Mysql Server 5.6
PHP 5.6
SSH Server
To begin with:
-
Pull qloapps docker image from docker hub by running command "docker pull webkul/qloapps:latest".
-
After pulling the image, run your qloapps container by specifying ports and arguments as:
docker run -tidp 80:80 -p 3306:3306 -p 2222:22 -name qloappsv111 -e USER_PASSWORD=qloappsuserpassword -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=myrootpassword -e MYSQL_DATABASE=mydatabase webkul/qloapps_docker:latest
-
In the above command, your Host port 80 is linked with the docker port 80 running apache and Host port 3306 is linked with the docker port 3306 running MySQL, you can change the ports of your Host as per your requirements. Also, your SSH port 2222 is mapped with docker port 22 running SSH server. Please ensure that no other services are running on these host ports.
-
Mention your mysql root password, database name, 'qloapps' user password in arguments MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD, MYSQL_DATABASE and USER_PASSWORD respectively.
-
Check your running container using command docker ps. It will display you a container running with name qloappsv111.
-
Now go to your browser and hit your IP or domain name and start qloapps installation process
-
After qloapps installation, remove "install" directory from server root directory inside the container. Run command:
docker exec -i qloappsv111 rm -rf /home/qloapps/www/hotelcommerce/install .
-
On clicking on backoffice URL, you will be promped to rename your backoffice URL. Go to running docker container and change the name of admin directory as mentioned.
-
To access your qloapps files and directories, you can SSH in your docker container as:
ssh qloapps@mention_your_ip -p 2222
Note -: If you are running any other services on your host at port 80, 22 and 3306 then you have to mention other ports in step 2.
