[GUIDE] Run bot and web interface inside docker container

[mangunowsky]

Hello all,

I've created dockerized bot + web interface to use for myself, but I'm happy to share it with you guys. This solution is perfect for people struggling to get bot + web up and running, my script simplifies this process to minimum.

First of all thanks to MFBot team for creating such awesome tool and for Bendas for helping me to sort out how to get web interface running. Bendas original topic - viewtopic.php?t=3087.

Prerequisites

To run docker container you'd obviously need Docker installed on your system.
For this please refer to Docker's documentation. https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/

To clone my repo you need git. https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting- ... alling-Git

Installation.
Prepare Acc.ini file on MFBot's Windows version. Go to the Settings > Network > Remote Access. Enable remote access - set IP to 127.0.0.1 and choose suitable port number, in my case it's 6969.

1. Clone repo

   Code: Alles auswählen

   git clone https://github.com/mangunowsky/MFBotDocker.git

2. Paste Acc.ini file into main repo folder
3. Build Docker image

   Code: Alles auswählen

   docker build -t mfbot -f Dockerfile .

4. Run Docker container

   Code: Alles auswählen

   docker run -dit mfbot

5. Get containers IP address

   Code: Alles auswählen

   docker inspect -f '{{range.NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' <container ID>

6. Open web interface in you browser. User and password is "admin" by default.

   Code: Alles auswählen

   http://<container IP>:8050

7. Happy boting!

Changing web interface listening port.

To change port on which web interface is listeing you need to edit globalVariables.py file located in Web/Functions/

Code: Alles auswählen

ADRESS = 'http://127.0.0.1:6969/' - change port to one set in Remote Access settings

Code: Alles auswählen

serverPort = 8050 - Web interface will be available at this port

I hope you'd find this guide useful. I'm happy to help in case of any questions.

Hi!

I'm sorry for my dumb question...

I was trying to set everything like you said, but i can't access the web interface.



So i feel like it's running but i don't know how to find it... Tried port 8050, 8449, ... but the browser says ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT. Could you please help?

Did you open the ports tcp connections?

[Bendas]

Did you open the ports tcp connections?

You mean TCP ports 8449, 8050? Did i something wrong?

I mean like why is there no port?

EDIT: I forgot that it's port 8443 not 8449 but it's still the same.

[neuhier]

whats the firewall software u use on ur linux machine ?

find that out and allow tcp connection for the ports

[Bendas]

Well i don't think there is firewall...

Code: Alles auswählen

bendas@server:~$ sudo ufw status verbose
Status: inactive

I'm using the Linux Server Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS

[neuhier]

hm well then out of luck, that was my issue. gotta wait for the guide owner then.

[Bendas]

So Yeah i managed to make it work. Thanks to GitHub https://github.com/mangunowsky/MFBotDocker

The problem was:

"To get the webinterface working I had to map the port to my local ip via:

Code: Alles auswählen

docker run -p ip_adress:8050:8050 -dit mfbot

Now everything works really well! Thank you all!
