#445 Docker image build

[Light Templar]

Could you please build a docker image for your nice app?

[Jan-Benedict Glaw]

Just as a hint, I started to build me a small Docker container for running SeedDMS. However, I intended it to not run standalone, but it's just a minimal "php:apache" container with some stuff added (apt-get -y install zlib1g-dev imagemagick libpng-dev poppler-utils catdoc libpq-dev id3; docker-php-ext-install gd pdo pdo_pgsql) and a bit of config:

    echo "post_max_size = 0"                >  /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/seeddms.ini                && \
    echo "upload_max_filesize = 10000M"     >> /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/seeddms.ini                && \
    echo "log_errors = On"                  >> /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/seeddms.ini                && \
    echo "error_log = /dev/stderr"          >> /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/seeddms.ini                && \

All data is kept externally:

exec docker run \
-it \
${ARGS} \
--volume pwd/seeddms_html:/var/www/html \
--volume pwd/seeddms_data:/var/www/html/seeddms/data \
--publish 8080:80 \
seeddms

SeedDMS is extracted to the ./seeddms_html directory, it's config file modified to use the host's PostgreSQL database and all documents are also in a separate docker mount as seen above.

This should separate SeedDMS, the Apache/PHP setup, and the actual data.

There is finaly a docker image at docker hub. Search for usteinm/seeddms

[Jan-Benedict Glaw]

Thanks a lot for this! I just started to explore this :)

Is your Dockerfile somewhere around? Or the Docker hub documentation? I'd drop a few patches to make everybody's start a bit smoother. Ie. I noticed that for example the volume pathes for the latest image seem to be wrong (container: /home/www-data/seeddms60x/data, but docs say to mount to /var/lib/seeddms/data).

[Jan-Benedict Glaw]

Oh and should modifying the "Http Root" allow me to call the SeedDMS docker from a Nginx proxy? That'd be quite helpful to place SeedDMS to eg. /seeddms/ to have a simple rule there...

[Jan-Benedict Glaw]

Calling it without a proxy and only the first-step minimal configuration, it "crashes" with this:

<b>Fatal error</b>:  Uncaught Error: Call to a member function getId() on bool in /home/www-data/seeddms60x/seeddms-6.0.17/views/bootstrap/class.Bootstrap.php:297

Any hints?
