Deployment

To deploy the app using docker simply go to the docker folder in this repo and type the following commands.

$ docker build -t [mysql image name] ./mysql
$ docker build -t [apache-php image name] ./apache-php/
$ docker run -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=[mysql root password] -v [local mysql folder]:/var/lib/mysql --name [mysql container name] -d [mysql image name]

//wait a momment for the mysql container to start (about 30 seconds at least)

$ docker exec -it [mysql container name] /home/bookstore/initdb.sh
$ export MYSQL_IP=`docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' [mysql container name]`
$ docker run -e MYSQL_HOST=$MYSQL_IP -e MYSQL_PORT=3306 -p [http port]:80 -v [local storage folder]:/var/www/bookstore/public/books --name [apache container name] -d [apache-php image name]

where

• mysql image name: Is the name assigned to the mysql image e.g. user1-mysql
• apache-php image name: Is the name assigned to the apache-php image e.g. user1-apache-php
• mysql root password: Is the password associated to the root user in the mysql container. e.g. 1234
• local mysql foler: Is the local path to store the mysql data. e.g. 1 (linux). /home/user1/docker/mysql e.g. 2 (windows) /c/Users/user1/docker/mysql
• mysql container name: Is the name associated with the running mysql container e.g. bookstore-mysql
• mysql ip: Is the ip address assigned to the mysql container. must be a valid ip address of the subnet. e.g. 203.0.113.100
• http port: Is the port to access to the apache server. e.g. 8080
• local storage foler: Is the local path to store the books previews (PDFs). e.g. 1 (linux). /home/user1/docker/books e.g. 2 (windows) /c/Users/user1/docker/books
• apache container name: Is the name associated with the running apache-php container e.g. bookstore-apache-php

example

docker build -t user1-mysql ./mysql
docker build -t user1-apache ./apache-php/
docker run -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=1234 -v /home/lmejias3/data/mysql2:/var/lib/mysql --name mysql-test -d user1-mysql

//wait a momment for the mysql container to start (about 30 seconds at least)

docker exec -it mysql-test /home/bookstore/initdb.sh
export MYSQL_IP=`docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' mysql-test`
docker run -e MYSQL_HOST=$MYSQL_IP -e MYSQL_PORT=3306 -p 8080:80 -v /home/lmejias3/data/books2:/var/www/bookstore/public/books --name apache-php-test -d user1-apache

Now you can access the application by a web browser using the ip of the machine where docker is running and the http assigned port

e.g. (http://10.131.137.242:8080)
