🚀 Quick Start: Publishing StreamFlow to Docker Hub

What I've Done

✅ Updated docker-compose.yml to use Docker Hub image (aiulian25/streamflow:latest)
✅ Created deployment guide (DOCKER_HUB_DEPLOYMENT.md)
✅ Created user installation guide (DOCKER_INSTALLATION.md)
✅ Created automated publish script (publish-docker.sh)
✅ Created GitHub Actions workflow for automated builds

Next Steps to Publish

Option 1: Manual Publishing (Quick Start)

1. Login to Docker Hub:

   docker login
   

2. Build and push the image:

   ./publish-docker.sh
   

   Or with a specific version:

   ./publish-docker.sh v1.0.0
   

3. Verify on Docker Hub: Visit: https://hub.docker.com/r/aiulian25/streamflow

Option 2: Automated Publishing via GitHub Actions

1. Create Docker Hub Access Token:

   • Go to https://hub.docker.com/settings/security
   • Click "New Access Token"
   • Name: github-actions
   • Permissions: Read, Write, Delete
   • Copy the token (you'll only see it once!)

2. Add Secrets to GitHub:

   • Go to https://github.com/aiulian25/streamflow/settings/secrets/actions
   • Click "New repository secret"
   • Add these secrets:
     • Name: DOCKER_HUB_USERNAME, Value: aiulian25
     • Name: DOCKER_HUB_TOKEN, Value: <paste your token>

3. Push to GitHub:

   git add .
   git commit -m "Configure Docker Hub deployment"
   git push origin main
   

4. Automatic builds will now run on:

   • Every push to main branch → builds latest tag
   • Every git tag (e.g., v1.0.0) → builds version tag

For Your Users

After publishing, users can install StreamFlow in 3 simple commands:

# 1. Download docker-compose.yml
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aiulian25/streamflow/main/docker-compose.yml

# 2. (Optional) Create environment file
cat > .env <<EOF
JWT_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 32)
SESSION_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 32)
ENABLE_GPU=false
EOF

# 3. Start the application
docker compose up -d

Then access at: http://localhost:12345

Update Your GitHub README

Add this badge to your README.md:

[![Docker Hub](https://img.shields.io/docker/v/aiulian25/streamflow?label=Docker%20Hub&logo=docker)](https://hub.docker.com/r/aiulian25/streamflow)
[![Docker Pulls](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/aiulian25/streamflow)](https://hub.docker.com/r/aiulian25/streamflow)

Add installation instructions:

## Quick Start

```bash
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aiulian25/streamflow/main/docker-compose.yml
docker compose up -d

Access at http://localhost:12345

See DOCKER_INSTALLATION.md for detailed instructions.

## Testing the Published Image

```bash
# Pull the image
docker pull aiulian25/streamflow:latest

# Test run
docker run -d -p 12345:12345 -p 9000:9000 aiulian25/streamflow:latest

# Check if running
docker ps

# View logs
docker logs <container_id>

# Clean up test
docker stop <container_id>
docker rm <container_id>

Maintenance

Publishing a New Version

# Tag your release
git tag -a v1.0.1 -m "Release v1.0.1"
git push origin v1.0.1

# Or manually:
./publish-docker.sh v1.0.1

Users Update to Latest Version

docker compose pull
docker compose up -d

Files Created

1. DOCKER_HUB_DEPLOYMENT.md - Complete deployment guide for you
2. DOCKER_INSTALLATION.md - User-friendly installation guide
3. publish-docker.sh - Automated build and push script
4. .github/workflows/docker-publish.yml - GitHub Actions workflow
5. docker-compose.yml - Updated to use Docker Hub image

Multi-Architecture Support (Optional)

To support both AMD64 and ARM64 (Raspberry Pi, Apple Silicon):

# Create builder
docker buildx create --name mybuilder --use

# Build for multiple platforms
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \
  -t aiulian25/streamflow:latest \
  --push .

GitHub Actions workflow already supports multi-arch builds!

Summary

Your StreamFlow application is now ready for easy deployment! Users will be able to:

1. Download one file (docker-compose.yml)
2. Run docker compose up -d
3. Access the application instantly
4. Login with default credentials:
   • Username: admin
   • Password: admin
   • Change password on first login!

No complex builds, no dependencies, just pull and run! 🎉
