SMF Docker

So, there are some great Docker images like Wordpess, and bitnami/phpbb.

Why not make a similar solution for SMF? Let's try :)

This is a Docker image for testing the latest stable version of SMF.

Это образ Docker для тестирования текущей стабильной версии SMF.

Requirements

• Docker Desktop
• Docker Compose

Environments

See .env file.

How to change PHP version

• Change PHP_VERSION in .env file
• Run docker compose build php-fpm
• Run docker compose down
• Run docker compose up -d

How to run and stop

Apache (default)

docker compose up -d

docker compose down

Nginx

docker compose -f nginx.yaml up -d

docker compose -f nginx.yaml down

Hosts within your environment

Use the following information to install/configure your SMF:

Service	Hostname	Port number
MySQL	mysql	3306 (default)
MariaDB	mariadb	3306 (default)
Postgres	postgres	5432 (default)
Memcached	memcached	11211 (default)
Redis	redis	6379 (default)
FTP	ftp	21 (default)

Login/pass by default - user/pass.

Persisting your application

If you remove the container all your data will be lost, and the next time you run the image the database will be reinitialized. To avoid this loss of data, you should mount a volume that will persist even after the container is removed.

For persistence you should mount a directory at the /app path. If the mounted directory is empty, it will be initialized on the first run. Additionally you should mount a volume for persistence of the MariaDB or PostgreSQL data.

To avoid inadvertent removal of volumes, you can mount host directories as data volumes. Alternatively you can make use of volume plugins to host the volume data.

Backup databases

MySQL/MariaDB:

Export:

docker exec mariadb sh -c 'exec mysqldump "$MYSQL_DATABASE" -u"$MYSQL_USER" -p"$MYSQL_PASSWORD"' > mysql_databases.sql

Import:

docker exec -i mariadb sh -c 'exec mysql "$MYSQL_DATABASE" -u"$MYSQL_USER" -p"$MYSQL_PASSWORD"' < mysql_databases.sql

PostgreSQL

Export:

docker exec postgres sh -c 'exec pg_dump "$POSTGRES_DB" -U "$POSTGRES_USER"' > pgsql_databases.sql

Import:

docker exec postgres sh -c 'exec psql "$POSTGRES_DB" -U "$POSTGRES_USER"' < pgsql_databases.sql

Xdebug 3

To install xdebug extension just add this line in php-fpm/Dockerfile:

        php${PHP_VERSION}-redis \
+       php${PHP_VERSION}-xdebug; \

To configure Xdebug 3 you need add these lines in php-fpm/php-ini-overrides.ini:

For Linux:

xdebug.mode = debug
xdebug.remote_connect_back = true
xdebug.start_with_request = yes

For MacOS and Windows:

xdebug.mode = debug
xdebug.remote_host = host.docker.internal
xdebug.start_with_request = yes

Add the section “environment” to the php-fpm service in compose.yaml:

environment:
  PHP_IDE_CONFIG: "serverName=Docker"

Create a server configuration in PHPStorm:

• In PHPStorm open Preferences | Languages & Frameworks | PHP | Servers
• Add new server
• The “Name” field should be the same as the parameter “serverName” value in “environment” in compose.yaml (i.e. Docker in the example above)
• A value of the "port" field should be the same as first port(before a colon) in "webserver" service in compose.yaml
• Select "Use path mappings" and set mappings between a path to your project on a host system and the Docker container.
• Finally, add “Xdebug helper” extension in your browser, set breakpoints and start debugging
