dalimit/kayako repository overview

Dockerfile⁠

A standalone container to run Kayako⁠ built on top of alpine Linux.

This image contains:

• Nginx web server with PHP FPM
• Needed PHP extensions to run Kayako
• PHP cache accelerator (opcache)
• Postfix server for advanced mailing needs

⁠Usage

Create a Dockerfile to COPY your own Kayako's files into /srv/web.

Here is my usual working stack:

version: '3'
services:
    kayako:
        build:
            context: .
            dockerfile: Dockerfile
        links:
            - mysql:mysql
        volumes:
            - /path_to_logs:/srv/web/__swift/logs
            - /path_to_files:/srv/web/__swift/files
            - /path_to_geoip:/srv/web/__swift/geoip
        environment:
            KAYAKO_DB_HOSTNAME: mysql
            KAYAKO_DB_USERNAME: kayako_user
            KAYAKO_DB_PASSWORD: kayako_pwd
            KAYAKO_DB_NAME: kayako
    mysql:
        image: mysql:5.7
        volumes:
            - /path_to_db_data:/var/lib/mysql

⁠Kayako Configuration

It is done via environment variable

⁠PHP Configuration

If you want to customise your PHP configuration, you want to COPY your .ini file into /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/. It will override the default configuration.

⁠Postfix configuration

There is few environment variables to configure the postfix server, feel free to ask for more settings.

⁠SMTP authentication using SASL

The followings only apply if variable RELAY_HOST is used:
