byjg/opencart repository overview

⁠Opencart Docker Image

The opencart is not prepared to create external volumes. This image can do it for you!

⁠Running for the first time:

Create a local directory to store your opencart data:

# Prepare the directory
mkdir ~/opencart
touch ~/opencart/config.php
touch ~/opencart/admin-config.php
sudo chown 65534:65534 -R ~/opencart

# Create a network
docker network create oc

After that you can create a MySQL container and the Opencart Container:

# Create a container mysql.
# Please do the necessary adjustments here
# More info: https://hub.docker.com/_/mysql
docker run -d --rm --name mysql \
     --network oc \
     -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password \
     -v ~/mysql-opencart:/var/lib/mysql \
     mysql:5.7

# Run the Opencart
docker run -d --rm --name opencart \
    --network oc \
    -p 80:80 \
    -v ~/opencart:/data \
    byjg/opencart:3.0.2.0

The first time you'll be in the installation process. The database name should be mysql.oc. Just to understand, the mysql is the name of the container and oc is the network.

After finish the install please access the admin area. You'll receive a "Important Security Notification". Please choose "Automatically Move" to the directory "/data/" as you can see below:

OK.

Now you can stop your container and you don't lose your images.
