3. Docker Images
● Ortus Solutions has built and supports a few docker images, the most
common and popular
○ ortussolutions/commandbox
https://hub.docker.com/r/ortussolutions/commandbox/
● Ortus Solutions has built one especially for ContentBox
○ Adds several bells and whistles to help get your ContentBox app ready to deploy to docker
○ ContentBox Image updated for Version 4.0 release.
4. CommandBox Docker Image
https://hub.docker.com/r/ortussolutions/commandbox/
● Gives you commandbox, ready to go.
● Run any CF Engine or WAR file
● Use CFConfig to configure your cfml engine
● Use environment values for overrides
● Put your files in the /app directory and start the server of your choice
Your app is yours, and how you set it up, config it, is all up to you.
8. ContentBox Image - Express version
● The express version uses an in memory H2 database.
● Perfect for setting up for testing.
● If you start with the express=true and install=true you can install a fresh
contentbox site into the H2 database
docker run -p 8080:8080
-e express=true
-e install=true
ortussolutions/contentbox
9. ContentBox Image - Persisting Data
Docker doesn’t care about your data / files.
If you want to keep it, persist it.
Here we mount 2 volumes into the H2 data folder and the media folder
docker run -p 8080:8080
-e express=true
-e install=true
-v `pwd`/contentbox-db:/data/contentbox/db
-v `pwd`/contentbox-media:/app/includes/shared/media
ortussolutions/contentbox
10. ContentBox Image - Environment Variables
This image allows you to pass in a series of environment variables to default your
values when installing ContentBox
● Express
● Install
● FWREINIT_PW
● SESSION_STORAGE
● DISTRIBUTED_CACHE
● H2_DIR
● contentbox_default_*
● ORM_SECONDARY_CACHE
● ORM_DIALECT
11. ContentBox Image - Database Connections
● To programmatically configure the database on container start, environment
variables which represent your datasource configuration should be provided.
There are two patterns supported:
○ DB_DRIVER configuration - which may be used for Adobe Coldfusion servers
○ DB_CLASS configuration - which configures a datasource by JDBC driver and
connection string.
14. ContentBox Image - Distributed Cache
● By default, this image is configured to use the connected database as a caching
storage as well. This will allow you to distribute your stack with pseudo-caching
enabled.
● However, if you would like to have a real distributed cache like Redis or Couchbase
connected to your images, you will need to use the appropriate CacheBox providers
and your own custom CacheBox.cfc configuration file. For an example of using Redis,
check out our compose repository:
https://github.com/Ortus-Solutions/docker-contentbox-distributed
15. What if I have a ContentBox site already?
Two Options
● Extract your changes from your old site and mount/copy them into
ContentBox’s Docker Image - let’s look at that first
● Update your existing site to use some ContentBox Docker Image magic - we’ll
look at this in a little while
16. Let’s startup a site with ContentBox image
● docker run -p 8080:8080
-e 'cfconfig_adminPassword=password'
-e "DB_CLASS=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"
-e "DB_CONNECTION_STRING=jdbc:mysql://172.17.0.4:3306/golfgk?useUnicode=
true&characterEncoding=UTF-8&useLegacyDatetimeCode=true"
-e "DB_USER=root"
-e "DB_PASSWORD=secretpassword"
ortussolutions/contentbox
http://127.0.0.1:8080/
17. Folder Structure - Where are my Files?
Working with Docker where everything is in the image already is a little weird to
say the least.
You only need what is different in your local files
● Mount the persistent files as a volume
● Mount / Copy the Changes
18. Let’s add our Media into the Image
docker run -p 8080:8080 -e 'cfconfig_adminPassword=password' -e
"DB_CLASS=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver" -e
"DB_CONNECTION_STRING=jdbc:mysql://172.17.0.4:3306/golfgk?useUnicode=true&characterE
ncoding=UTF-8&useLegacyDatetimeCode=true" -e "DB_USER=root" -e
"DB_PASSWORD=r3@lc@m@"
-v c:/www/__docker_contentbox/contentbox-media:/app/includes/shared/media
ortussolutions/contentbox
http://127.0.0.1:8080/
19. Let’s add our Theme into the Image
docker run -p 8080:8080 -e 'cfconfig_adminPassword=password' -e
"DB_CLASS=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver" -e
"DB_CONNECTION_STRING=jdbc:mysql://172.17.0.4:3306/golfgk?useUnicode=true&characterE
ncoding=UTF-8&useLegacyDatetimeCode=true" -e "DB_USER=root" -e
"DB_PASSWORD=r3@lc@m@"
-v c:/www/__docker_contentbox/contentbox-media:/app/includes/shared/media
-v c:/www/__docker_contentbox/themes/golfnk:/app/modules_app/contentbox-custom/_themes/golfnk
ortussolutions/contentbox
http://127.0.0.1:8080/
20. Add Magic into Existing Site
How does ContentBox’s Docker Image do all of this?
● Secret - Some of this is already in ContentBox 3.7.x & more in 4.x
● You need some functions added to your Application.cfc
● You need some config added to your config/Coldbox.cfc
● You need some config added to your config/CacheBox.cfc
Let’s get into it.
