OJS (Open Journal Systems) - PKP - Container/Docker
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.
How to use
docker run --name ojs \
-p 8080:80 -p 8443:443 \
-e SERVERNAME=... \
-v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime \
-d lucasdiedrich/ojsNow 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.
Versions
All version tags can be found at Docker Hub Tags tab.

Upgrading OJS
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-upgradeAfter 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.
Docker-compose
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 upSSL
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.
index.php
By default the restful_url are enable and apache its already configured, so there is no need to use index.php over url.
php.ini
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.
