GLPI docker development environment

The docker development environment can be easilly instanciated by running the command docker compose up -d from the GLPI root directory.

Custom configuration

You can customize the docker services by creating a docker-compose.override.yaml file in the GLPI root directory.

HTTP server

By default, the HTTP port is published to on the 8080 port on the host machine. You can change it in the docker-compose.override.yaml file.

services:
  app:
    ports: !override
      - "9000:80"

The default uid/gid used by the docker container is 1000. If your host user uses different uid/gid, you may encounter file permissions issues. To prevent this, you can customize them using the corresponding build args in the docker-compose.override.yaml file.

services:
  app:
    build:
      args:
        HOST_GROUP_ID: "${HOST_GROUP_ID:-1000}"
        HOST_USER_ID: "${HOST_USER_ID:-1000}"

Database server

By default, the database service is not provided. You can add it in the docker-compose.override.yaml file.

services:
  database:
    container_name: "db"
    image: "mariadb:11.0"
    restart: "unless-stopped"
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "R00tP4ssw0rd"
      MYSQL_DATABASE: "glpi"
      MYSQL_USER: "glpi"
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: "P4ssw0rd"
    ports:
      - "3306:3306"
    volumes:
      - "db:/var/lib/mysql"

volumes:
  db:
