iitgdocker/magento repository overview

⁠Docker Image for Magento 1.x

I was asked to install magento on a host and decided to run it via docker. The existing magento containers didn't suit my needs 100% so i made one. This image is a CentOS 7 based container which contains slightly more secure versions of Apache 2.4.6, openssl and PHP 5.6 w/ suhosin patch. Magento comes pre-installed but requires a seperate database in order to install correctly.

⁠Notes

The dockerfile is based on the actual installation guide/requirements on the magento website implemented on the back of a hardened apache container running php 5.6. It's also partially based on Alex Chengs' Magento 1.9.x image.

⁠Supported Magento versions

⁠Getting Started

There's two ways to get up and running, the easy way and the hard way.

⁠The Hard Way (Standalone)

Start mysql (and redis if your using it) first

docker run -d --name percona-server -p 3306:3306 -v /data/percona/mysql:/var/lib/mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password -e MYSQL_DATABASE=magento -e MYSQL_USER=magento -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=password percona/percona-server:5.6.28
docker run -d --name redis -p 6379:6379 redis:3.2.4

Fire up magento

docker run -d --name magento -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v /data/magento/etc:/var/www/html/app/etc -v /data/magento/ssl:/etc/httpd/ssl iitgdocker/magento:1.9.2.4

⁠The Easy Way (Docker Compose)

The github repo contains a docker-compose.yml you can use as a base. The docker-compose.yml is compatible with docker-compose 1.5.2+.

web-server:
  image: iitgdocker/magento:1.9.2.4
  ports:
    - "80:80"
    #- "443:443"
  links:
    - percona-server
    #- redis
  volumes:
#    - /data/magento/etc:/var/www/html/app/etc
    - /data/magento/ssl:/etc/httpd/ssl
  environment:
#    - MAGENTO_LOCALE=en_AU
#    - MAGENTO_TIMEZONE=Australia/Sydney
#    - MAGENTO_DEFAULT_CURRENCY=AUD
#    - MAGENTO_URL=http://www.mystore.com
#    - MYSQL_HOST=percona-server
#    - MYSQL_DATABASE=magento
#    - MYSQL_USER=magento
#    - MYSQL_PASSWORD=password
#    - MAGENTO_ADMIN_FIRSTNAME=MyStore
#    - MAGENTO_ADMIN_LASTNAME=Admin
#    - [email protected]
#    - MAGENTO_ADMIN_USERNAME=mystoreadmin
#    - MAGENTO_ADMIN_PASSWORD=>q34gw7wKU>CPp6.
#redis:
#  image: redis:3.2.4
#  ports:
#    - "6379:6379"
percona-server:
  image: percona/percona-server:5.6.28
  entrypoint:
    - /entrypoint.sh
    #- --explicit_defaults_for_timestamp=1
  ports:
    - "3306:3306"
  environment:
    - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password
    - MYSQL_DATABASE=magento
    - MYSQL_USER=magento
    - MYSQL_PASSWORD=password
  volumes:
    - /data/percona/mysql:/var/lib/mysql

By running 'docker-compose up -d' from within the same directory as your docker-compose.yml, you'll be able to bring the container up.

⁠Volumes

⁠Apache configuration

Since this image is built on the back of the iitgdocker/apache image, you should take a look at that for Apache specific configuration.

⁠Magento configuration

I've been tossing up whether to use environment variables a la Alex Cheng albeit with the run script making the changes or use a mounted volume. I still haven't decided so in the meantime, i've just been using a mounted volume.

⁠Environment variables

Other than the standard mysql container environment variables which can be better explained on their respective docker pages, there aren't any to note (yet).

The run.sh script requires all of these variables to be set before it will run the install.php script. If you don't have these set, you'll be forced to use the web installation wizard on first run.
