InstaPy-Docker 🐳

Table of contents


Prerequisite

If you previously ran InstaPy the classical way you have to mount InstaPy logs folder, which is by default saved in your home directory ~/InstaPy, into the container otherwise you will loose all your previous data like blacklist, log files, accounts followed, accouants unfollowed.

  • Copy the quickstart example file named docker_quickstart.py from docker-compose
  • Edit the file docker_quicktart.py to personalize how InstaPy will interact. All functions are the same than with the classic installation mode. If you are new to InstaPy, we strongly suggest to have a look to InstaPy documentation to fully understand this file and how to modify it. Keep in mind all InstaPy functions should start with bot. when running with Docker.

Start InstaPy container

docker pull instapy/instapy:latest && \
docker run --name instapy \
  -v /absolute_path_to_file/docker_quickstart.py:/code/docker_quickstart.py \
  -v /absolute_path_to_file/InstaPy:/code/InstaPy \
  -d instapy/instapy:latest

Example:

docker pull instapy/instapy:latest && \
docker run --name instapy \
  -v /home/myuser/docker_quickstart.py:/code/docker_quickstart.py \
  -v /home/myuser/InstaPy:/code/InstaPy \
  -d instapy/instapy:latest

Stop InstaPy container

docker stop instapy

Remove InstaPy container

Make sure the container is already stopped or first stop it the above command, then run

docker rm instapy

Display InstaPy output logs

Use one of the two following commands

docker logs -f instapy

docker logs --tail 50 -f $(docker ps -a | grep instapy | cut -d " " -f 1)

Deploy specific version of InstaPy

By default, you will use the latest version of InstaPy. For some reasons, if you want to run a specific version you could with adapting the starting command (see above) by replacing tag latest with the desire released version of InstaPy.

It will then start a container of InstaPy with the corresponding version. Please be aware breaking chanes may exist between version and refers to the changelog of InstaPy to adapt your quickstart file.
