Creating a Chamilo 2 test containers stack

To test Chamilo2 you can create a container based on the latest published code in GitHub as well as latest version of the base containers. This is by no means a recommended approach for Production.

Standalone Chamilo 2 container

You can use the provided Dockerfile to build your own. Not all possible PHP extensions have been enabled but only the required ones as well as APCu as an example.

You can easily modify it to add more extensions. Layers are not squashed to make sure you can refresh Chamilo source for example by rebuilding without eventually needing refresh the previous layers.

As for the database it expects you can point to yours or use a default MariaDB container when using the docker compose up version.

Test stack (docker compose approach)

Please note that you will need to create a .env file to define the variables of MariaDB in that case.

MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=securePassword
MYSQL_DATABASE=chamilo
MYSQL_USER=root
MYSQL_PASSWORD=

While configuring Chamilo, use mariadb as the server hostname and whatever values you did set in the .env file to create the connection to the database.

Volumes are created as named volumes to be persisted on your docker host. You can find options inside the docker-compose.yml to use binded volumes or seed from an existing database export.

If you do not intend to rebuild every time you set up the stack, please comment out the build instructions in the docker-compose.yml section for the Chamilo container.
