Joomla is an open source Content Management System (CMS), which is used to build websites and online applications. It is free and extendable which is separated into front-end templates and back-end templates (administrator). Joomla is developed using PHP, Object Oriented Programming, software design patterns and MySQL (used for storing the data). This Docker_Compose file will provide you a complete environment in which you can create websites with backend support by a single command in less than one second.

Using this repository you can do these things automatically:-

Download images from DockerHub Community.
Create Docker volumes for permanent storage of your data.
Set Up MySQl Database for data storage.
Set up Joomla framework for creating websites.

• Redhat Enterprise Linux Version 8
• Docker
• Joomla
• MYSQL

First of all install Redhat_Enterprise_Linux_Version_8 and configure yum properly make sure you have installed the latest, stable and compatible versions of Docker, Joomla, MYSQL server, Docker Compose.

• Install Docker on Redhat8:

Configure yum by adding docker.repo:

$ cd /etc/yum.repos.d
$ gedit docker.repo
    here add these lines:

    [docker_repo]
    name=docker_repo
    baseurl=https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
    gpgcheck=0

    save it.
$ yum install docker-ce --nobest

$ sudo systemctl start docker

$ sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.21.2/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Download the Joomla image:

$ docker pull joomla:latest

Download the MySQL image:

$ docker pull mysql:5.7

$ docker run -dit -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=(your password)  -e MYSQL_USER=(your username) -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=(mysql password)  -e MYSQL_DATABASE=(your database password) -v mysql_storage:/var/lib/mysql --name dbos mysql:5.7

$ mysql -h serverIP -u username -p (your_password)

$ docker run -dit -e JOOMLA_DB_HOST=(Database Hostname)  -e JOOMLA_DB_USER=(your Username)  -e JOOMLA_DB_PASSWORD=(your password) -e JOOMLA_DB_NAME=(Database name)  -v joomla_storage:/var/lib/mysql  -p 1234:80 --link dbos --name joomos joomla:latest

Install a docker-compose software from https://docs.docker.com/compose/install. Make a compose file using:-

$ mkdir mycompose

You can create/edit your docker-compose file using

$ vim docker-compose.yml

Here in this docker-compose.yml file edit the joomla_server and MySQL server command in yaml format likes this:-

Open your terminal and go to that directory where you have saved your compose file:-

$ cd (your compose directory)
$ docker-compose up

or

$ docker-compose -f (compose_filename) up

Uptill now our all setup goes fine.

• To stop docker-compose, use command docker-compose stop. To start docker-compose use command docker compose start.

• You can easily stop the containers using command docker compose down
