Plus, manage docker containers with Portainer.

Supported CPU architectures:

arm64/aarch64, x86-64

Supported Linux Package Manage Systems:

apk, dnf, yum, apt/apt-get, zypper, pacman

Supported Linux Operation Systems:

alpine linux     fedora     centos     debian     ubuntu     ubuntu     redhat on s390x (IBM Z)     opensuse on s390x (IBM Z)     arch linux

Note: Fedora 37, 39 and alpine linux x86-64 compatible, could not try sles IBM Z s390x, rhel IBM Z s390x and raspberrypi.

With this project you can quickly run the following:

For certbot (letsencrypt) certificate:

IPv4/IPv6 Firewall

Create rules to open ports to the internet, or to a specific IPv4 address or range.

  • http: 80
  • https: 443
  • portainer: 9001

Manual

Requirements

Make sure you have the latest versions of Docker and Docker Compose installed on your machine.

Clone this repository or copy the files from this repository into a new folder.

Make sure to add your user to the docker group.

Configuration

download with

git clone https://github.com/damalis/full-stack-apache2-grav-for-everyone-with-docker-compose.git

Open a terminal and cd to the folder in which docker-compose.yml is saved and run:

cd full-stack-apache2-grav-for-everyone-with-docker-compose

Copy the example environment into .env

cp env.example .env

Edit the .env file to change values of

|LOCAL_TIMEZONE|DOMAIN_NAME|DIRECTORY_PATH|LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL|SSL_SNIPPET|

Variable Value
LOCAL_TIMEZONE to see local timezones
DIRECTORY_PATH pwd at command line
SSL_SNIPPET localhost echo 'Generated Self-signed SSL Certificate at localhost'
remotehost certbot certonly --webroot --webroot-path /tmp/acme-challenge --rsa-key-size 4096 --non-interactive --agree-tos --no-eff-email --force-renewal --email ${LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL} -d ${DOMAIN_NAME} -d www.${DOMAIN_NAME}

Installation

Firstly: will create external volume

docker volume create --driver local --opt type=none --opt device=${PWD}/certbot --opt o=bind certbot-etc

Localhost ssl: Generate Self-signed SSL Certificate with guide mkcert repository.

docker compose up -d

then reloading for webserver ssl configuration

docker container restart webserver

The containers are now built and running. You should be able to access the Grav installation with the configured IP in the browser address. https://example.com.

For convenience you may add a new entry into your hosts file.

Portainer

docker compose -f portainer-docker-compose.yml -p portainer up -d 

manage docker with Portainer is the definitive container management tool for Docker, Docker Swarm with it's highly intuitive GUI and API.

You can also visit https://example.com:9001 to access portainer after starting the containers.

Usage

You could manage docker containers without command line with portainer.

Here’s a quick reference of commonly used Docker Compose commands

docker ps -a	# Lists all containers managed by the compose file
docker compose start	# Starts previously stopped containers
docker compose stop	# Stops all running containers
docker compose down	# Stops and removes containers, networks, etc.
docker compose down -v # Add --volumes to remove volumes explicitly
docker rm -f $(docker ps -a -q)	# Removes portainer and the other containers
docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q)	# Removes all volumes
docker network prune	# Remove all unused networks
docker system prune	# Removes unused data (containers, networks, images, and optionally volumes)
docker system prune -a	# Removes all unused images, not just dangling ones
docker rmi $(docker image ls -q)	# Removes portainer and the other images
docker container logs container_name_or_id	# Shows logs from all services

Project from existing source

Copy all files into a new directory:

docker compose up -d	# Starts services in detached mode (in the background)

Docker run reference

Website

You should see the "GRAV" page in your browser. If not, please check if your PHP installation satisfies Grav's requirements.

https://example.com

add or remove code in the ./php-fpm/php/conf.d/security.ini file for custom php.ini configurations

https://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.php

You should make changes custom host configurations ./php-fpm/php-fpm.d/z-www.conf then must restart service, FPM uses php.ini syntax for its configuration file - php-fpm.conf, and pool configuration files.

https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.fpm.configuration.php

docker container restart grav

add and/or remove grav site folders and files with any ftp client program in ./grav folder.
You can also visit https://example.com to access website after starting the containers.

Webserver

add or remove code in the ./webserver/extra/httpd-ssl.conf file for custom apache2/httpd configurations

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/

Database

Because Grav is a flat-file based CMS, meaning no database underpins it, the folder structure of your site is very important. At the top level of your Grav installation the folder structure looks like:

/assets
/backup
/bin
/cache
/images
/logs
/system
/tmp
/vendor
/user

https://learn.getgrav.org/17/basics/folder-structure

Redis

These options should go under the cache: group in your ./grav/user/config/system.yaml:

cache:
  ...
  redis:
    server: redis
    port: 6379

https://learn.getgrav.org/17/advanced/performance-and-caching#redis-specific-options

Cache

The Cache section is where you can configure the site's caching settings. You can enable, disable, choose the method, and more.

https://learn.getgrav.org/17/basics/grav-configuration#cache

backup

This will back up the all files and folders in html volumes, once per day, and write it to ./backups with a filename like backup-2023-01-01T10-18-00.tar.gz

can run on a custom cron schedule

BACKUP_CRON_EXPRESSION: '20 01 * * *' the UTC timezone.
