sneaky/egroupware repository overview

⁠General info

This dockerfile builds an eGroupware container. As You can see in the dockerfile, it is based on php 5.6. You'll also need a MySQL or MariaDB container for the database. I wanted to install for personal use the visol/egroupware container, but I couldn't reach jrenggli at visol and it seems he doesn't update his egroupware dockerfile- so I made my own and not just updated his file.

⁠Egroupware

⁠General

Egroupware is a very powerful open source groupware programm. It consists of a calendar app, contacts, infolog, project manager, ticket system and more. If you need more information on egroupware, just take a look here: www.egroupware.org⁠ Although this is a unofficial dockerfile, it uses just the official sources!

⁠Version

This dockerfile installs Version 16.1.20160810 of egroupware

⁠1. Installation / Configuration

⁠a) helpful script

For starting, stopping and updating my egroupware containers, I use my script container_control.sh, which You can download from github⁠

⁠or b) without script

⁠Data directories (storage)

First, it would be wise to create directories for storing everything in place. I usually pack everything into subfolders under the same superior directory. This way it's easier to create a backup using rsync. (Remember to stop the database before creating a backup!) I suggest the following directory hierarchy:

/home/egroupware/xxx/mysql -> Database /home/egroupware/xxx/data -> Egroupware Files, backups and header.inc

mkdir -p /home/egroupware/xxx/mysql /home/egroupware/xxx/data

-> Please replace xxx with Your favourite name! <-

⁠start mysql container

docker run -d --name mysql-egroupware-xxx \
-e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=123456 \
-e MYSQL_DATABASE=egroupware \
-e MYSQL_USER=egroupware \
-e MYSQL_PASSWORD=123456 \
-v /home/egroupware/xxx/mysql:/var/lib/mysql mysql

-> Please replace xxx with Your favourite name and 123456 with Your password! <-

⁠start egroupware container

To start the egroupware container, just use:

docker run -d \
--name egroupware-xxx \
-p 4321:80 \
-v /home/egroupware/xxx/data:/var/lib/egroupware \
--link mysql-egroupware-xxx:mysql \
sneaky/egroupware	

-> Please replace xxx with Your favourite name and 4321 with the port projected for using. If You don't want to map the port, just leave the line "-p 4321:80"<-

⁠2. Setup Egroupware

⁠a) First time logging in?

If You started the image for first time, You have to login via

http://ipOfYourServer:4321/

You don't have to add databse info during installation manually - I updated the files

• class.setup_header.inc.php
• class.setup_process.inc.php this way the installation is a bit more automated.

⁠or b) Logging in with existing database and data?

If the file header.inc.php already exists (former installation), the docker-entrypoint.sh updates the database host ip and port in the header.inc.php automaticly!

If there's a new version of egroupware, You have to start the setup and update the database! (But egroupware will tell You this!)

⁠3. Additional info

Change all passwords from 123456 to Your own password!

Remember to put the following informations external, otherwise all data will be lost after updating the image:

• folder for egroupware
• Mysql Database files (see above for example directory hierarchy!)
