docker-compose config for Squiz Matrix CMS

Disclaimer

This fairly shonky and intended for internal test and dev servers only. Do not use in production.

What is it?

A docker-compose configuration to quickly run up an instance of Squiz Matrix CMS:

Suports Matrix 5.5.3.0+ (last tested with 5.5.6.0)
PHP 7.3 with V8js support
Postgres DB container
Redis session storage
Supports automatic installation of extensions on startup
Cut down "core" Matrix with old extensions removed
- bulkmail
- ecommerce
- ldap
- marketo
- sharepoint
- ~~sugar~~ (Not removed anymore because User has a hard dependency on it 😞)
- trim

tl;dr

git clone git@github.com:cjc/composed-matrix.git
cd compose-matrix

#set up environment variables for port and domain
echo HTTP_PORT=81 > .env #defaults to 80
echo MATRIX_URL=127.0.0.1:81 >> .env #can be blank
echo POSTGRES_PASSWORD=madeup >> .env #required

#download Matrix source tgz to php/src/
lynx https://matrix.squiz.net/releases/vm

docker-compose up -d
docker-compose logs -f

#Wait for installation to complete, should see "NOTICE: ready to handle connections"
lynx 127.0.0.1:81/_admin
