Dolibarr application server

Docker image for Dolibarr ERP.

Provides full database configuration, production mode, HTTPS enforcer (SSL must be provided by reverse proxy), handles upgrades, and so on...

Usage

This image does not contain the database for Dolibarr. You need to use either an existing database or a database container.

To start the container type:

# docker run -d -p 8080:80 --link my-db:db upshift/dolibarr

Now you can access Dolibarr at http://localhost:8080/ from your host system. Default password for the 'admin' user is 'dolibarr'.

Persistent data

The Dolibarr installation and all data beyond what lives in the database (file uploads, etc) are stored in the unnamed docker volume volume /var/www/html and /var/www/documents. The docker daemon will store that data within the docker directory /var/lib/docker/volumes/.... That means your data is saved even if the container crashes, is stopped or deleted.

To make your data persistent to upgrading and get access for backups is using named docker volume or mount a host folder. To achieve this you need one volume for your database container and two volumes for Dolibarr.

Dolibarr:

• /var/www/html/ folder where all Dolibarr data lives
• /var/www/documents/ folder where all Dolibarr documents lives

# docker run -d \
    -v dolibarr_html:/var/www/html \
    -v dolibarr_docs:/var/www/documents \
    upshift/dolibarr

Database:

• /var/lib/mysql MySQL / MariaDB Data
• /var/lib/postgresql/data PostgreSQL Data

# docker run -d \
    -v db:/var/lib/mysql \
    mariadb

If you want to get fine grained access to your individual files, you can mount additional volumes for config, your theme and custom modules. The conf is stored in subfolder inside /var/www/html/. The modules are split into core apps (which are shipped with Dolibarr and you don't need to take care of) and a custom folder. If you use a custom theme it would go into the theme subfolder.

Overview of the folders that can be mounted as volumes:

• /var/www/html Main folder, needed for updating
• /var/www/html/custom installed / modified modules
• /var/www/html/conf local configuration
• /var/www/html/theme/<YOUR_CUSTOM_THEME> theming/branding

Auto configuration via environment variables

The Dolibarr image supports auto configuration via environment variables. You can preconfigure nearly everything that is asked on the install page on first run. To enable auto configuration, set your database connection via the following environment variables. ONLY use one database type!

See conf.php.example and install.forced.sample.php for more details on install configuration.

Running this image with docker-compose

This example will use the a MariaDB container (you can also use MySQL or PostgreSQL if you prefer). The volumes are set to keep your data persistent. This setup provides no ssl encryption and is intended to run behind a proxy.

Create docker-compose.yml file as following:

version: '3'

volumes:
  dolibarr_html:
  dolibarr_docs:
  dolibarr_db:

services:

  mariadb:
    image: mariadb:latest
    restart: always
    command: --character_set_client=utf8 --character-set-server=utf8mb4 --collation-server=utf8mb4_unicode_ci
    volumes:
      - dolibarr_db:/var/lib/mysql
    environment:
        - "MYSQL_DATABASE=dolibarr"
        - "MYSQL_USER=dolibarr"
        - "MYSQL_PASSWORD=dolibarr"
        - "MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD=yes"

  dolibarr:
    image: upshift/dolibarr:latest
    restart: always
    depends_on:
        - mariadb
    ports:
        - "8080:80"
    environment:
        - "DOLI_DB_HOST=mariadb"
        - "DOLI_DB_NAME=dolibarr"
        - "DOLI_DB_USER=dolibarr"
        - "DOLI_DB_PASSWORD=dolibarr"
    volumes:
        - dolibarr_html:/var/www/html
        - dolibarr_docs:/var/www/documents

Then run all services docker-compose up -d. Now, go to http://localhost:8080/install to access the new Dolibarr installation wizard.

Make your Dolibarr available from the internet

Until here your Dolibarr is just available from you docker host. If you want you Dolibarr available from the internet adding SSL encryption is mandatory. There are many different possibilities to introduce encryption depending on your setup.

We recommend using a reverse proxy in front of our Dolibarr installation. Your Dolibarr will only be reachable through the proxy, which encrypts all traffic to the clients. You can mount your manually generated certificates to the proxy or use a fully automated solution, which generates and renews the certificates for you.

First use

When you first access your Dolibarr, you need to access the install wizard at http://localhost:8080/install/. The setup wizard will appear and ask you to choose an administrator account, password and the database connection. For the database use the name of your database container as host and dolibarr as table and user name. Also enter the database password you chose in your docker-compose.yml file.

Most of the fields of the wizard can be initialized with the environment variables.

You should note though that some environment variables will be ignored during install wizard (DOLI_AUTH and DOLI_LDAP_* for instance). An initial conf.php was generated by the container on the first start with the Dolibarr environment variables you set through Docker. To use the container generated configuration, you can skip the first step of install and go directly to http://localhost:8080/install/step2.php.

Update to a newer version

Updating the Dolibarr container is done by pulling the new image, throwing away the old container and starting the new one. Since all data is stored in volumes, nothing gets lost. The startup script will check for the version in your volume and the installed docker version. If it finds a mismatch, it automatically starts the upgrade process. Don't forget to add all the volumes to your new container, so it works as expected. Also, we advised you do not skip major versions during your upgrade. For instance, upgrade from 5.0 to 6.0, then 6.0 to 7.0, not directly from 5.0 to 7.0.

$ docker pull upshift/dolibarr
$ docker stop <your_dolibarr_container>
$ docker rm <your_dolibarr_container>
$ docker run <OPTIONS> -d upshift/dolibarr

Beware that you have to run the same command with the options that you used to initially start your Dolibarr. That includes volumes, port mapping.

When using docker-compose your compose file takes care of your configuration, so you just have to run:

$ docker-compose pull
$ docker-compose up -d
