Docker for Magento
Built on webdevops/hhvm-nginx for speed and stability. Has useful extras like cron and supervisord. Specifically designed for securely serving Magento sites.
Setting up
Configure your site in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ like this:
server {
server_name yoursite.com;
root /var/www;
include magento_server;
set $mage_run_code "default";
set $mage_run_type "website";
}
The variables $mage_run_code and $mage_run_type are passed to Magento as environment variables.
Use this to control frontend stores instead of hacking index.php.
For development sites it is possible to add set $mage_is_developer_mode true; as well,
this will stop on any error and print in full.
Add another configuration for each frontend store.
Copy your project files to the server root, /var/www in this example.
Instead of copying you could mount project files as a data volume,
this means a smaller image and changes are preserved too.
Cron
Add an executable file to /etc/cron.d/ like this:
MAILTO=""
* * * * * application /var/www/cron.sh
Mail is a work in progress.
A word about security
The magento_server
file used above forbids all files, then whitelists only those which are expressly needed.
Currently those include just js, media, and skin directories.
To allow a path it only needs a location block. For instance, if you want a custom error skin then add this to your server block:
location /errors/custom/css/ {}
location /errors/custom/images/ {}
(Error skins are enabled in errors/design.xml)
