This directory contains files necessary to build the farmOS Docker image, along
with example docker-compose.yml files that can be used for running farmOS in
Docker containers.
To run a farmOS development environment, copy docker-compose.development.yml
into a new directory on your server, rename it to docker-compose.yml and run
docker compose up.
This example mounts a local www directory on the host as a volume in the
container at /opt/drupal, which allows for local development with an IDE.
To run a farmOS production environment, use docker-compose.production.yml as
an example for building your own configuration. It references a non-existent
farmos/farmos:x.y.z image version tag, which should be replaced with the most
recent farmOS stable release version.
This example mounts a local sites directory on the host as a volume in the
container at /opt/drupal/web/sites, which contains the site-specific settings
and uploaded files. This allows a production farmOS instance to be updated by
simply pulling a new image (and then manually running database updates via Drush
or /update.php). Everything outside of the sites directory will not be
preserved and will be replaced with the new official farmOS files.
Note that this example does not include a database. It is assumed that in production environments the database will be managed outside of Docker.
