You can also dockerize your helpdesk project to easily deploy your setup from within a docker container.

To build an image, simply switch to your project's directory and run the following command:

$ docker build -t {IMAGE_NAME} .

Upon successfull execution, this will create a docker image with the specified tag using the -t option. You can use this image to deploy your helpdesk project using either docker run or docker-compose.

Deploying Containers Containers can be launched using one of the two given methods:

Using Docker Run You can simply launch a standalone container using the following command:

If you wish to use a local database within container

$ docker run -dit -p {AVAILABLE_PORT}:80
-e MYSQL_USER={MYSQL_USER}
-e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD={MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD}
-e MYSQL_PASSWORD={MYSQL_PASSWORD}
-e MYSQL_DATABASE={MYSQL_DATABASE}
--name {CONTAINER_NAME} {IMAGE_NAME}

If you wish to use an external database outside container

$ docker run -dit -p {AVAILABLE_PORT}:80 --name {CONTAINER_NAME} {IMAGE_NAME} Using Docker Compose Create a configuration file docker-compose.yaml and set it's configuration details as follows:

version: '3' services: uvdesk: image: {IMAGE_NAME}:latest tty: true environment: MYSQL_USER: {MYSQL_USER} MYSQL_PASSWORD: {MYSQL_PASSWORD} MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: {MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD} MYSQL_DATABASE: {MYSQL_DATABASE} ports: - {AVAILABLE_PORT}:80 Once you've created the configuration file, deploy your containers as services using the following command:

$ docker-compose up -d -f {PATH_TO_DOCKER_FILE} References:

IMAGE_NAME: Name of the image to being build CONTAINER_NAME: Name of the created container AVAILABLE_PORT: Map port 80 (apache) within the container to an available port on your host MYSQL_USER: MySQL user name MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: MySQL root user password MYSQL_PASSWORD: MySQL user password MYSQL_DATABASE: MySQL database name
