A Dockerfile that installs the latest Ushahidi Platform running on nginx and php-fpm, with a MySQL database. It will also set up OpenSSH for additional management.
This guide assumes that you will be running Docker without sudo. Please make sure that Docker is configured properly before running any of these commands. (If you are on Mac OSX, note that Docker on OSX is automatically configured to not require sudo)
$ git clone https://github.com/ushahidi/docker-ushahidi-platform.git
$ cd docker-ushahidi-platform
$ docker build -t="docker-ushahidi-platform" .
If you have not previously run Docker on OSX, read the OSX install guide first. Before you will be able to run any docker commands, you will need to run boot2docker start and then run the export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://ip:port command that it lists.
Also note that ports are bound to a dynamic IP address, not 0.0.0.0. The bridging IP address can be found by running boot2docker ip. Replacing 0.0.0.0 with this IP in the instructions below.
To spawn a new instance of ushahidi:
$ docker run -p 80 -p 22 -d -t docker-ushahidi-platform
You'll see an ID output like 1d72c3c85840637d9d73d25818049952c0d98b64fde6b3c0d8645b08127b15e5. This is your container id, which can also be shorted to 12 characters like 1d72c3c858.
Use this ID to check the port it's on:
$ docker port 1d72c3c858 80 # Make sure to change the ID to yours!
This command returns the container ID, which you can use to find the external port you can use to access Ushahidi Platform from your host machine:
$ docker port <container-id> 80
You can the visit the following URL in a browser on your host machine to get started:
http://0.0.0.0:<port>
This address will be different if you are using OSX! See the additional instructions above.
To get the SSH password for the ushahidi user so you can login and edit files, check the top of the docker container logs for it:
$ docker logs <container-id>
To see what docker images are currently created, use the ps command:
$ docker ps -a
If there are any images that are stopped and can be removed, use the rm command:
$ docker rm <image-id>
If you get a warning about the image needing to be stopped, use the stop command first:
$ docker stop <image-id>
For additional commands, see docker help and the Docker User Guide.
This Docker container is heavily based on work by oskarhane and eugeneware.
