🛑 DEPRECATED Bitnami Docker Image for OpenCart
1M+
The OpenCart container is now deprecated. This image will no longer be released in our catalog, but already-released container images will persist in the registries.
After some months, this repository will be removed in favor of bitnami/opencart-archived where all existing images can be found.
OpenCart is free open source ecommerce platform for online merchants. OpenCart provides a professional and reliable foundation from which to build a successful online store.
Overview of OpenCart Trademarks: This software listing is packaged by Bitnami. The respective trademarks mentioned in the offering are owned by the respective companies, and use of them does not imply any affiliation or endorsement.
docker run --name opencart bitnami/opencart:latest
Warning: This quick setup is only intended for development environments. You are encouraged to change the insecure default credentials and check out the available configuration options in the Environment Variables section for a more secure d eployment.
Looking to use OpenCart in production? Try VMware Tanzu Application Catalog, the commercial edition of the Bitnami catalog.
Deploying Bitnami applications as Helm Charts is the easiest way to get started with our applications on Kubernetes. Read more about the installation in the Bitnami OpenCart Chart GitHub repository.
Bitnami containers can be used with Kubeapps for deployment and management of Helm Charts in clusters.
Non-root container images add an extra layer of security and are generally recommended for production environments. However, because they run as a non-root user, privileged tasks are typically off-limits. Learn more about non-root containers in our docs.
Dockerfile
linksLearn more about the Bitnami tagging policy and the difference between rolling tags and immutable tags in our documentation page.
You can see the equivalence between the different tags by taking a look at the tags-info.yaml
file present in the branch folder, i.e bitnami/ASSET/BRANCH/DISTRO/tags-info.yaml
.

The recommended way to get the Bitnami OpenCart Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the Docker Hub Registry.
docker pull bitnami/opencart:latest
To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the list of available versions in the Docker Hub Registry.
docker pull bitnami/opencart:[TAG]
If you wish, you can also build the image yourself by cloning the repository, changing to the directory containing the Dockerfile and executing the docker build
command. Remember to replace the APP
, VERSION
and OPERATING-SYSTEM
path placeholders in the example command below with the correct values.
git clone https://github.com/bitnami/containers.git
cd bitnami/APP/VERSION/OPERATING-SYSTEM
docker build -t bitnami/APP:latest .
OpenCart requires access to a MySQL or MariaDB database to store information. We'll use the Bitnami Docker Image for MariaDB for the database requirements.
Step 1: Create a network
docker network create opencart-network
Step 2: Create a volume for MariaDB persistence and create a MariaDB container
$ docker volume create --name mariadb_data
docker run -d --name mariadb \
--env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
--env MARIADB_USER=bn_opencart \
--env MARIADB_PASSWORD=bitnami \
--env MARIADB_DATABASE=bitnami_opencart \
--network opencart-network \
--volume mariadb_data:/bitnami/mariadb \
bitnami/mariadb:latest
Step 3: Create volumes for OpenCart persistence and launch the container
$ docker volume create --name opencart_data
docker run -d --name opencart \
-p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 \
--env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
--env OPENCART_DATABASE_USER=bn_opencart \
--env OPENCART_DATABASE_PASSWORD=bitnami \
--env OPENCART_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_opencart \
--network opencart-network \
--volume opencart_data:/bitnami/opencart \
bitnami/opencart:latest
Then you can access the OpenCart storefront at http://your-ip/
. To access the administration area, login to http://your-ip/administration
.
Note: If you want to access your application from a public IP or hostname you need to configure OpenCart for it. You can handle it adjusting the configuration of the instance by setting the environment variable OPENCART_HOST
to your public IP or hostname.
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/containers/main/bitnami/opencart/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml
docker-compose up -d
Please be aware this file has not undergone internal testing. Consequently, we advise its use exclusively for development or testing purposes. For production-ready deployments, we highly recommend utilizing its associated Bitnami Helm chart.
