⁠GLPI – IT Asset Management and Helpdesk

This Docker image provides an easy way to deploy GLPI⁠ — the powerful open-source IT asset management and service desk software.

The image is built on top of php:8.2-apache, includes all required PHP extensions for GLPI (such as intl, gd, ldap, exif, opcache), and is configured to run with Apache.

Security has been improved with safer PHP session settings (session.cookie_httponly=On, session.use_strict_mode=On), and the image is ready to use in both development and production environments, though further hardening (like HTTPS and stricter Apache configuration) is recommended for production use.

⁠🚀 Quick Start with Docker Compose and .env

You can deploy GLPI by defining your environment variables in a .env file and using the provided docker-compose.yml.

⁠1. Create a .env file

# Database configuration
MYSQL_HOST=db
MYSQL_DATABASE=glpi
MYSQL_USER=glpiuser
MYSQL_PASSWORD=glpipassword

# MariaDB root password (used internally)
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=rootpassword

# Port exposed on the host
GLPI_PORT=8081

⁠2. Use this docker-compose.yml

services:
  glpi:
    image: miguerubsk/glpi-arm64:latest
    container_name: glpi
    ports:
      - "${GLPI_PORT}:80"
    volumes:
      - glpi_data:/var/www/html
    environment:
      - MYSQL_HOST=${MYSQL_HOST}
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=${MYSQL_DATABASE}
      - MYSQL_USER=${MYSQL_USER}
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=${MYSQL_PASSWORD}
    depends_on:
      - db

  db:
    image: mariadb:10.5
    container_name: db
    environment:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=${MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD}
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=${MYSQL_DATABASE}
      - MYSQL_USER=${MYSQL_USER}
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=${MYSQL_PASSWORD}
    volumes:
      - db_data:/var/lib/mysql

volumes:
  glpi_data:
  db_data:

⁠3. Start the containers

docker-compose up -d

Once started, open your browser and navigate to:

http://localhost:8081

Or use your server’s IP address instead of localhost.

⁠🧼 Cleanup

To stop and remove all services and volumes:

docker-compose down -v

To restart from scratch:

docker-compose up -d

⁠🔐 Notes on Security

• session.cookie_httponly=On and session.use_strict_mode=On are enabled to enhance session security.
• All required PHP extensions including opcache and exif are installed to improve performance and media handling.
• For production deployments, it is recommended to serve behind an HTTPS reverse proxy (e.g., Traefik or NGINX).
• ⚠️ By default, Apache serves from /var/www/html. If you wish to restrict access to non-public files, consider setting DocumentRoot to /var/www/html/public.
