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 with WSL2 notes

  • the directory must be in your Linux home directory /home/<username> or short ~/ (you must NOT use /mnt/c/Users/<username>!)
  • until we figure out docker-compose syntax for bind-mounts, you need to replace all mounts using bind-mounts, with explicit mounts, eg:
service:
  egroupware:
    volumes:
    #- data:/var/lib/egroupware
    - $PWD/data:/var/lib/egroupware
  • internal volumes (with just names mentioned in volumes section) are fine

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

  • to run docker(-compose) commands with your regular user either
    • prefix them with sudo or
    • add yourself to the docker group: sudo usermod -aG docker $USER and then run newgrp docker everytime you open a terminal
  • permissions of sources directory need to be changed after install: chown -R $USER sources
  • permissions of data directory must be readable and writable by www-data user (#33)
  • do not use http://localhost/egroupware/, as push, Collabora and Rocket.Chat will not be able to communicate
    • localhost in each container is NOT the host system, but the container itself!
    • give you development system a name and add it to the hosts /etc/hosts as: 127.0.0.1 devbox.egroupware.org
    • add it as extra_host: - "devbox.egroupware.org:172.17.0.1" to each service which as a commented out extra_host
