go-shiori/shiori

Testing Shiori

Open a web browser and go to http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080, where <IP_ADDRESS> is the IP address of the system. Log in to the web interface with the default username (shiori) and password (gopher).

Uninstall Shiori

To completely remove Shiori, remove its container:

docker rm --force shiori

Remove Shiori image:

docker rmi ghcr.io/go-shiori/shiori

You can also remove Shiori data:

sudo rm -rf /opt/shiori

If a user-defined bridge network was created, you can delete it as follows:

docker network rm app-net
