Deploy Joomla Through Docker

Docker Compose File

Create a docker-compose.yml file with the following content:

services:
  joomla:
    image: joomla:5.1-php8.2-apache
    restart: always
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    volumes:
      - joomla-data:/var/www/html
    environment:
      - JOOMLA_DB_HOST=db
      - JOOMLA_DB_USER
      - JOOMLA_DB_PASSWORD

  db:
    image: mysql:8.0
    restart: always
    volumes:
        - db-data:/var/lib/mysql
    environment:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=joomla
      - MYSQL_USER=${JOOMLA_DB_USER}
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=${JOOMLA_DB_PASSWORD}

volumes:
  joomla-data:
    driver: local
  db-data:
    driver: local

Create The Env File

Create a .env file at the same location as the docker-compose.yml file you just created.

COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME="joomla"


# Specify the root password for the mysql database.
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD="putAStrongRandomPasswordHere"


# Specify the MySQL login details for the joomla user.
JOOMLA_DB_USER="joomla"
