Azure container instance

To deploy UI Bakery to an Azure container instance, follow these steps:

1. Login docker to Azure.

docker login azure

2. Create a docker context.

docker context create aci uibakery

3. Use new context.

docker context use uibakery

4. Clone ui bakery self-hosted repository.

git clone https://github.com/uibakery/self-hosted.git && cd self-hosted

5. UI Bakery requires db to persist its data. So it's necessary to create one. We suggest you use Azure Database for MySQL.

6. Set UI_BAKERY_LICENSE_KEY variable in docker-compose-azure-container-instances.yml for bakery-back service.

UI_BAKERY_LICENSE_KEY=${UI_BAKERY_LICENSE_KEY:-eyJhbGciOiJIUz}

7. Set UI_BAKERY_DB_* variables in docker-compose-azure-container-instances.yml for bakery-back service.

UI_BAKERY_DB_HOST=${UI_BAKERY_DB_HOST:-azure-container-instance-test-db.mysql.database.azure.com}
UI_BAKERY_DB_PORT=${UI_BAKERY_DB_PORT:-3306}
UI_BAKERY_DB_DATABASE=${UI_BAKERY_DB_DATABASE:-bakery}
UI_BAKERY_DB_USERNAME=${UI_BAKERY_DB_USERNAME:-uibakeryuser@azure-container-instance-db}
UI_BAKERY_DB_PASSWORD=${UI_BAKERY_DB_PASSWORD:-uibakerypassword}

8. Up the Azure container instance.

docker compose -f docker-compose-azure-container-instances.yml up

9. Find the assigned IP address. Run docker ps and in column PORTS you'll find the assigned IP address.

10. Replace all occurrences of UI_BAKERY_APP_SERVER_NAME with the IP address retrieved in the previous step.

UI_BAKERY_APP_SERVER_NAME=https://123.123.123.123

11. Restart the instance to apply the new configuration.

docker compose -f docker-compose-azure-container-instances.yml up
