Step 3: Commands

Docker

docker compose up -d When issued the first time, sets up the database, creates the directories to hold content and certificates (in/srv/picinch/), and starts PicInch. On later invocations, checks for updates to PicInch, and restarts it if needed.

docker compose restart Restarts PicInch, reading any changes to configuration.yml and site-specific templates.

docker compose down Stops PicInch.

docker compose logs --tail=100 View the last e.g. 100 entries in application logs. Look here for any startup errors, as well as details of security threats.

Database

If you wish to delete all site content and start again, stop the server, delete /srv/picinch/mysql and /srv/picinch/photos, and restart the server.
