Blynk Server

Blynk is the most popular mobile app for the IOT. Works with anything: ESP8266, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, SparkFun and others.

With this Docker image you can run your own private Blynk server without relying on the public Blynk cloud server.

Exposed ports

• 8080 - HTTP
• 9443 - HTTPS

Volumes

• /data - Storage of data
• /config - Custom configuration files

How to run

Simply start a container:

docker run cloudstek/blynk-server:latest

To forward IP ports from the host to the container, do this:

docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 9443:9443 cloudstek/blynk-server:latest

To persist data, mount a directory into the container on /data:

docker run -v $(PWD):/data cloudstek/blynk-server:latest

To include your own server.properties / mail.properties / sms.properties file(s), mount them into /config:

docker run -v $(PWD)/server.properties:/config/server.properties -v $(PWD)/server.properties:/config/mail.properties -v $(PWD)/server.properties:/config/sms.properties cloudstek/blynk-server:latest

Building the image

In case you want to modify and/or build the image yourself. Clone the repository and run:

docker build --pull .

This will pull the latest base image (Open JDK) and build the Blynk server image. To change the Blynk server version simply change the BLYNK_SERVER_VERSION env var:

docker build --pull --build-arg BLYNK_SERVER_VERSION=<BLYNK SERVER VERSION> .
