Mautic Docker image and examples

This version refers to Docker images and examples for Mautic 5. If you would like information about older versions, see https://github.com/mautic/docker-mautic/tree/mautic4.

Versions

all Mautic 5 Docker images follow the following naming stategy.

<major.minor.patch>-<variant>

There are some defaults if parts are omitted:

• <minor.patch> is the latest release patch version in the latest minor version.

some examples:

• 5-apache: latest stable version of Mautic 5 of the apache variant
• 5.0-fpm: latest version in the 5.0 minor release in the fpm variant
• 5.0.3-apache: specific point release of the apache variant

Variants

The Docker images exist in 2 variants:

• apache: image based on the official php:apache images.
• fpm: image based on the official php:fpm images.

The latest supported Mautic PHP version is used the moment of generating of the image.

Each variant contains:

• the needed dependencies to run Mautic (e.g. PHP modules)
• the Mautic codebase installed via composer (see mautic/recommended-project)
• the needed files and configuration to run as a specific role

See the examples explanation below how you could use them.

Roles

each image can be started in 3 modes:

• mautic_web: runs the Mautic webinterface
• mautic_worker: runs the worker processes to consume the messenger queues
• mautic_cron: runs the defined cronjobs

This allows you to use different scaling strategies to run the workers or crons, without having to maintain separate images.
The mautic_cron and mautic_worker require the codebase anyhow, as they execute console commands that need to bootstrap the full application.

Examples

The examples folder contains examples of docker-compose setups that use the Docker images.

Please take into account the purpose of those examples:
it shows how it could be used, not how it should be used.
Do not use those examples in production without reviewing, understanding and configuring them.

• basic: standard example using the apache image with doctrine as async queue.
• fpm-nginx: example using the fpm image in combination with an nginx with doctrine as async queue.
• rabbitmq-worker: example using the apache image with rabbitmq as async queue.

Building your own images

You can build your own images easily using the docker build command in the root of this directory:

docker build . -f apache/Dockerfile -t mautic/mautic:5-apache
docker build . -f fpm/Dockerfile -t mautic/mautic:5-fpm

Persistent storage

The images by default foresee following volumes to persist data (not taking into account e.g. database or queueing data, as that's not part of these images).

• config: the local config folder containing local.php, parameters_local.php, ...
• var/logs: the folder with logs
• docroot/media: the folder with uploaded and generated media files

Configuration and customizing

Configuration

The following environment variables can be used to configure how your setup should behave. There are 2 files where those settings can be set:

• the .env file: Should be used for all general variables for Mysql, PHP, ...
• the .mautic_env file: Should be used for all Mautic specific variables.

Those variables can also be set via the environment key on services defined in the docker-compose.yml file.

• MYSQL_HOST: the MySQL host to connect to
• MYSQL_PORT: the MySQL port to use
• MYSQL_DATABASE: the database name to be used by Mautic
• MYSQL_USER: the MySQL user that has access to the database
• MYSQL_PASSWORD: the password for the MySQL user
• MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: the password for the MySQL root user that is able to configure the above users and database

• PHP_INI_VALUE_DATE_TIMEZONE: defaults to UTC
• PHP_INI_VALUE_MEMORY_LIMIT: defaults to 512M
• PHP_INI_VALUE_UPLOAD_MAX_FILESIZE: defaults to 512M

• PHP_INI_VALUE_MAX_EXECUTION_TIME: defaults to 300

Mautic behaviour settings

• DOCKER_MAUTIC_ROLE: which role does the container has to perform.
  Defaults to mautic_web, other supported values are mautic_worker and mautic_cron.
• DOCKER_MAUTIC_LOAD_TEST_DATA: should the test data be loaded on start or not.

  Defaults to 2
• DOCKER_MAUTIC_WORKERS_CONSUME_FAILED: Number of workers to start consuming failed e-mails.
  Defaults to 2

Mautic settings

Technically, every setting of Mautic you can set via the UI or via the local.php file can be set as environment variable.

e.g. the messenger_dsn_setting can be set via the MAUTIC_MESSENGER_DSN_HIT environment variable. See the general Mautic documentatation for more info.

Customization

Currently this image has no easy way to extend Mautic (e.g. adding extra composer dependencies or installing extra plugins or themes).
This is an ongoing effort we hope to support in an upcoming 5.x release.

For now, please build your own images based on the official ones to add the needed dependencies, plugins and themes.
