⁠phpBB2 for Kubernetes

Released in 2002 and last patched in 2008, phpBB⁠ version 2 is a perfect piece of software for cloud migration. This repository contains a few patches to make it ready, containing entry point script that installs default MySQL tables if necessary, together with an admin user (password is also admin, please change it after install).

The container is configured via following environment variables:

• PHPBB_DB_HOST – MySQL database host (port is always 3306)
• PHPBB_DB_NAME – MySQL database name
• PHPBB_DB_USER, PHPBB_DB_PASSWORD – database login
• PHPBB_SERVER_NAME, PHPBB_SERVER_PORT – server name and port for internal redirects
• PHPBB_USE_HTTPS – set to 1 to use https in internal redirect and cookies, otherwise set 0
• PHPBB_X_FORWARDED_FOR_INDEX – set to parse user IP from X-Forwarded-For; use -1 for last element, -2 for second-to-last (as you get from GCP load balancers); this is necessary for proper session processing, as phpBB restricts session to /24 ranges
