Dokuwiki Docker image build

Build of DokuWiki for Docker.

Runs DokuWiki with php7-fpm and ngingx.

Runs only on HTTPS, by default using a self-signed certificate for localhost.

Pull and run

docker run -d -p 443:443 natemago/dokuwiki:latest

Then access https://localhost/install.php to install and run setup of DokuWiki.

Once installed, the wiki will be available on https://localhost/doku.php

Mount data directory

To persist the data between restarts you must mount a volume. The data directory is set to /usr/share/nginx/html/data (in the default document root for nginx on Debian).

DokuWiki keeps the user and configuration data in special directory /usr/share/nginx/html/data. You need to mount this as a persistent volume as well to keep the user logins and configuration data between logins as well.

To run the wiki with persistent local data dir:

docker run -d \
           -p 443:443 \
           --volume /storage/path/data:/usr/share/nginx/html/data \
           --volume /storage/path/conf:/usr/share/nginx/html/conf \
           natemago/dokuwiki:latest

where:

• /storage/path/data is the path to your local persistent data storage.
• /storage/path/conf is the path to the storage that will keep the configuration for DokuWiki.

Add valid (signed) certificates

Certificates are read from /etc/ssl/live. You need to provide two certificate files (certificate and key):

• /etc/ssl/live/server.crt - the certificate file
• /etc/ssl/live/server.key - the private key file

These certificates can be obtained from Let's Encrypt, just be sure to rename (as server.crt and server.key) and mount the directory under /etc/ssl/live.

To run with custom certificates:

docker run -d \
           -p 443:443 \
           --volume /storage/path/data:/usr/share/nginx/html/data \
           --volume /storage/path/conf:/usr/share/nginx/html/conf \
           --volume /certificates/path:/etc/ssl/live \
           natemago/dokuwiki:latest

Building the Docker image
