⚠️ Take care of the changelogs because some breaking changes may happen between versions.

Supported tags, image variants and respective Dockerfile links

  • nginx and PHP7.2 embedded Dockerfile

    • nginx-72-9.5.5-latest, nginx-72-latest
    • nginx-72-9.5.4-latest, nginx-72-latest

Docker Informations

  • This image expose the following ports
Port Usage
80/tcp HTTP web application

see https part to known about ssl

  • This image takes theses environnements variables as parameters
Environment Type Usage
TZ String Contains the timezone
GLPI_REMOVE_INSTALLER Boolean (yes/no) Set to yes if it's not the first installation of glpi
GLPI_CHMOD_PATHS_FILES Boolean (yes/no) Set to yes to apply chmod/chown on /var/www/files (useful for host mount)
GLPI_INSTALL_PLUGINS String Comma separated list of plugins to install (see below)
PHP_MEMORY_LIMIT String see PHP memory_limit configuration
PHPFPM_PM String see PHPFPM pm configuration
PHPFPM_PM_MAX_CHILDREN Integer see PHPFPM pm.max_children configuration
PHPFPM_PM_START_SERVERS Integer see PHPFPM pm.start_servers configuration
PHPFPM_PM_MIN_SPARE_SERVERS Integer see PHPFPM pm.min_spare_servers configuration
PHPFPM_PM_MAX_SPARE_SERVERS Integer see PHPFPM pm.max_spare_servers configuration
PHPFPM_PM_PROCESS_IDLE_TIMEOUT Mixed see PHPFPM pm.process_idle_timeout configuration
PHPFPM_PM_MAX_REQUEST Integer see PHPFPM pm.max_request configuration

The GLPI_INSTALL_PLUGINS variable must contains the list of plugins to install (download and extract) before starting glpi. This environment variable is a comma separated list of plugins definitions. Each plugin definition must be like this "PLUGINNAME|URL". The PLUGINNAME is the name of the first folder in plugin archive and will be the glpi's name of the plugin. The URL is the full URL from which to download the plugin. This url can contains some compressed file extensions, in some case the installer script will not be able to extract it, so you can create an issue with specifying the unhandled file extension. These two items are separated by a pipe symbol.

To summarize, the GLPI_INSTALL_PLUGINS variable must follow the following skeleton GLPI_INSTALL_PLUGINS="name1|url1,name2|url2" For better example see at the end of this file.

  • The following volumes are exposed by this image
Volume Usage
/var/www/files The data path of GLPI
/var/www/config The configuration path of GLPI

Application Informations

HTTPS - SSL encryption

There are many different possibilities to introduce encryption depending on your setup.

As most of available docker image on the internet, I recommend using a reverse proxy in front of this image. This prevent me to introduce all ssl configurations parameters and also to prevent a limitation of the available parameters.

For example, you can use the popular nginx-proxy and docker-letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion containers or Traefik to handle this.

GLPI Cronjob

GLPI require a job to be run periodically. Starting from 3.0.0 release, this image does not provide any solution to handle this. I've choose to remove cron task from this image to respect docker convention and to prevent a clustered deploiement to run the cron on all cluster instances.

As compensation I provide a wrapper script that wrap the batch execution and return a json object with job execution details at /opt/scripts/cronwrapper.py

To ensure correct GLPI running please put this job in your common cron scheduler. On linux you can use the /etc/crontab file with a content similar to this one :

*/15 * * * * root docker ps | grep --quiet 'glpi' && docker exec --user www-data glpi /opt/scripts/cronwrapper.py --forward-stderr

Timezone issues

Timezone is handled at PHP level in the image since 2.4.2 version, but you might encounter issues if you use different timezone in your database engine. Please refer to the GLPI documentations to handle this at database level https://glpi-install.readthedocs.io/en/develop/timezones.html.

Todo

Installation

docker pull turgon37/glpi:nginx-72-latest

Usage

The first time you run this image, set the GLPI_REMOVE_INSTALLER variable to 'no', then after this first installation set it to 'yes' to remove the installer.

Without database link (you can use an ip address or a domain name in the installer gui)

docker run --name glpi --publish 8000:80 --volume data-glpi:/var/www/files --volume data-glpi-config:/var/www/config turgon37/glpi:nginx-56-latest

With database link (if you have any MySQL/MariaDB as a docker container)

Create dedicated network

docker network create glpi-network

Start a MySQL instance

docker run --name mysql -d --net glpi-network -e MYSQL_DATABASE=glpi -e MYSQL_USER=glpi -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=glpi -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root_password mysql

Start a GLPI instance

docker run --name glpi --publish 8000:80 --volume data-glpi:/var/www/files --volume data-glpi-config:/var/www/config --net glpi-network turgon37/glpi:nginx-56-latest
