ILIAS Docker Container

This features an ILIAS docker container which is set up to be reusable and just serves as a basic ILIAS installation to toy around with.

Setup

For now, use docker-compose up --build --detach to build and run it. --detach is not needed if you're not in a need of a free terminal and/or want to see the log.

By default, the container will be available with at port :8082.

Volumes

The mysql-db container will save its data to the shared/db folder in the folder with the docker-compose.yaml, as it is being mounted to /var/lib/mysql inside of the container.

The ilias-server container will save and load its data to and from shared/ilias_html (mounted to /var/www/html/ilias), which is the ILIAS code base and its directly written data, and shared/ilias_data (mounted to /opt/iliasdata), which is the ILIAS shared data (e.g. clients, user data, etc).

Setting up the ILIAS can be done with extracting any supported version into the shared/ilias_html folder. Any version of ILIAS requiring PHP 7 is supported, explicitly tested with ILIAS 5.4.19.

Creating and Restoring Dumps

The dump contains the ILIAS data, MySQL data and user data (e.g. client data, etc).

Create Dump

There are two possibilities:

• Add -e createdump="yes" -v /home/usernameOfDockerHost:/data/share to docker run. The dump will appear on the host in /home/usernameOfDockerHost/ilias.tar.gz
• Enter a running container with docker exec -it <conatinerid> /bin/bash and run /data/resources/createiliasdump.sh --target /data/share/ilias.tar.gz
  Leave the container with exit and run docker cp <containerid>:/data/share/ilias.tar.gz /home/usernameOfDockerHost to copy the file to your host.

Restore from Dump

There are two possibilities:

• Put the dump to /home/usernameOfDockerHost/ilias.tar.gz and add -e restorefromdump="yes" -v /home/usernameOfDockerHost:/data/share to docker run.
• Run docker cp <containerid>:/home/usernameOfDockerHost/ilias.tar.gz /data/share to copy the dump file from your host to the container.
  Enter a running container with docker exec -it <conatinerid> /bin/bash and run /data/resources/restoreilias.sh --src /data/share/ilias.tar.gz

Admin Login

When setup is completed, login with the following credentials:

If you need Java in your ILIAS installation, run apt-get install -y openjdk-7-jdk in your running container (enter it with docker exec -it containername bash) or Dockerfile
