installation process is bit vague

[116davinder]

can anyone share the proper installation process with nginx, I am trying to create a Dockerfile for it?

[Matthew-Jenkins]

You will need to use php-fpm if you use nginx. If you're running containers, you can either bundle nginx and fpm together in a single container, or you can have nginx be seperate in a pod.

Something like
FROM alpine:latest
RUN apk update
RUN apk add nginx php7 php7-fpm php7-opcache git
RUN git clone https://github.com/AndrewPaglusch/FlashPaper.git /flashpaper
RUN git clone your_repo_here /your_repo_here
ENTRYPOINT /your_repo_here/your_entrypoint_script.sh (spawning nginx and php-fpm)

[Matthew-Jenkins]

Your entrypoint script would be something like

#!/bin/bash
nginx -c /your_repo_here/nginx.conf &
php-fpm -c /your_repo_here/php-fpm.conf

Thanks, let me try it and see !

@Matthew-Jenkins, I am able to do quite a bit now but still unable to start application.

here is what I have done so far
$ cat Dockerfile

FROM alpine:latest

RUN apk update

RUN apk add nginx php7 php7-fpm php7-opcache git

RUN git clone https://github.com/AndrewPaglusch/FlashPaper.git /flashpaper

RUN chmod -R 775 /flashpaper

RUN chown -R nginx:nginx /flashpaper

COPY container /container

COPY container/php-fpm.conf /etc/php7/php-fpm.conf

RUN mkdir -p /var/run/nginx && \
    mkdir -p /var/run/php-fpm && \
    chown -R nginx:nginx /var/run/
    
RUN chmod +x /container/entrypoint.sh

VOLUME ["/flashpaper/data"]

ENTRYPOINT ["/container/entrypoint.sh"]

$ cat container/default.conf

events { }
http {
	server {
	    listen 80;
	    #server_name  0.0.0.0;

	    # note that these lines are originally from the "location /" block
	    root   /flashpaper;
	    index index.php index.html index.htm;

	    location / {
		try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
	    }

	    location ~ .php$ {
		try_files $uri =404;
		fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
		fastcgi_index index.php;
		fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
		#include fastcgi_params;
	    }
	}
}

$ cat container/php-fpm.conf

Any idea? what I am missing here?

[Matthew-Jenkins]

You have 2 listens in your fpm config.

You have 2 listens in your fpm config.

that doesn't solve my problem :( . Any other suggestion.

Hey @116davinder,

Can you give the code in #42 a try? @AndrewPaglusch and I worked on adding Docker support for FlashPaper tonight. It's working locally for me and also on my test server.

[116davinder]

@mattburchett, I really appreciate your fast work mate, thanks a lot.
I will give it a try tomorrow morning and let you know if there is an issue.

[116davinder]

@mattburchett, it works now. I will wait for your PR to be merged.
Thanks a lot!
