Just sharing the Dockerfile i've made for testing OJS

[arturluizbr]

I'm working on a project to apply a personalized template to OJS, so I've made this image to simply run OJS on a Docker container.

It uses master branch of OJS repo (there is a tag for my forked OJS aswell), initializes git submodules and downloads composer dependencies (I was stuck here so much time :'( )

And there is no instructions yet, so you need to check library/php (apache tag) docker image for some reference.

I think this is a great idea to make OJS easy to use for newcomers.

Are you aware of any other activities in this area? @asmecher Are there plans to provide an "offical" Dockerfile for OJS?

Hi @nuest! I'm not aware of any Docker work yet, but we do have a Vagrant configuration:
https://github.com/pkp/ojs-vagrant

I'll pass this around the team and see what they think. Meanwhile, I'll leave this open. Thanks for contributing!

[asmecher]

Sorry, hi also to @arturluizbr, and sorry if we missed this entry before @nuest's comment.

[nuest]

Thanks for the feedback and the pointer to the Vagrant configuration.

My plan is to build upon @arturluizbr 's Dockerfiles and the Vagrant configuration to build a docker image that downloads a numbered release (instead of the source) and uses a second docker container for the MySQL database and the files directory.

I am working on this on the side, but I'll report back as soon as I have something working ... or not working :-).

[nuest]

I've got OJS 2.x running locally with a stack of three docker images. Feedback welcome!

Some bumps still, started a discussion in the forum: http://forum.pkp.sfu.ca/t/creating-a-docker-image-to-easily-run-and-deploy-ojs-room-to-improve/8535

Thanks, @nuest! Tagging @jnugent on this update.

I will share mine, which relies on Postgres instead of MySQL; the configuration file is bind mounted.

FROM node:lts-alpine AS node

WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN npm install && npm run build

FROM php:8-apache

COPY --chown=www-data:www-data . .
COPY --chown=www-data:www-data --from=node /app/js/build.js js/
COPY --chown=www-data:www-data --from=node /app/styles/build.css styles/

RUN apt-get update && \
    DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -qq \
        git \
        unzip \
        libpq-dev \
        libicu-dev
RUN docker-php-ext-install gettext intl pdo pdo_pgsql
RUN curl https://getcomposer.org/composer-stable.phar -o /usr/local/bin/composer && \
    chmod +x /usr/local/bin/composer
RUN composer --working-dir=lib/pkp install && \

    composer --working-dir=plugins/paymethod/paypal install

It would be better to have an intermediate build step, not to bring development dependencies in the final image of course.

I could have used the Docker composer image, but that is based on Alpine while the final image is not, so it would not be a good idea to just copy the compiled libraries. It could be better not to rely entirely on Docker "official" images in the first places actually; I was hoping to keep it simple.
