+# Deploying Tasking Manager using Docker Compose
+
+## Overview
+This guide is aimed at organisations who may want to deploy their own version of Tasking Manager (TM). It draws on experiences of deploying TM for the Ireland chapter of OpenStreetMap who use TM to organise the mapping of buildings in Ireland.
+The information here is focused on our deployment of TM using Docker. Our deployment was to an Ubuntu Virtual Machine in the Azure Cloud with the postgres database hosted on "Azure Database for PostgreSQL servers". These particulars are likely less important to anyone reading this guide but some adjustments may be necessary.
+
+## Requirements
+- A server (we are using Ubuntu 20.04) with public IP address
+- DNS entry pointing to your server IP (e.g. tasks.yourdomain.tld A 123.123.123.123)
+- SSH access to your server
+
+## Steps
+The steps below are for Ubuntu but you should be able to adapt for your preferred distribution. 
+
+### Install Pre-requisites
+
+```
+sudo apt install docker.io git curl wget python3
+```
+
+### Pull the Code
+Clone down the public repository:
+```
+cd /opt
+git clone https://github.com/hotosm/tasking-manager.git
+```
+
+### Code Changes
+In the docker setup we need to add the following two lines to the top of the `backend/__init__.py` file to avoid a [recursion bug](https://github.com/hotosm/tasking-manager/issues/5483). 
+
+```
+vi /opt/tasking-manager/backend/__init__.py
+```
+Lines to be prepended to the file:
+```
+import gevent
+gevent.monkey.patch_ssl()
+```
+You may need to rebuild the docker images if you make this change (details below).
+
+### Environment File
+Create or amend the file `/opt/tasking-manager/tasking-manager.env`
+An example is shown below:
+```

+```
+
+### Docker Compose
+The TM app is comprised of several components:
+- backend (Django)
+- frontend (React)
+- database
+- proxy (traefik)
+- migrations
+
+The containers for each of these components can be run via `docker-compose` as shown in the config file below. The Traefik service proxies requests from your HTTPS port to the backend or frontend services. Traefik as configured below will also provision an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt.
+
+Notes: 
+- You will need to build the container images before running `docker-compose up` 
+- I found it necessary to remove the file `docker-compose.override.yml`
+```
+rm docker-compose.override.yml
+```
+
+Next create or amend the `/opt/tasking-manager/docker-compose.yml` file. Example shown below:
+```
+version: "3.4"
+
+x-backend-config: &backend
+  image: hotosm-tasking-manager:backend
+  env_file: ${ENV_FILE:-tasking-manager.env}
+  depends_on:
+    - postgresql

+

+    restart: always
+    labels:

+    networks:
+      - tm-web
+
+networks:
+  tm-web:
+    external: true
+```
+
+#### Build the Images
+The TM container images are not on docker hub so you will need to build them before running the service:
+```
+cd /opt/tasking-manager
+/usr/bin/docker build -t hotosm-tasking-manager:frontend -f scripts/docker/Dockerfile.frontend .
+/usr/bin/docker build -t hotosm-tasking-manager:backend -f scripts/docker/Dockerfile.backend .
+```
+Create the docker network:
+```
+docker network create tm-web
+```
+#### Start the services
+
+```
+cd /opt/tasking-manager
+docker-compose up -d 
+```
+
+### Customising
+Some possible customisations to the frontend user interface include:
+- text (e.g. /opt/tasking-manager/frontend/src/locales/en.json), 
+- colors (e.g. /opt/tasking-manager/frontend/src/assets/styles/_variables.scss), or 
+- graphics (e.g. /opt/tasking-manager/frontend/src/assets/img/main-logo.svg)
+You will need to rebuild the container images and restart docker-compose (possibly using docker-compose up -d --build) after making customisation changes e.g.
+```
+cd /opt/tasking-manager
+/usr/bin/docker build -t hotosm-tasking-manager:frontend -f scripts/docker/Dockerfile.frontend .
+/usr/bin/docker build -t hotosm-tasking-manager:backend -f scripts/docker/Dockerfile.backend .
+docker-compose down
+docker-compose up -d --build
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Traefik
+If you suspect problems with the traefik configuration you can connect to the traefik UI using an SSH tunnel:
+```
+ssh -L 8080:localhost:8080 tasks.yourserver.tld
+```
+then open a web browser to http://127.0.0.1:8080
+
+### Docker Logs
+Check the container logs for problems:
+```
+cd /opt/tasking-manager
+docker-compose logs -f
+```
+
+### Database Migration
+Database migrations are normally performed by the docker-compose setup so the commands below may not apply to you. In our case we needed to upgrade from an older version and make database changes for the deployment to succeed. 
+Install Python libraries:
+```
+apt install libpq-dev python3-dotenv python3-flask-script python3-flask-migrate python3-flask-cors python3-requests-oauthlib python3-flask-restful python3-flask-mail python3-flask-httpauth python3-cachetools python3-markdown python3-pip python3-geojson python3-geoalchemy2 python3-bleach python3-shapely python3-slugify python3-psycopg2 python3-apscheduler
+```
+Install pip prerequisites:
+```
+pip3 install wheel schematics
+```
+Create and activate a python environment:
+```
+python3 -m venv env
+source ./env/bin/activate
+```
+Install TM prerequisites into environment via pip:
+```
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+We ran into issues with some values in our projects table where the field value of organisation_tag was OSMIRL. This conflicted with the existing tag of #osmIRL so we renamed occurences of OSMIRL to #osmIRL.
+
+Then perform the upgrade:
+```
+python3 manage.py db upgrade
+```
