Jirafeau in Docker

Jirafeau is a small PHP application so running it inside a docker is pretty straightforward.

Get Jirafeau's docker image

Pull docker image from Docker Hub

docker pull mojo42/jirafeau

Build your own docker image

git clone https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau.git
cd Jirafeau
docker build -t mojo42/jirafeau:latest .

Run Jirafeau image

Once you have your Jirafeau's image, you can run a quick & dirty Jirafeau using:

docker run -d -p 8000:80 mojo42/jirafeau

and then connect on locahost:8000 and proceed to installation.

An other way to run Jirafeau (in a more controlled way) is to mount your Jirafeau's reprository in /www folder so your data are outside the container. This way, you will be able to easily make backups, upgrade Jirafeau, change configuration and develop Jirafeau.

docker run -d -p 8000:80 -v$(pwd):/www mojo42/jirafeau

There are also other ways to manage your container (like docker's volumes) but this is out of the scope of this documentation.

Few notes

• SSL is currently not enabled in docker's image for the moment
• var-... folder where lives all uploaded data is protected from direct access
• Image has been made using Alpine Linux with lighttpd which makes the container very light and start very quickly
