Elk alpha
DESCRIPTION
A nimble Mastodon web client. In order to host Elk yourself you can use the provided Dockerfile to build a container with Elk. Be aware, that Elk only loads properly if the connection is done via SSL/TLS. The Docker container itself does not provide any SSL/TLS handling. You'll have to add this bit yourself. One could put Elk behind popular reverse proxies with SSL Handling like Traefik, NGINX, etc. The provided Dockerfile creates a container that will eventually run Elk as a non-root user and create a persistent named Docker volume upon first start (if that volume does not yet exist). This volume is always created with root permission. Failing to change the permissions of /elk/data inside this volume to UID: GID 911 (as specified for Elk in the Dockerfile) will prevent Elk from storing its config for user accounts. You either have to fix the permission in the created named volume, or mount a directory with the correct permission to /elk/data into the container.
