TableTurn Website

Requirements

Before calling any of the docker commands documented bellow, you must declare the following variables in your ENV:

• DB_NAME is the name of the database to be created.
• DB_PASSWORD is the root database user password to use to connect.

On my computer, I like to use zsh's dotenv plugin and have a .env such as:

DB_NAME=ttwebsite
DB_PASSWORD=S0methingRe4llySecret

This whay when I cd into the project folder, my ENV is properly populated.

Infrastructure

The docker-compose.yml file defines the following services:

• The Joomla application itself as app.
• The MySQL database defined as db.

It also defines the following volumes:

• app-html mounted on the app container and will contain the CMS source code.
• db-data mounted on the db container and stores database data.

Up and Running

• First, make sure you have a docker-swarm compatible $DOCKER_HOST configured (docker swarm init etc).
• Then simply deploy by running docker stack deploy --compose-file docker-compose.yml ttwebsite.
• You can verify the status of individual services by running docker service ls and look for ttwebsite_ prefixed services.
• An overlay network should have been created, look in docker network ls for ttwebsite_main.
• You should be able to access 0.0.0.0:8080 and when asked for a database host simply input db:3306 as the database container is visible from the app container.
