OpenCart Docker

This repository should make it super simple to run Opencart in docker containers.

Installation

1. Firstly, create a project folder and place the OpenCart files insde there.
2. Add the opencart-docker files:

• if you are using Git already you could add it as a submodule:

    $ git submodule add https://github.com/DockerIt/opencart-docker.git
  

• if not, either copy the files or clone into the project directory:

    $ git clone https://github.com/DockerIt/opencart-docker.git
  

3. It should look a bit like this:

    |-- project-root
    |   |-- opencart-docker
    |   |-- tests
    |   |-- upload
    |   |-- vendor
    |   |-- build.xml
    |   |-- changelog.md
    |   |-- etc...
   

4. Copy the .env-example to .env and make any changes to the environment variables that you want.

    $ cp .env-example .env
   

5. Now, in the opencart-docker folder, we want run it and serve Opencart. The simplest way is:

    $ docker-compose up -d apache mysql
   

6. Finally we need to be able to access the site. We need to put the docker ip address into the HOSTS file. This will be different on different operating systems.

Linux

1. Simple. Docker is native so open /etc/hosts and add

    127.0.0.1 opencart.test
   

Windows

1. Firstly, make sure the docker-machine is up and running and type the command docker-machine ip

2. Copy this value, usually 192.168.99.100

3. Add this to your HOSTS file (usually) C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts

    192.168.99.100 opencart.test
   

4. Visit http://opencart.test/ :-)

5. The OpenCart install is now really simple.

6. Create the config.php files in both upload/ and upload/admin/.

7. In the database configuration use the values in .env. The defaults are:

   • hostname: mysql
   • username: opencart
   • password: password
   • database: opencart

8. Click continue and then OpenCart should install and you should be able to access your store!
