= Docker container setup for Tjado's forum =

The tjado forum runs on elba.informatik.uni-freiburg.de.
It consists of the docker container "forum" with an Apache which serves the phpBB, and the docker container "mariadb" with the database.

=== Data locations ===
All data related to the docker container is in /home/docker/tjado/ . To migrate or backup the docker containers, just copying this folder is required.
The actual forum data (phpBB files) is located inside /home/docker/tjado/forum-data and the SQL database data is in /home/docker/tjado/docker-volumes/

=== How to stop/restart ===
To stop or restart the "forum" or "mariadb" container, use this command:

{{{cd /home/docker/tjado && sudo docker-compose restart forum}}}

.. or with stop instead of restart respectively.

(the cd is necessary because docker-compose accesses the docker-compose.yml in /home/docker/tjado for settings)

If the containers aren't running, use the following command:

{{{cd /home/docker/tjado && sudo-docker-compose up -d forum}}}

(and with mariadb respectively)

=== How to get a shell ===
The containers work similarly to a virtual machine which an own contained linux install.
To get a shell in the forum container with the Apache, run:

{{{cd /home/docker/tjado && sudo docker-compose exec forum /bin/bash}}}

and respectively for the forum:

{{{cd /home/docker/tjado && sudo docker-compose exec mariadb /bin/bash}}}

=== Detailed container settings ===
The detailed container settings can be found in /home/docker/tjado/docker-compose.yml for both containers, including the current SQL root password.
The build instructions (what software is preinstalled in the containers) can be found in /home/docker/tjado/dockerfile-forums/Dockerfile and /home/docker/tjado/dockerfile-mariadb/Dockerfile .