If you detect any issue in the docker-compose.yaml
file, feel free to report it or contribute with a fix by following our Contributing Guidelines.
If you remove the container all your data will be lost, and the next time you run the image the database will be reinitialized. To avoid this loss of data, you should mount a volume that will persist even after the container is removed.
For persistence you should mount a directory at the /bitnami/opencart
path. If the mounted directory is empty, it will be initialized on the first run. Additionally you should mount a volume for persistence of the MariaDB data.
The above examples define the Docker volumes named mariadb_data
and opencart_data
. The OpenCart application state will persist as long as volumes are not removed.
To avoid inadvertent removal of volumes, you can mount host directories as data volumes. Alternatively you can make use of volume plugins to host the volume data.
This requires a minor change to the docker-compose.yml
file present in this repository:
mariadb:
...
volumes:
- - 'mariadb_data:/bitnami/mariadb'
+ - /path/to/mariadb-persistence:/bitnami/mariadb
...
opencart:
...
volumes:
- - 'opencart_data:/bitnami/opencart'
+ - /path/to/opencart-persistence:/bitnami/opencart
...
-volumes:
- mariadb_data:
- driver: local
- opencart_data:
- driver: local
NOTE: As this is a non-root container, the mounted files and directories must have the proper permissions for the UID
1001
.
Step 1: Create a network (if it does not exist)
docker network create opencart-network
Step 2. Create a MariaDB container with host volume
docker run -d --name mariadb \
--env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
--env MARIADB_USER=bn_opencart \
--env MARIADB_PASSWORD=bitnami \
--env MARIADB_DATABASE=bitnami_opencart \
--network opencart-network \
--volume /path/to/mariadb-persistence:/bitnami/mariadb \
bitnami/mariadb:latest
Step 3. Create the OpenCart container with host volumes
docker run -d --name opencart \
-p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 \
--env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
--env OPENCART_DATABASE_USER=bn_opencart \
--env OPENCART_DATABASE_PASSWORD=bitnami \
--env OPENCART_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_opencart \
--network opencart-network \
--volume /path/to/opencart-persistence:/bitnami/opencart \
bitnami/opencart:latest

When you start the OpenCart image, you can adjust the configuration of the instance by passing one or more environment variables either on the docker-compose file or on the docker run
command line. If you want to add a new environment variable:
docker-compose.yml
file present in this repository:opencart:
...
environment:
- OPENCART_PASSWORD=my_password
...
For manual execution add a --env
option with each variable and value:
docker run -d --name opencart -p 80:8080 -p 443:8443 \
--env OPENCART_PASSWORD=my_password \
--network opencart-tier \
--volume /path/to/opencart-persistence:/bitnami \
bitnami/opencart:latest
This would be an example of SMTP configuration using a Gmail account:
docker-compose.yml
file present in this repository: opencart:
...
environment:
- OPENCART_DATABASE_USER=bn_opencart
- OPENCART_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_opencart
- ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes
- OPENCART_SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
- OPENCART_SMTP_PORT=587
- OPENCART_SMTP_USER=your_email@gmail.com
- OPENCART_SMTP_PASSWORD=your_password
...
For manual execution:
docker run -d --name opencart -p 80:8080 -p 443:8443 \
--env OPENCART_DATABASE_USER=bn_opencart \
--env OPENCART_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_opencart \
--env OPENCART_SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com \
--env OPENCART_SMTP_PORT=587 \
--env OPENCART_SMTP_USER=your_email@gmail.com \
--env OPENCART_SMTP_PASSWORD=your_password \
--network opencart-tier \
--volume /path/to/opencart-persistence:/bitnami \
bitnami/opencart:latest
The Bitnami OpenCart Docker image sends the container logs to stdout
. To view the logs:
docker logs opencart
Or using Docker Compose:
docker-compose logs opencart
You can configure the containers logging driver using the --log-driver
option if you wish to consume the container logs differently. In the default configuration docker uses the json-file
driver.
