Introduction

Install and run an GLPI instance with docker.

Deploy with CLI

Deploy GLPI

docker run --name mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=diouxx -e MYSQL_DATABASE=glpidb -e MYSQL_USER=glpi_user -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=glpi -d mysql:5.7.23
docker run --name glpi --link mysql:mysql -p 80:80 -d diouxx/glpi

Deploy GLPI with existing database

docker run --name glpi --link yourdatabase:mysql -p 80:80 -d diouxx/glpi

Deploy GLPI with database and persistence data

For an usage on production environnement or daily usage, it's recommanded to use container with volumes to persistent data.

• First, create MySQL container with volume

docker run --name mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=diouxx -e MYSQL_DATABASE=glpidb -e MYSQL_USER=glpi_user -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=glpi --volume /var/lib/mysql:/var/lib/mysql -d mysql:5.7.23

• Then, create GLPI container with volume and link MySQL container

docker run --name glpi --link mysql:mysql --volume /var/www/html/glpi:/var/www/html/glpi -p 80:80 -d diouxx/glpi

Enjoy :)

Deploy a specific release of GLPI

Default, docker run will use the latest release of GLPI.
For an usage on production environnement, it's recommanded to set specific release.
Here an example for release 9.1.6 :

docker run --name glpi --hostname glpi --link mysql:mysql --volume /var/www/html/glpi:/var/www/html/glpi -p 80:80 --env "VERSION_GLPI=9.1.6" -d diouxx/glpi

Deploy with docker-compose

Deploy without persistence data ( for quickly test )

version: "3.2"

services:
#Mysql Container
  mysql:
    image: mysql:5.7.23
    container_name: mysql
    hostname: mysql
    environment:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=glpidb
      - MYSQL_USER=glpi_user
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=glpi

#GLPI Container
  glpi:
    image: diouxx/glpi
    container_name : glpi
    hostname: glpi
    ports:
      - "80:80"

Deploy with persistence data

To deploy with docker compose, you use docker-compose.yml and mysql.env file.
You can modify mysql.env to personalize settings like :

• MySQL root password
• GLPI database
• GLPI user database
• GLPI user password

mysql.env

MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=diouxx
MYSQL_DATABASE=glpidb
MYSQL_USER=glpi_user
MYSQL_PASSWORD=glpi

docker-compose .yml

version: "3.2"

services:
#Mysql Container
  mysql:
    image: mysql:5.7.23
    container_name: mysql
    hostname: mysql
    volumes:
      - /var/lib/mysql:/var/lib/mysql
    env_file:
      - ./mysql.env
    restart: always

#GLPI Container
  glpi:
    image: diouxx/glpi
    container_name : glpi
    hostname: glpi
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    volumes:
      - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /var/www/html/glpi/:/var/www/html/glpi
    environment:
      - TIMEZONE=Europe/Brussels
    restart: always

To deploy, just run the following command on the same directory as files

docker-compose up -d

Environnment variables

TIMEZONE

If you need to set timezone for Apache and PHP

From commande line

docker run --name glpi --hostname glpi --link mysql:mysql --volumes-from glpi-data -p 80:80 --env "TIMEZONE=Europe/Brussels" -d diouxx/glpi

From docker-compose

Modify this settings

environment:
     TIMEZONE=Europe/Brussels
