How to Enable Gzip Compression in Bold BI Docker Container
This article provides a step-by-step guide to enable Gzip compression in the Bold BI Docker container. Gzip compression can significantly reduce the size of transmitted data, improving load times and overall performance.
Steps to Enable Gzip
Step 1: Open the Docker Compose File
To begin, you need to open the docker-compose.yml file. You can do this by using the following command in your terminal:
nano docker-compose.yml
Step 2: Add Volume Configuration
Next, you will need to add the volume configuration to the docker-compose.yml file. Insert the following lines under the appropriate volumes service section:
volumes:
- boldbi_data:/application/app_data
- boldbi_nginx:/etc/nginx/sites-available/
Additionally, ensure that the volumes section at the bottom of the file includes the following:
volumes:
boldbi_data:
db_data:
boldbi_nginx:
Step 3: Run the Docker Compose File
After saving your changes to the docker-compose.yml file, you can run the Docker Compose setup with the following command:
docker-compose up -d; docker-compose logs -f boldbi
This command will start the services defined in your Docker Compose file and display the logs for the BoldBI service.
Step 4: Log into the Bold BI Docker Container
To begin, access the Bold BI Docker container using the following command:
sudo docker exec -it boldbi /bin/bash
Step 5: Move to the Nginx Configuration Directory
Navigate to the Nginx configuration directory with the following command:
cd /etc/nginx/sites-available/
Step 6: Open the Nginx Configuration File
Open the boldbi-nginx-config file for editing. You can use nano text editor available in the container.
nano boldbi-nginx-config
Step 7: Add Gzip Configuration
Add the following lines to the boldbi-nginx-config file to enable Gzip compression:
gzip on;
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
Step 8: Verify Gzip is Enabled
After saving the changes, you can check the Bold BI site to confirm that Gzip compression is now enabled.