To backup your data, configuration and logs, follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Stop the currently running container
docker stop opencart
Or using Docker Compose:
docker-compose stop opencart
Step 2: Run the backup command
We need to mount two volumes in a container we will use to create the backup: a directory on your host to store the backup in, and the volumes from the container we just stopped so we can access the data.
docker run --rm -v /path/to/opencart-backups:/backups --volumes-from opencart busybox \
cp -a /bitnami/opencart /backups/latest
Restoring a backup is as simple as mounting the backup as volumes in the containers.
For the MariaDB database container:
$ docker run -d --name mariadb \
...
- --volume /path/to/mariadb-persistence:/bitnami/mariadb \
+ --volume /path/to/mariadb-backups/latest:/bitnami/mariadb \
bitnami/mariadb:latest
For the OpenCart container:
$ docker run -d --name opencart \
...
- --volume /path/to/opencart-persistence:/bitnami/opencart \
+ --volume /path/to/opencart-backups/latest:/bitnami/opencart \
bitnami/opencart:latest
Bitnami provides up-to-date versions of MariaDB and OpenCart, including security patches, soon after they are made upstream. We recommend that you follow these steps to upgrade your container. We will cover here the upgrade of the OpenCart container. For the MariaDB upgrade see: https://github.com/bitnami/containers/tree/main/bitnami/mariadb#upgrade-this-image
Step 1: Get the updated image
docker pull bitnami/opencart:latest
Step 2: Stop the running container
Stop the currently running container using the command
docker-compose stop opencart
Step 3: Take a snapshot of the application state
Follow the steps in Backing up your container to take a snapshot of the current application state.
Step 4: Remove the currently running container
Remove the currently running container by executing the following command:
docker-compose rm -v opencart
Step 5: Run the new image
Update the image tag in docker-compose.yml
and re-create your container with the new image:
docker-compose up -d
The Bitnami OpenCart Docker image is designed to be extended so it can be used as the base image for your custom web applications.
Before extending this image, please note there are certain configuration settings you can modify using the original image:
APACHE_HTTP_PORT_NUMBER
and APACHE_HTTPS_PORT_NUMBER
respectively.If your desired customizations cannot be covered using the methods mentioned above, extend the image. To do so, create your own image using a Dockerfile with the format below:
FROM bitnami/opencart
## Put your customizations below
...
Here is an example of extending the image with the following modifications:
vim
editorFROM bitnami/opencart
## Change user to perform privileged actions
USER 0
## Install 'vim'
RUN install_packages vim
## Revert to the original non-root user
USER 1001
## Enable mod_ratelimit module
RUN sed -i -r 's/#LoadModule ratelimit_module/LoadModule ratelimit_module/' /opt/bitnami/apache/conf/httpd.conf
## Modify the ports used by Apache by default
# It is also possible to change these environment variables at runtime
ENV APACHE_HTTP_PORT_NUMBER=8181
ENV APACHE_HTTPS_PORT_NUMBER=8143
EXPOSE 8181 8143
Based on the extended image, you can update the docker-compose.yml
file present in this repository to add other features:
opencart:
- image: bitnami/opencart:latest
+ build: .
ports:
- - '80:8080'
- - '443:8443'
+ - '80:8181'
+ - '443:8143'
environment:
+ - PHP_MEMORY_LIMIT=512m
...
root
user and the Apache daemon was started as the daemon
user. From now on, both the container and the Apache daemon run as user 1001
. You can revert this behavior by changing USER 1001
to USER root
in the Dockerfile, or user: root
in docker-compose.yml
. Consequences:
8080/8443
instead of 80/443
.To upgrade a deployment with the previous Bitnami OpenCart container image, which did not support non-root, the easiest way is to start the new image as a root user and updating the port numbers. Modify your docker-compose.yml
file as follows:
- ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes
+ user: root
ports:
- - '80:80'
- - '443:443'
+ - '80:8080'
+ - '443:8443'
volumes:
