EGroupware development enviroment as Docker container

The container and docker-compose.yml file in this directory are the most easy way to get a full development enviroment for EGroupware.

It defines and uses the following volumes:

• sources: document root of the webserver, by default $PWD/sources subdirectory, can also be your existing document root
• data: EGroupware stores it's files here, by default $PWD/data subdirectory, can also be your existing /var/lib/egroupware
• db: volume for MariaDB (should be NOT a directory under Mac OS and Windows for performance reasons!)
• sessions: volume for sessions, internal no need to change
• sources-push: swoolpush sub-directory of sources
• collabora-config: /etc/loolwsd for Collabora container, by default $PWD/data/default/loolwsd
• rocketchat-uploads: Upload directory for Rocket.Chat, by default $PWD/data/default/rocketchat/uploads
• rocketchat-dumps: Dump directory for MongoDB, by default $PWD/data/default/rocketchat/dump

It runs the following containers:

• egroupware: php-fpm
• egroupware-nginx: Nginx
• egroupware-db: MariaDB
• egroupware-push: PHP Swoole based push server
• egroupware-watchtower: to automatic keeps the containers up to date
• collabora: Collabora Online Office
• rocketchat: Rocket.Chat
• rocketchat-mongo: MongoDB for Rocket.Chat

Usage:

mkdir dev && cd dev
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EGroupware/egroupware/master/doc/docker/development/docker-compose.yml
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EGroupware/egroupware/master/doc/docker/development/nginx.conf
mkdir sources data
# edit docker-compose.yml to fit your needs eg.
# ports to use for Nginx / the webserver, by default 8080 and 4443
# xdebug port, default 9001 (NOT 9000!)
# IDE host, default XDEBUG_REMOTE_HOST=docker.for.mac.localhost
docker-compose up -d

• It will install EGroupware master and phpMyAdmin in egroupware / phpmyadmin subdirectory of sources volume, if not already there
• Credentials for a new install can be found in data:egroupware-docker-install.log
• Use the following to tail the webserver error.log

docker logs -f egroupware-nginx 2>&1 | sed "s/PHP message/\\$(echo -e '\n\r')PHP message/g"

Docker Desktop for Mac notes

• directories of volumes must be exported to Docker, by default only your home-directory is!
• permissions of sources and data directory must be readable (sources writable) by your user, as Docker daemon runs as that user!
• db volume must NOT be a directory, as the networked access from Docker VM to the Mac is to slow!

Docker Desktop for Windows notes

• you can NOT use $PWD to reference the docker-compose directory, use the full path with forward slashes!
• directories of volumes must be exported to Docker!
• db volume must NOT be a directory, as the networked access from Docker VM to Windows is to slow!

Docker on Linux

• permissions of sources and data directory must be readable (sources writable) by www-data user (#33)
