Bitnami package for PrestaShop

🛑 Deprecation Notice

The PrestaShop 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/prestashop-archived where all existing images can be found.

What is PrestaShop?

PrestaShop is a powerful open source eCommerce platform used by over 250,000 online storefronts worldwide. It is easily customizable, responsive, and includes powerful tools to drive online sales.

Overview of PrestaShop 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.

TL;DR

docker run --name prestashop bitnami/prestashop: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 deployment.

Why use Bitnami Images?

  • Bitnami closely tracks upstream source changes and promptly publishes new versions of this image using our automated systems.
  • With Bitnami images the latest bug fixes and features are available as soon as possible.
  • Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
  • All our images are based on minideb -a minimalist Debian based container image that gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading Linux distribution- or scratch -an explicitly empty image-.
  • All Bitnami images available in Docker Hub are signed with Notation. Check this post to know how to verify the integrity of the images.
  • Bitnami container images are released on a regular basis with the latest distribution packages available.

Looking to use PrestaShop in production? Try VMware Tanzu Application Catalog, the commercial edition of the Bitnami catalog.

How to deploy PrestaShop in Kubernetes?

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 PrestaShop Chart GitHub repository.

Bitnami containers can be used with Kubeapps for deployment and management of Helm Charts in clusters.

Why use a non-root container?

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.

Supported tags and respective Dockerfile links

Learn 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.

Subscribe to project updates by watching the bitnami/containers GitHub repo.

Get this image

The recommended way to get the Bitnami PrestaShop Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the Docker Hub Registry.

docker pull bitnami/prestashop: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/prestashop:[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 .

How to use this image

PrestaShop requires access to a MySQL or MariaDB database to store information. We'll use the Bitnami Docker Image for MariaDB for the database requirements.

Using the Docker Command Line

Step 1: Create a network

docker network create prestashop-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_prestashop \
  --env MARIADB_PASSWORD=bitnami \
  --env MARIADB_DATABASE=bitnami_prestashop \
  --network prestashop-network \
  --volume mariadb_data:/bitnami/mariadb \
  bitnami/mariadb:latest

Step 3: Create volumes for PrestaShop persistence and launch the container

$ docker volume create --name prestashop_data
docker run -d --name prestashop \
  -p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 \
  --env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  --env PRESTASHOP_DATABASE_USER=bn_prestashop \
  --env PRESTASHOP_DATABASE_PASSWORD=bitnami \
  --env PRESTASHOP_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_prestashop \
  --network prestashop-network \
  --volume prestashop_data:/bitnami/prestashop \
  bitnami/prestashop:latest

Access your application at http://your-ip/

Note: If you want to access your application from a public IP or hostname you need to configure PrestaShop for it. You can handle it adjusting the configuration of the instance by setting the environment variable PRESTASHOP_HOST to your public IP or hostname.

Run the application using Docker Compose
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/containers/main/bitnami/prestashop/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.

Persisting your application

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/prestashop 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 prestashop_data. The PrestaShop 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.

Mount host directories as data volumes with Docker Compose

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
   ...
   prestashop:
     ...
     volumes:
-      - 'prestashop_data:/bitnami/prestashop'
+      - /path/to/prestashop-persistence:/bitnami/prestashop
   ...
-volumes:
-  mariadb_data:
-    driver: local
-  prestashop_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.

Mount host directories as data volumes using the Docker command line

Step 1: Create a network (if it does not exist)

docker network create prestashop-network

Step 2. Create a MariaDB container with host volume

docker run -d --name mariadb \
  --env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  --env MARIADB_USER=bn_prestashop \
  --env MARIADB_PASSWORD=bitnami \
  --env MARIADB_DATABASE=bitnami_prestashop \
  --network prestashop-network \
  --volume /path/to/mariadb-persistence:/bitnami/mariadb \
  bitnami/mariadb:latest

Step 3. Create the PrestaShop container with host volumes

docker run -d --name prestashop \
  -p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 \
  --env ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  --env PRESTASHOP_DATABASE_USER=bn_prestashop \
  --env PRESTASHOP_DATABASE_PASSWORD=bitnami \
  --env PRESTASHOP_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_prestashop \
  --network prestashop-network \
  --volume /path/to/prestashop-persistence:/bitnami/prestashop \
  bitnami/prestashop:latest

  • For docker-compose add the variable name and value under the application section in the docker-compose.yml file present in this repository:
prestashop:
  ...
  environment:
    - PRESTASHOP_PASSWORD=my_password
  ...
  • For manual execution add a --env option with each variable and value:

    docker run -d --name prestashop -p 80:8080 -p 443:8443 \
      --env PRESTASHOP_PASSWORD=my_password \
      --network prestashop-tier \
      --volume /path/to/prestashop-persistence:/bitnami \
      bitnami/prestashop:latest
    
Example

This would be an example of SMTP configuration using a Gmail account:

  prestashop:
    ...
    environment:
      - PRESTASHOP_DATABASE_USER=bn_prestashop
      - PRESTASHOP_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_prestashop
      - ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes
      - PRESTASHOP_SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
      - PRESTASHOP_SMTP_PORT=587
      - PRESTASHOP_SMTP_USER=your_email@gmail.com
      - PRESTASHOP_SMTP_PASSWORD=your_password
  ...
  • For manual execution:

    docker run -d --name prestashop -p 80:8080 -p 443:8443 \
      --env PRESTASHOP_DATABASE_USER=bn_prestashop \
      --env PRESTASHOP_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_prestashop \
      --env PRESTASHOP_SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com \
      --env PRESTASHOP_SMTP_PORT=587 \
      --env PRESTASHOP_SMTP_USER=your_email@gmail.com \
      --env PRESTASHOP_SMTP_PASSWORD=your_password \
      --network prestashop-tier \
      --volume /path/to/prestashop-persistence:/bitnami \
      bitnami/prestashop:latest
    

Troubleshooting

  • If you are automatically logged out from the administration panel, you can try to deploy PrestaShop with the environment variable PRESTASHOP_COOKIE_CHECK_IP=no

Logging

The Bitnami PrestaShop Docker image sends the container logs to stdout. To view the logs:

docker logs prestashop

Or using Docker Compose:

docker-compose logs prestashop

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.

Maintenance

Backing up your container

To backup your data, configuration and logs, follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Stop the currently running container

docker stop prestashop

Or using Docker Compose:

docker-compose stop prestashop

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/prestashop-backups:/backups --volumes-from prestashop busybox \
  cp -a /bitnami/prestashop /backups/latest
Restoring a backup

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 PrestaShop container:

 $ docker run -d --name prestashop \
   ...
-  --volume /path/to/prestashop-persistence:/bitnami/prestashop \
+  --volume /path/to/prestashop-backups/latest:/bitnami/prestashop \
   bitnami/prestashop:latest
Upgrade this image

Bitnami provides up-to-date versions of MariaDB and PrestaShop, 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 PrestaShop 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/prestashop:latest

Step 2: Stop the running container

Stop the currently running container using the command

docker-compose stop prestashop

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 prestashop

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
