To start off with docker I needed to download Docker onto the server that I designated to run my webserver and other containers that I choose to setup. I won't cover how to install Docker on a Windows or Linux system as it is heavily covered and can be figured out with a simple google search. After I had docker installed I decided to use Docker Compose to make this webserver.
For Docker Compose:
Step 1. I pulled down the PHP image. Command: sudo docker pull php
Step 2. make a directory in a spot of your choice for the Docker Compose yaml file. Command: mkdir /path/to/yaml/file
Step 3. go into the compose directory that you created. Command: cd /path/to/yaml/file
Step 4. open a text editor and create a file inside the directory and name it: docker-compose.yaml
Step 5. I edited this file and wrote in the following below, Please note it serves over port 80 which i used for initial setup and configuration. Later on when I was ready to open it to the internet I changed this open port to server over HTTPS port 443
version: '3'
services:
dokuwiki:
container_name: dokuwiki
image: php:7-apache-bullseye
restart: unless-stopped
networks:
- dokuwiki
ports:
- '8888:80'
volumes:
- 'dokuwiki_config:/var/www/html'
networks:
dokuwiki:
volumes:
dokuwiki_config: driver: local
Step 6. when done, save the file. while still inside that directory, run this following command. command: docker-compose up -d
Step 7. from there I remoted into the container while ssh'ed into the Docker server. command: docker exec -it “Container Name” bash
Step 8. move to the dokuwiki directory. command: cd /var/www/html
Step 9. Now download dokuwiki. Command: curl –remote-name https://download.dokuwiki.org/src/dokuwiki/dokuwiki-stable.tgz tar -xzvf dokuwiki-stable.tgz –strip-components=1 rm dokuwiki-stable.tgz chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/
Step 10. Now go to http://your_docker_server_IP:8888/install.php in a web browser and you will be greeted with the start configuration for you Dokuwiki server.
