Running MediaCat in Docker

To run MediaCat in Docker, follow these steps:

1. Create a working directory and pull down the repository.

2. Build the docker image by running:

   docker build -t zstall/mediacat-flask-app:latest .

3. Start the Docker containers by running:

   docker compose up -d

4. Once the containers are running, open a browser and go to localhost:5000 and click on the login link:

   

   Fill in the username with admin and create a password, then click REGISTER:

   

5. You have now created a user, and need to populate mediacat with some data. To do this, scroll down where it says "Welcome Admin" and in the walk dir field add::

   /mediacatapp/test/

   

6. That will walk a test directory with some image and files, refresh the browser by click HOME in the nav bar:

   

7. Congrats, Mediacat is now up and running!
