DokuWiki docker container

To run image:

docker run -d -p 80:80 --name my_wiki mprasil/dokuwiki 

You can now visit the install page to configure your new DokuWiki wiki.

For example, if you are running container locally, you can acces the page in browser by going to http://127.0.0.1/install.php

Run a specific version

When running the container you can specify version to download from docker registry by using couple provided tags like stable which contains current stable release (this is generaly the same as latest) or oldstable. You can also use specific version like 2016-06-26a.

To upate the image:

First stop your container

docker stop my_wiki

Then run new container just to hold the volumes

docker run --volumes-from my_wiki --name my_wiki_data busybox true

Now you can remove old container

docker rm my_wiki

..and run a new one (you built, pulled before)

docker run -d -p 80:80 --name my_wiki --volumes-from my_wiki_data mprasil/dokuwiki 

afterwards you can remove data container if you want

docker rm my_wiki_data

(or keep it for next update, takes no space anyway..)

Optimizing your wiki

Lighttpd configuration also includes rewrites, so you can enable nice URLs in settings (Advanced -> Nice URLs, set to ".htaccess")

For better performance enable xsendfile in settings. Set to proprietary lighttpd header (for lighttpd < 1.5)

Build your own

docker build -t my_dokuwiki .
