Open Journal Systems (OJS) is a journal management and publishing system that has been developed by the Public Knowledge Project through its federally funded efforts to expand and improve access to research.
This container was built based on buildpkg.sh from own pkp-ojs, so all the dependencies are already included and the software is ready to run. Also is built on top of Alpine Linux which is incredible lightweight.
docker run --name ojs \
-p 8080:80 -p 8443:443 \
-e SERVERNAME=... \
-v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime \
-d lucasdiedrich/ojs
Now just access http://127.0.0.1:8080/index/install and continue through web installation and finish your install and configs. To install automatically when the container init you can use OJS_CLI_INSTALL=1, and use the others environment variables to automatize the process.
All version tags can be found at Docker Hub Tags tab.
NAME | Default | Info |
---|---|---|
SERVERNAME | localhost | Used to generate httpd.conf and certificate |
OJS_CLI_INSTALL | 0 | Used to install ojs automatically when start container |
OJS_DB_HOST | localhost | Database host |
OJS_DB_USER | ojs | Database username |
OJS_DB_PASSWORD | ojs | Database password |
OJS_DB_NAME | ojs | Database name |
Volume | Info |
---|---|
/var/www/html/public | All public files |
/var/www/html/config.inc.php | If not provided a new one will be created |
/var/www/files | All uploaded files |
/etc/ssl/apache2/server.pem | SSL crt certificate |
/etc/ssl/apache2/server.key | SSL key certificate |
/var/log/apache2 | Apache2 Logs |
/var/www/html/.htaccess | Apache2 HTAccess |
/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/custom.ini | PHP5 custom.init |
/etc/localtime | To set container clock as the host clock |
The update process is easy and straightforward, once the container running the new version just run the exec command below, and it will upgrade the OJS database and files.
docker exec -it ojs /usr/local/bin/ojs-upgrade
After the upgrade diff your config.inc.php with the version of the new OJS version, in some new version new variables can be added to the file.
There is an example docker-compose docker-compose, to run it download the raw file to an folder and exec the command below:
docker-compose up
By default at the start of Apache one script will check if the SSL certificate is valid and its CN matches your SERVERNAME, if don't it will generate a new one. The certificate can be overwrite using the volume mount.
By default the restful_url are enable and apache its already configured, so there is no need to use index.php over url.
Any custom php configuration can be made at /etc/php5/conf.d/0-ojs.ini, there are some optimized variables already, you can check at php.ini.
