chrisss404/opencart

This image is not intended for productive use! The main purpose is for demo, testing, and development tasks. Therefore a pre-configured shop with pre-defined options yielding fast startup times is used.

Usage

Create a docker-compose.yml with the following contents.

web:
  image: chrisss404/opencart:latest-php5.5
  links:
    - db
  ports:
    - "80:80"
db:
  image: chrisss404/opencart:latest-mysql5.5

Then run docker-compose up and navigate in your browser to

http://127.0.0.1/ to access the front end, and
http://127.0.0.1/admin/ to access the back end.

Hostname

To set the hostname for OpenCart use the environment variable VIRTUAL_HOST=foo.bar.com.

web:
  image: chrisss404/opencart:latest-php5.5
  links:
    - db
  ports:
    - "80:80"
  environment:
    - VIRTUAL_HOST=foo.bar.com
db:
  image: chrisss404/opencart:latest-mysql5.5

Then run docker-compose up --force-recreate and foo.bar.com is used as base URL.

Automated Nginx Reverse Proxy

To use this image in combination with the very popular nginx reverse proxy, use the following docker-compose.yml.

proxy:
  image: jwilder/nginx-proxy
  ports:
   - "80:80"
  volumes:
   - /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro
web:
  image: chrisss404/opencart:latest-php5.5
  links:
   - db
  environment:
   - VIRTUAL_HOST=foo.bar.com
db:
  image: chrisss404/opencart:latest-mysql5.5

Then start both, the reverse proxy and OpenCart, with docker-compose up --force-recreate. If the nginx reverse proxy is run with SSL support, add the environment variable SHOP_USE_SSL=1.

Backend Login

To change the backend credentials, set the environment variables SHOP_ADMIN_USER=joe1 and SHOP_ADMIN_PASSWORD=abc123.

web:
  image: chrisss404/opencart:latest-php5.5
  links:
    - db
  ports:
    - "80:80"
  environment:
    - SHOP_ADMIN_USER=joe1
    - SHOP_ADMIN_PASSWORD=abc123
db:
  image: chrisss404/opencart:latest-mysql5.5

Plugin Download

To download a plugin on startup, add the environment variable DOWNLOAD_PLUGIN=https://github.com/foo/bar/archive/master.tar.gz.

Usage of OpenCart Extension Installer

The extension installer requires a FTP service in order to upload extensions to your shop, which is not available in this setup. However the following extension provides a workaround for this shortcoming.

Development

To use this image for development, use subsequent docker-compose.yml.

web:
  image: chrisss404/opencart:latest-php5.5
  links:
    - db
  ports:
    - "80:80"
  volumes:
    - ./html:/var/www/html
db:
  image: chrisss404/opencart:latest-mysql5.5
  ports:
    - "3306:3306"

Then run the following commands in order to get the files for the volume:

# get container id
docker-compose ps -q web

# copy directory to host and set file permissions
docker cp <container-id>:/var/www/html ./html
chmod -R 0777 html
