### Automatic
#### Exec install shell script for auto installation and configuration
download with
```
git clone https://github.com/damalis/full-stack-apache2-grav-for-everyone-with-docker-compose.git
```
Open a terminal and `cd` to the folder in which `docker-compose.yml` is saved and run:
```
cd full-stack-apache2-grav-for-everyone-with-docker-compose
chmod +x install.sh
LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 ./install.sh # LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 if not os language english
```
### Manual
#### Requirements
Make sure you have the latest versions of **Docker** and **Docker Compose** installed on your machine.
- [How install docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/)
- [How install docker compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
Clone this repository or copy the files from this repository into a new folder.
Make sure to [add your user to the `docker` group](https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/linux-postinstall/#manage-docker-as-a-non-root-user).
#### Configuration
download with
```
git clone https://github.com/damalis/full-stack-apache2-grav-for-everyone-with-docker-compose.git
```
Open a terminal and `cd` to the folder in which `docker-compose.yml` is saved and run:
```
cd full-stack-apache2-grav-for-everyone-with-docker-compose
```
Copy the example environment into `.env`
```
cp env.example .env
```
Edit the `.env` file to change values of
|```LOCAL_TIMEZONE```|```DOMAIN_NAME```|```DIRECTORY_PATH```|```LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL```|```SSL_SNIPPET```|
Variable
Value
LOCAL_TIMEZONE
to see local timezones
DIRECTORY_PATH
pwd at command line
SSL_SNIPPET
localhost
echo 'Generated Self-signed SSL Certificate at localhost'
remotehost
certbot certonly --webroot --webroot-path /tmp/acme-challenge --rsa-key-size 4096 --non-interactive --agree-tos --no-eff-email --force-renewal --email ${LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL} -d ${DOMAIN_NAME} -d www.${DOMAIN_NAME}
#### Installation
Firstly: will create external volume
```
docker volume create --driver local --opt type=none --opt device=${PWD}/certbot --opt o=bind certbot-etc
```
Localhost ssl: Generate Self-signed SSL Certificate with guide [mkcert repository](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert).
```
docker compose up -d
```
then reloading for webserver ssl configuration
```
docker container restart webserver
```
The containers are now built and running. You should be able to access the Grav installation with the configured IP in the browser address. `https://DOMAIN_NAME`.
For convenience you may add a new entry into your hosts file.
### Portainer
```
docker compose -f portainer-docker-compose.yml -p portainer up -d
```
manage docker with [Portainer](https://www.portainer.io/) is the definitive container management tool for Docker, Docker Swarm with it's highly intuitive GUI and API.
You can also visit `https://DOMAIN_NAME:9001` to access portainer after starting the containers.
### Usage
#### You could manage docker containers without command line with portainer.
#### Here’s a quick reference of commonly used Docker Compose commands
```
docker ps -a # Lists all containers managed by the compose file
```
```
docker compose start # Starts previously stopped containers
```
```
docker compose stop # Stops all running containers
```
```
docker compose down # Stops and removes containers, networks, etc.
```
```
docker compose down -v # Add --volumes to remove volumes explicitly
```
```
docker rm -f $(docker ps -a -q) # Removes portainer and the other containers
```
```
docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q) # Removes all volumes
```
```
docker network prune # Remove all unused networks
```
```
docker system prune # Removes unused data (containers, networks, images, and optionally volumes)
```
```
docker system prune -a # Removes all unused images, not just dangling ones
```
```
docker rmi $(docker image ls -q) # Removes portainer and the other images
```
```
docker container logs container_name_or_id # Shows logs from all services
```
#### Project from existing source
Copy all files into a new directory:
```
docker compose up -d # Starts services in detached mode (in the background)
```
#### Docker run reference
[https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/compose/](https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/compose/)
#### Website
You should see the "GRAV" page in your browser. If not, please check if your PHP installation satisfies Grav's requirements.
```
https://DOMAIN_NAME
```
add or remove code in the ./php-fpm/php/conf.d/security.ini file for custom php.ini configurations
[https://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.php](https://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.php)
You should make changes custom host configurations ```./php-fpm/php-fpm.d/z-www.conf``` then must restart service, FPM uses php.ini syntax for its configuration file - php-fpm.conf, and pool configuration files.
[https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.fpm.configuration.php](https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.fpm.configuration.php)
```
docker container restart grav
```
add and/or remove grav site folders and files with any ftp client program in ```./grav``` folder.
You can also visit `https://DOMAIN_NAME` to access website after starting the containers.
#### Webserver
add or remove code in the ```./webserver/extra/httpd-ssl.conf``` file for custom apache2/httpd configurations
[https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/)
#### Database
Because Grav is a flat-file based CMS, meaning no database underpins it, the folder structure of your site is very important.
At the top level of your Grav installation the folder structure looks like:
```
/assets
/backup
/bin
/cache
/images
/logs
/system
/tmp
/vendor
/user
```
[https://learn.getgrav.org/17/basics/folder-structure](https://learn.getgrav.org/17/basics/folder-structure)
#### Redis
These options should go under the cache: group in your ```./grav/user/config/system.yaml```:
```
cache:
...
redis:
server: redis
port: 6379
```
[https://learn.getgrav.org/17/advanced/performance-and-caching#redis-specific-options](https://learn.getgrav.org/17/advanced/performance-and-caching#redis-specific-options)
#### Cache
The Cache section is where you can configure the site's caching settings. You can enable, disable, choose the method, and more.
[https://learn.getgrav.org/17/basics/grav-configuration#cache](https://learn.getgrav.org/17/basics/grav-configuration#cache)
#### backup
This will back up the all files and folders in html volumes, once per day, and write it to ```./backups``` with a filename like backup-2023-01-01T10-18-00.tar.gz
##### can run on a custom cron schedule
```BACKUP_CRON_EXPRESSION: '20 01 * * *'``` the UTC timezone.
