Dockerfile to build a LimeSurvey Image for the Docker container platform.

The apache image comes with an Apache Webserver and PHP installed.

To change to Apache Webserver configuration, mount a Volume into the Container at:

• /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

See the example configuration provided.

To use the fpm image, you need an additional web server that can proxy http-request to the fpm-port of the container. See docker-compose.fpm.yml for example

LimeSurvey requires an external database (MySQL, PostgreSQL) to run. See docker-compose.yml for example.

To preserve the uploaded files assign the upload folder into a volume. See docker-compose.yml for example.

Path: /var/www/html/upload/surveys

Hint: The mounted directory must be owned by the webserver user (e.g. www-data)

The entrypoint will create a new config.php if none is provided and run the LimeSurvey command line interface for installation.

To change to LimeSurvey configuration, you can mount a Volume into the Container at:

• /my-data/config.php:/var/www/html/application/config/config.php

Hint: If this configuration is present before the installation, the LimeSurvey Web Installer will not run automatically.

For further details on the settings see: https://manual.limesurvey.org/Optional_settings#Advanced_Path_Settings

The easiest way to get a fully featured and functional setup is using a docker-compose file. Several examples are provided in the repository.

docker-compose up
