CiviCRM + Docker

NOTE - This is no longer under active development or maintenance, use at your own risk.

This application is heavily based on previous work by altsalt.

Architecture

The composition is made up of three separate containers:

• Application - based on official Drupal:7-fpm image. Modified to load additional PHP extensions, install Drush, download CiviCRM, and run a post-build initialization script.

• Database - linked from official MariaDB:latest image.

• Web Server - based on official nginx:latest image. Modified to load CiviCRM specific configuration.

In theory, the database and web server containers could be swapped for any variants which CiviCRM supports.

How to Use

$ git clone https://github.com/altsalt/civicrm-docker && cd civicrm-docker

Update the environment variable files located underneath /env with your preferences.

Update the email configuration file located at /app/ssmtp.conf with your preferences.

Update the docker-compose.yml file with the ports you plan on using (if non-standard).

When you are ready, installation is as easy as:

$ docker-compose build
$ docker-compose up

You will also probably want to run the secure installation script on the database container:

$ docker exec -it civicrmdocker_db_1 bash
$ mysql_secure_installation

Enjoy!
