[Some things changed](https://docs.miniflux.net/en/latest/migration.html) when Miniflux 2.0 was released. For one thing, the only supported database is now postgresql (_no more SQLite_). External themes are gone, as is PHP (_in favor of golang_). It's been a controversial change, but I'm keen on minimal and single-purpose, so I'm still very happy with the direction of development. The developer has laid out his [opinions](https://docs.miniflux.net/en/latest/opinionated.html) re the decisions he's made in the course of development.

## Ingredients
|
||||
|
||||
1. [Docker swarm cluster](/ha-docker-swarm/design/) with [persistent shared storage](/ha-docker-swarm/shared-storage-ceph.md)
|
||||
2. [Traefik](/ha-docker-swarm/traefik) configured per design
|
||||
3. DNS entry pointing your Miniflux url (i.e. _miniflux.example.com_) to your [keepalived](ha-docker-swarm/keepalived/) IP

Create the location for the bind-mount of the application data, so that it's persistent:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
mkdir -p /var/data/miniflux
|
||||
mkdir -p /var/data/miniflux/database-dump
|
||||
mkdir -p /var/data/runtime/miniflux/database
|

|

```
|

### Setup environment
|
||||
|
||||
Create ```/var/data/config/miniflux/miniflux.env``` something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
DATABASE_URL=postgres://miniflux:secret@db/miniflux?sslmode=disable
|
||||
POSTGRES_USER=miniflux
|
||||
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=secret
|
||||
|

# This is necessary for the miniflux to update the db schema, even on an empty DB
|
||||
RUN_MIGRATIONS=1
|
||||
|
||||
# Uncomment this on first run, else leave it commented out after adding your own user account

CREATE_ADMIN=1

ADMIN_USERNAME=admin

||||
ADMIN_PASSWORD=test1234
|
||||
|
||||
# For backups
|
||||
PGUSER=miniflux
|
||||
PGPASSWORD=secret
|
||||
PGHOST=db
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The entire application is configured using environment variables, including the initial username. Once you've successfully deployed once, comment out ```CREATE_ADMIN``` and the two successive lines.

## Chef's Notes

|
||||
1. I chose [saghul/miniflux](https://hub.docker.com/r/saghul/miniflux/)'s over the "official" [miniflux/miniflux](https://hub.docker.com/r/miniflux/miniflux/) image, because currently the official image doesn't log to stdout (which you want, for docker logging commands), and because I have an expectation that nginx is more lightweight (faster) than apache.
