Joomla + MariaDB

Joomla is a general-purpose content management system, halfway between the simplicity of WordPress and the flexibility of Drupal, with a built-in access level and multilingual system.

This Stack installs it with MariaDB.

Services included

In addition to the application, the Stack brings up MariaDB, an nginx that receives traffic on port 80, an automatic backups service, and the web file manager.

Getting started

Install the Stack and bring it up:

bash

docker-deploy-stack --stack php/joomla-mariadb
cd /root/stack/php/joomla-mariadb
docker compose up -d

This is a ready-to-use application: you don’t need to upload any code. Themes, plugins, extensions, and files that you upload from its administration panel are stored in the Stack and included in the automatic backups.

Configuration

Editable values are in the Stack’s .env file:

Variable	Default	What it’s for
`APP_PORT`	`80`	Public port of the Stack.
`APP_ENV`	`development`	Application environment.
`DB_NAME`	`joomla`	Database name.

After changing them, apply the changes with docker compose up -d.
