docker-flox

This is a docker image for flox built from the current master branch. You can find the image on Docker Hub and the source code can be found here with a mirror on github.

Usage

This is a php-fpm based image, which means you need another container to act as the webserver. For this I would recommend nginx and you can find an example nginx config below.

The container can be configured with environment variables and you can see the list of options below. You can also specify an arbitrary UID and GID for the container to run as with the default being 1000 for both.

The container support using Mariadb/MySQL or PostreSQL as the database instead of sqlite, and is the reason why the image is currently being built from master instead of the latest release.

OBS: The very first time you start the container FLOX_DB_INIT should be set to true. Afterwards it should be set to false and the container should be restarted. FLOX_DB_INIT should only be set when you want to initialise a new database. If you don't set it to false after the first run then the container will failed to start.
