Running Joomla in Docker is a great way to improve your infrastructure and deployments. Docker allows you to package your application and dependencies into a single image, and run it as a container on a remote host.
This means that you can easily redeploy your application with minimal disruption, and isolate it from your host’s operating system.
To run Joomla in Docker, you first need to create a Dockerfile and build it. The following example shows how to create a Dockerfile to install and run Joomla:
FROM Joomla:3.6.0-alpine AS build WORKDIR /usr/src/ COPY . /usr/src/ RUN apk add –update \ ca-certificates \ curl \ git \ Joomla-doc-3.0 COPY -R Joomla-3.
0-alpine /usr/src/ RUN chmod +x /usr/src/Joomla-3.0/bin/install.sh ENTRYPOINT [“/usr/src/Joomla-3.sh”].
To run Joomla in Docker, you first need to build the Dockerfile. After you have built the Dockerfile, you can run the container using the following command:
docker run -p 8081:8081 -d -p 80:80 Joomla/3.0-alpine
The -p 8081:8081 and -p 80:80 flags tell the Docker container to bind to ports 8081 and 80, respectively. The -d flag tells the Docker container to run in the background.
The -p 80:80 flag tells the Docker container to use the host’s port 80 instead of port 8081.
You can also use the docker run -t flag to start the container in the foreground:
docker run -t -p 8081:8081 -d -p 80:80 Joomla/3.0-alpine
The -p 8081:8081 and -p 80:80 flags are optional; you can also use the –name flag to name the container:
docker run -p 8081:8081 -d -p 80:80 –name my-Joomla Joomla/3.0-alpine
The –name flag is also optional; you can use the -p 8081:8081 and –publish flags to bind to ports 8081 and 80, respectively, and publish them to the host so that other containers can access them:
docker run -p 8081:8081 -d -p 80:80 –publish 80:80 Joomla/3.0-alpine
You can also use the -p flag to bind to a port other than 80 or 8081:
docker run -p 9090:9090 -d -p 9091:9091 -p 8081:8081 Joomla/3.0-alpine
If you want to run multiple Joomla containers at the same time, you can use the -p flag toBind to multiple ports:
docker run -p 8081:8081 -p 9090:9090 -d -p 9091:9091 -p 80:80 Joomla/3.0-alpine
You can also use the –name flag to name the containers:
docker run -p 8081:8081 -p 9090:9090 -d -p 9091:9091 -p my-Joomla Joomla/3.0-alpine
The -p 8081:8081 and -p 9090:9090 flags are optional; you can also use the –name flag to name the containers:
docker run -p 8081:8081 -p 9090:9090 -d -p 9091:9091 -p my-Joomla –name my-container Joomla/3.0-alpine
To stop the container, use the following command:
docker stop my-Joomla
To see the logs for the container, use the following command:
docker logs my-Joomla
To remove the container, use the following command:
docker rm my-Joomla
To list all the containers on the host, use the following command:
docker ps
The following is a sample output from the docker ps command:
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES my-Joomla.
