The easiest way to configure the DreamFactory application is to use docker-compose.
cd ~/repos (or wherever you want the clone of the repo to be)
git clone https://github.com/dreamfactorysoftware/df-docker.git
cd df-docker
docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d
NOTE: volume df-storage:/opt/dreamfactory/storage is created to store all file based (apps, logs etc.) data from DreamFactory.
This basically stores all data written by DreamFactory (at /opt/dreamfactory/storage location) in the df-storage volume. This
way if you delete your DreamFactory container your data will persist as long as you don't delete the df-storage volume.
to stop and remove all containers you can use the command
docker-compose down
to stop and remove all containers including volumes use
docker-compose down -v
127.0.0.1 dreamfactory.app
Go to 127.0.0.1 in your browser. It will take some time the first time. You will be asked to create your first admin user.

cd df-docker
2) Rename docker-compose.yml-load-balance to docker-compose.yml. Recommend backing up original docker-compose.yml first.
docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d

docker-compose down
to stop and remove all containers including volumes use
docker-compose down -v
This will create 4 containers. Mysql, Redis, DreamFactory, and Load Balancer container.
127.0.0.1 dreamfactory.app
Go to 127.0.0.1 in your browser. It will take some time the first time. You will be asked to create your first admin user.
docker-compose --scale web=3
This will add two more DreamFactory container. Now the load balancer is going to balance load in a round-robin fashion among these three DreamFactory containers.
If you don't want to use docker-compose you can build the images yourself.
cd ~/repos (or wherever you want the clone of the repo to be)
git clone https://github.com/dreamfactorysoftware/df-docker.git
cd df-docker
docker build -t dreamfactory .
docker run -d --name df-mysql -e "MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root" -e "MYSQL_DATABASE=dreamfactory" -e "MYSQL_USER=df_admin" -e "MYSQL_PASSWORD=df_admin" mysql
docker run -d --name df-redis redis
If your database and redis runs inside another container you can simply link it under the name db and rd respectively.
docker run -d --name df-web -p 80:80 -e "DB_DRIVER=mysql" -e "DB_HOST=db" -e "DB_USERNAME=df_admin" -e "DB_PASSWORD=df_admin" -e "DB_DATABASE=dreamfactory" -e "CACHE_DRIVER=redis" -e "CACHE_HOST=rd" -e "CACHE_DATABASE=0" -e "CACHE_PORT=6379" --link df-mysql:db --link df-redis:rd dreamfactory
127.0.0.1 dreamfactory.app
Go to 127.0.0.1 in your browser. It will take some time the first time. You will be asked to create your first admin user.
- You may have to use
sudofor Docker commands depending on your setup. - By default, the container only sends nginx error logs to STDOUT. If you also want to have dreamfactory.log, e.g. for forwarding via docker logging driver
you can set environment variable
LOG_TO_STDOUT=true

For this purpose we are assuming that you have already built your DreamFactory image named dreamfactory following instructions under the "Configuration method 2 (build your own)" section.
Start your MySQL container.
docker run -d --name df-mysql -e "MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root" -e "MYSQL_DATABASE=dreamfactory" -e "MYSQL_USER=df_admin" -e "MYSQL_PASSWORD=df_admin" mysql
Start your Redis container.
docker run -d --name df-redis redis
Now, in order for DreamFactory container to install the extra commercial packages after it starts up, you will need to provide the commercial license files to the container using docker volume.
To mount an external (host) directory inside docker container you can use the -v flag as part of the docker run command. For example: -v /path/to/your/directory/on/host:/your/path/inside/container.
For DreamFactory the container path for license file must be /opt/dreamfactory/license. In addition to setting the volume you will need to use the LICENSE environment option to indicate your license (silver/gold).
Here is an example command to start the DreamFactory container with gold license. Assuming your license files (provided by your sales agent) are stored in /Users/john/df-commercial.
docker run -d --name df-web -p 80:80 -e "DB_DRIVER=mysql" -e "DB_HOST=db" -e "DB_USERNAME=df_admin" -e "DB_PASSWORD=df_admin" -e "DB_DATABASE=dreamfactory" -e "CACHE_DRIVER=redis" -e "CACHE_HOST=rd" -e "CACHE_DATABASE=0" -e "CACHE_PORT=6379" -e "LICENSE=gold" -v "/Users/john/df-commercial:/opt/dreamfactory/license" --link df-mysql:db --link df-redis:rd dreamfactory
Once you attached the volume, as you have in your previous sets of commands, we still need to seed the databases, etc.
First things first you need to get into your container. You can do that by this command:
docker exec -it <container name> /bin/bash/
Note: if you do not know the name of your container, you can use the command docker ps and it will list all of your running containers.
this will allow you to run commands inside of the container to update your files, etc.
1.cp -i /opt/dreamfactory/license/composer.json /opt/dreamfactory - When prompted type 'yes'
2.cp -i /opt/dreamfactory/license/composer.lock /opt/dreamfactory - When prompted type 'yes'
With the new values in place you need to install the dependencies:
Use composer install --no-dev
or composer install --no-dev --ignore-platform-reqs if you do not need/want to install Oracle Drivers
Then you will need to run the normal seeding process:
php artisan migrate --seed
Clear your config:
php artisan config:clear
Clear you cache:
php artisan cache:clear
Reload your browser and you should see Gold or Silver for the license level
