Joomla!

This is the octoleo images of Joomla! maintained by @llewellynvdm mostly to try out new ideas, you are welcome to give them a try. Feedback is also welcome ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

This is not a stable place, as I plan to try out new ideas for the official Joomla-Docker images here.

Docker Compose

setup docker compose

Setup Traefik

I usually add traefik as my revers proxy to its own docker-compose.yml file in its own folder like: /home/username/Docker/traefik

version: "3.3"

services:
  traefik:
    container_name: traefik
    image: "traefik:latest"
    command:
      - --entrypoints.web.address=:80
      - --entrypoints.websecure.address=:443
#      - --api.dashboard=true
#      - --api.insecure=true
      - --providers.docker
      - --log.level=ERROR
      - --certificatesresolvers.octoleoresolver.acme.httpchallenge=true
      # change this email address to your own
      - --certificatesresolvers.octoleoresolver.acme.email=joomla@yourdomain.com
      - --certificatesresolvers.octoleoresolver.acme.storage=/acme.json
      - --certificatesresolvers.octoleoresolver.acme.httpchallenge.entrypoint=web
      - --providers.file.directory=/conf
      - --providers.file.watch=true
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"
    volumes:
      - "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro"
      # You must create these paths before the : on the host system
      - "/home/username/Docker/traefik/conf:/conf"
      - "/home/username/Docker/traefik/acme.json:/acme.json"
      - "/home/username/Docker/traefik/errors:/errors"
    labels:
      # settings for all containers
      - "traefik.http.routers.http-catchall.rule=hostregexp(`{host:.+}`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.http-catchall.entrypoints=web"
      - "traefik.http.routers.http-catchall.middlewares=redirect-to-https"
      - "traefik.http.middlewares.redirect-to-https.redirectscheme.scheme=https"
    networks:
      - traefik

networks:
  traefik:
    external:
      name: traefik_webgateway

Then run the following command in the folder where you placed the docker-compose.yml file:

docker-compose up -d

Setup Joomla

Here I will just setup Joomla v3.10, but you can just change the version with any of the following tags:

• joomla:4.0
• joomla:3.10
• joomla:3.9

The following setup is usually placed in its own docker-compose.yml file in its own folder like: /home/username/Docker/websitename

version: '2'
services:
  mariadb_websitename:
    image: mariadb:latest
    container_name: mariadb_websitename
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - MARIADB_USER=octoleo
      - MARIADB_DATABASE=octoleo
      - MARIADB_PASSWORD=XXXXXXXXXXXXX
      - MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    volumes:
      # to make your files persistent and acceptable on the host system
      - '/home/username/Projects/websitename/db:/var/lib/mysql'
    networks:
      - traefik

  joomla_websitename:
    image: llewellyn/joomla:3.10
    container_name: joomla_websitename
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - JOOMLA_DB_HOST=mariadb_websitename:3306
      - JOOMLA_DB_USER=octoleo
      - JOOMLA_DB_NAME=octoleo
      - JOOMLA_DB_PASSWORD=XXXXXXXXXXXXX
    depends_on:
      - mariadb_websitename
    volumes:
      # to make your files persistent and acceptable on the host system
      - '/home/username/Projects/websitename/website:/var/www/html'
    networks:
      - traefik
    labels:
      # joomla
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      # the website domain pointing to this server
      - "traefik.http.routers.joomla_websitename.rule=Host(`octoleo.yourdomain.com`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.joomla_websitename.entrypoints=websecure"
      - "traefik.http.services.joomla_websitename.loadbalancer.server.port=80"
      - "traefik.http.routers.joomla_websitename.service=joomla_websitename"
      - "traefik.http.routers.joomla_websitename.tls.certresolver=octoleoresolver"\

  # only if you would like to access the DB via phpmyadmin
  # else you can remove this and all will still work
  phpmyadmin_websitename:
    image: phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin
    container_name: phpmyadmin_websitename
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      PMA_HOST: mariadb_websitename
      PMA_PORT: 3306
      UPLOAD_LIMIT: 300M
    depends_on:
      - mariadb_websitename
    networks:
      - traefik
    labels:
      # joomla
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      # the database domain pointing to this server
      - "traefik.http.routers.phpmyadmin_websitename.rule=Host(`octoleo-db.yourdomain.com`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.phpmyadmin_websitename.entrypoints=websecure"
      - "traefik.http.services.phpmyadmin_websitename.loadbalancer.server.port=80"
      - "traefik.http.routers.phpmyadmin_websitename.service=phpmyadmin_websitename"
      - "traefik.http.routers.phpmyadmin_websitename.tls.certresolver=octoleoresolver"

networks:
  traefik:
    external:
      name: traefik_webgateway

Then run the following command in the folder where you placed the docker-compose.yml file:

docker-compose up -d

Usecase

I often like to run a few Joomla instance (docker containers) on the same server, and be able to access them easy without the pain of configuring proxy stuff, setup SSL or any other tedious configurations.

• So I use Cloudflare to point my domain as wildcard to my server:
• Then I create two main folder on the host system in my user directory Docker and Projects.
• The Docker folder is used to store each project's docker-compose.yml file in its own sub folder.
• The Projects' folder is used whenever I want the project to have persistent and/or acceptable files on the host system.

The above Traefik configurations needs only be done once. But you can add as many Joomla containers as you like, just update the websitename placeholder in the docker-compose.yml configurations then place this new docker-compose.yml in a sub folder (websitename) inside the Docker folder, and run docker-compose up -d inside this sub folder.

Then give it a moment to get everything ready... and when you open your domain, the ssl should already be active, and Joomla ready to install via the browser.

Have Fun!!
