## Local setup (Windows + Docker)
For a self-contained local deployment of Forgejo + ifcurl on Windows using Docker, see [SETUP_LOCAL.md](SETUP_LOCAL.md).
---
## Prerequisites
- ifcurl API service + render service running (see [Running the preview service](#running-the-preview-service))

# ifcurl + Forgejo Local Setup (Windows + Docker)
## Prerequisites
- Windows 10
- [Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/) installed and running
- Git
- The ifcurl repository cloned locally (e.g. `D:\Dropbox\GitHub\ifcurl`)
---
## Directory structure
```
C:\forgejo-local\
docker-compose.yml
nginx.conf
custom\
public\assets\ ← viewer.html, ifcurl.js, etc.
templates\custom\ ← footer.tmpl
D:\Dropbox\GitHub\ifcurl\
docker\
Dockerfile ← already in the repo
```
---
## Step 1 — Deploy ifcurl assets to the custom directory
Run from the ifcurl repo root in Git Bash:
```bash
DEST="C:/forgejo-local/custom"
mkdir -p "$DEST/public/assets" "$DEST/templates/custom"
cp forgejo/custom/public/assets/viewer.html "$DEST/public/assets/"
cp forgejo/custom/public/assets/viewer.js "$DEST/public/assets/"
cp forgejo/custom/public/assets/viewer-url.js "$DEST/public/assets/"
cp forgejo/custom/public/assets/viewer-deps.js "$DEST/public/assets/"
cp forgejo/custom/public/assets/fragments-worker.js "$DEST/public/assets/"
cp forgejo/custom/public/assets/web-ifc.wasm "$DEST/public/assets/"
cp forgejo/custom/public/assets/web-ifc-mt.wasm "$DEST/public/assets/"
cp forgejo/custom/public/assets/ifcurl.js "$DEST/public/assets/"
cp forgejo/templates/custom/footer.tmpl "$DEST/templates/custom/"
```
> **Git Bash note:** when assigning shell variables, do NOT use a `$` prefix —
> use `DEST="..."` not `$DEST="..."`.
---
## Step 2 — Create `C:\forgejo-local\docker-compose.yml`
Nginx sits in front of Forgejo and proxies the ifcurl service endpoints
(`/preview`, `/render_diff`, `/bcf`, `/select`) at the same origin as Forgejo.
This is required for PR diff images, which are fetched by the browser.
> **Note:** Forgejo's Docker image stores all data under `/data/gitea`, not
> `/var/lib/forgejo` as older guides suggest.
```yaml
services:
nginx:
image: nginx:alpine
container_name: nginx
ports:
- "3000:80"
volumes:
- ./nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf:ro
depends_on:
- forgejo
- ifcurl
restart: unless-stopped
forgejo:
image: codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo:15
container_name: forgejo
environment:
- USER_UID=1000
- USER_GID=1000
ports:
- "2222:22"
volumes:
- forgejo-data:/data/gitea
- ./custom/public:/data/gitea/public
- ./custom/templates:/data/gitea/templates
depends_on:
- ifcurl
restart: unless-stopped
ifcurl:
build:
context: D:/Dropbox/GitHub/ifcurl
dockerfile: docker/Dockerfile
container_name: ifcurl
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
forgejo-data:
```
---
## Step 3 — Create `C:\forgejo-local\nginx.conf`
```nginx
server {
listen 80;
location /preview {
proxy_pass http://ifcurl:8000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_read_timeout 120s;
}
location /render_diff {
proxy_pass http://ifcurl:8000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_read_timeout 120s;
}
location /bcf {
proxy_pass http://ifcurl:8000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_read_timeout 120s;
}
location /select {
proxy_pass http://ifcurl:8000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_read_timeout 120s;
}
location / {
proxy_pass http://forgejo:3000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_read_timeout 300s;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}
}
```

## Step 4 — Dockerfile (already in repo, shown for reference)
`docker/Dockerfile` is committed to the ifcurl repository. Key points:
- `libosmesa6` provides software OpenGL for headless rendering inside the
container (no GPU or display server required).
- The `git config url.insteadOf` rewrite lets the ifcurl service clone repos
from `localhost:3000` (as it appears in `ifc://` URLs) by transparently
redirecting git to `forgejo:3000` inside the Docker network.
```dockerfile
FROM python:3.12-slim
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
git libgl1 libglib2.0-0 libosmesa6 \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir ".[service]"
# Remap localhost:3000 → forgejo:3000 so git can clone from the Forgejo
# container by its Docker-internal hostname when processing ifc:// URLs.
RUN git config --global url."http://forgejo:3000/".insteadOf "http://localhost:3000/"
EXPOSE 8000
CMD ["ifcurl", "serve", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "8000", "--allowed-hosts", "localhost:3000"]
```
---
## Step 5 — Start everything
Make sure Docker Desktop is running, then:
```bash
cd C:/forgejo-local
docker compose up -d
```
The first run pulls the Forgejo and Nginx images and builds the ifcurl image —
this may take several minutes.
Open `http://localhost:3000` and complete the Forgejo setup wizard.
---
## Step 6 — Add ifcurl config to Forgejo
The setup wizard writes its own `app.ini` inside the container. After
completing the wizard, append the ifcurl setting and restart:
```bash
MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 docker exec forgejo sh -c 'printf "\n[ifcurl]\nPREVIEW_SERVICE_URL = http://ifcurl:8000\n" >> /data/gitea/conf/app.ini'
docker compose restart forgejo
```
---
## Verify the setup
Check that Forgejo is serving the ifcurl assets:
```
http://localhost:3000/assets/ifcurl.js
```
You should see JavaScript, not a 404.
---
## What works
| Feature | Works? |
|---|---|
| "View in 3D" button on `.ifc` files | Yes |
| Browser WebGL viewer | Yes |
| PR diff 3D renders (green=added, red=removed) | Yes |
| `[label](ifc://...)` links in markdown → inline preview | Yes |
| CLI rendering (`ifcurl render "ifc://..."`) | Yes |
| Bare `ifc://...` text in markdown | No — needs Go patch + Forgejo rebuild |
For normal workflows, use `[label](ifc://...)` link syntax — the viewer's
**Issue** button generates this format automatically.
---
## Testing the diff render
To see a diff render on a commit page:
1. Push an `.ifc` file to a Forgejo repo
2. Modify the file (move geometry, add/remove elements) and push a second commit
3. Open the second commit's page in Forgejo — the diff section for the `.ifc`
file shows a rendered PNG with added geometry in green and removed in red
4. Click the image to open the interactive viewer at that commit's viewpoint
---
## Useful commands
```bash
# View logs for all services
docker compose logs -f
# View ifcurl logs only
docker compose logs ifcurl
# Stop everything
docker compose down
# Rebuild ifcurl image after code changes
docker compose build ifcurl
docker compose up -d
```
---
## Tips
- **Model not visible in viewer?** Click the **fit** button in the toolbar to
fit the camera to the model bounds.
- **Git Bash path mangling:** prefix `docker exec` commands that use Linux
paths with `MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1`.
- Forgejo data (repos, users, settings) is stored in the `forgejo-data` named
Docker volume and persists across container restarts. It is lost if you
remove the volume (`docker compose down -v`).
- The ifcurl service clones remote git repos as bare repos into the container's
cache on first use. Mutable refs (`@heads/`, `@HEAD`) trigger a `git fetch`
on each request; immutable refs (commit hashes, tags) use the cache as-is.
- The Go patch in the ifcurl repo was written against Forgejo v13.0. As of
this writing the latest release is v15.0.0. The patch is optional and only
needed for bare `ifc://` URL rendering in markdown.
