upload_max_filesize should be set in higher limit by default in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini to resolve one to the "unresolved issues" during the initial phabricator configuration.

I'd recommend to use a volume container to split the data from the phabricator container.

I do this:

docker run --name="phabricator_data" \
-v /var/lib/mysql \
-v /var/repo \
-v /opt/phabricator/conf \
sils1297/centos /bin/echo phabricator data container

docker run --name="phabricator" -d --restart=always -p 80:80 -p 25:25 \
--volumes-from phabricator_data \
yesnault/docker-phabricator

This makes the whole thing independent from the hosts filesystem while keeping the data isolated. The phabricator_data container is just there to assure the volume doesnt get cleaned up if one docker rm's the phabricator container. Another advantage is that you dont have to fiddle with the permissions/selinux and so on on the host system which is usually ugly.

There will be no pull request for this since I use my own setup script together with other containers. Its just a suggestion of what I think might be better ;).

Just started it and got this error:

Not Found
The requested URL / was not found on this server.

Hi, Your image is very helpful. But I am facing one issue. Whenever I run both containers in command line both processes keep open in command line. If I close the terminal both container's gets stopped. What should I do run these processes in background as others do ? Please help. Your help is much appreciated.

What's the best way to handle the setup issues mentioned after installing? Log into an intermediate container and make the changes?

An important part especially for user creation are email notifications. It would be nice if the image could provide some easy means to set it up or set it up as automatically as possible.

Sugar on top would be the ability of receiving emails.

Phabricator has a number of daemons that are presumed to be running on the same host as the Apache service, but the docker container doesn't run the daemons. This means a number of features of Phabricator don't work. I've tried starting them with docker exec, and they start, but they start as root because the "sudo" command is unavailable on the image. The web service runs as www-data, so there are path permission conflicts if the daemons create a file that the web service will later need to edit.

It's not clear in https://github.com/yesnault/docker-phabricator/blob/master/build.sh why --no-cache is used.

Perhaps the reasoning behind --no-cache can be added as a comment.

When I run docker run --name databasePhabricator yesnault/docker-phabricator-mysql and then docker run -p 8081:80 --link databasePhabricator:database yesnault/docker-phabricator, I get the next response on the second command

Error response from daemon: Cannot start container 7fe5f4cb95b72e7511fcb2a03889f237ec960d20372d942672dedb9a4a2fc263: Cannot link to a non running container: /databasePhabricator AS /evil_mcclintock/database

The first container stops running for a reason... Is there a way I can fix this?

If you pass a volume while starting database, then the mysql script executed in

The Phabricator daemons are not running, so Phabricator will not be able to perform background processing (including sending email, rebuilding search indexes, importing commits, cleaning up old data, running builds, etc.).

Use bin/phd start to start daemons. See Managing Daemons with phd for more information.
Run this command:

phabricator/ $ ./bin/phd start

I would not recommend using this image, which uses extremely old commits:

• Phabricator - 79f2e81f38bed6f2cf0b938ccbd0383a5bc3c9b2 (Aug 8 2015)
• Arcanist - c304c4e04564cab8b11104e7814376223dc82468 (Aug 7 2015)
• libphutil - 55f554b618b98bdd5970d1ea60db94c7d1dfd61f (Aug 5 2015)

Please track containerly/docker-library#73 for progress on a Phabricator image that is kept up to date automatically.

for http the /usr/bin/git-core directory has to go into phabricators path variable. After that there are some access problems. Would be nice to adress that.

It would be really nice if you explained how to use this in a production context. As it stands the db does not persist past the life of a container, for example.

[2017-04-06 06:17:20] EXCEPTION: (AphrontConnectionQueryException) Attempt to connect to admin@database failed with error #2005: Unknown MySQL server host 'database' (0). at [/src/aphront/storage/connection/mysql/AphrontMySQLiDatabaseConnection.php:72]
arcanist(), phabricator(head=master, ref.master=8ff41264e495), phutil()

I am getting above exception while running ./bin/accountadmin in docker phabricator. As well my Mysql docker is not getting updated its database. How can I access the database and where the data is actually stored in these docker's ?

When you launch the docker-phabricator image, the following setup issues related to MySQL server configuration exist:

• MySQL is Using Default Stopword File — MySQL is using a default stopword file, which will prevent searching for many common words.
• MySQL is Using Default Minimum Word Length — MySQL is configured to only index words with at least 4 characters.
• MySQL May Run Slowly — MySQL is configured with a very small innodb_buffer_pool_size, which may impact performance.

So, currently, the MySQL server launched in the container isn't compliant with the Phabricator recommended configuration.

For the two first issues, this is straightforward, a customized my.cnf file could include the two following lines:

ft_stopword_file=/opt/phabricator/resources/sql/stopwords.txt
ft_min_word_len=3

The last issue requires a strategic decision about the expected amount of RAM available to run Phabricator in a Docker container. The default value is 128 MB, I set 1024 MB on mine, and Phabricator will complain if the pool is < 225 MB (based on the fact 40% of an AWS EC2 Micro instance RAM is 245 MB).

I can't figure the ideal value for this setting, but it seems reasonable to consider 1 GB of RAM is the minimal expected memory allocation for a nginx + php-fpm + MySQL + some daemons for a small team. 40% would give 409.6 MB

innodb_buffer_pool_size=410M

Hi!

I got this PHP error:

>>> UNRECOVERABLE FATAL ERROR <<<
date_default_timezone_get(): Timezone database is corrupt - this should *never* happen!
/opt/phabricator/src/infrastructure/env/PhabricatorEnv.php:94

I thought that setting date.timezone to something will repaire it. But no. And googling didn't help -
seems that nobody uses php with apache now.

What are the proper user/pass values to make it connect? Or do we set this manually in mysql and phab's local config?

I have Docker running on a remote Ubuntu VM (say, app01.example.com).

I ran:

docker run --name databasePhabricator yesnault/docker-phabricator-mysql

Then I ran:

docker run -p 8081:80 --link databasePhabricator:database yesnault/docker-phabricator

Just to verify everything started correctly, I ran docker logs sick_bartik (the docker-phabricator image) and saw this error message:

AH00558: apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 172.17.0.7. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message

I then opened up a browser and went to http://app01.example.com:8081 and the Phabricator UI showed up. Great success! The first thing Phabricator wants you to do is set up an Admin account. So I filled out the simple form (admin username, name, email, etc.), submitted the form, and got the following exception:

Please advise!

Hi,

you may want to add the package php5-apc. This should speed up page loading a bit according to documentation. (Though I didnt tested if installing the package suffices. Its easy to test because the "PHP Extension 'APC' Not Installed" setup issue should vanish.)

Hi,

I have created a git repositry in phabricator from diffusion-> active repository -> new repository with hosting server over http read/write enable
After i try to clone this new repositry on my host, I submit username and password and got error 403 :
fatal: unable to access 'http://127.0.0.1:8081/diffusion/TESTMAU/mau-test.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403
Can you help me plz ?

Hi.

Could you please add mercurial to the bundled vcs binaries?

A simple "apt-get install mercurial" should suffice.

Not sure if this warrants opening issue, but it took me a minute to figure out to go to localhost.localdomain as that's how the hosts file is set up by default on arch linux. It might be worth noting in the readme how to configure the local domain, or how to figure out what yours is, as well as why it's necessary rather than just going directly to localhost (it seems to just be a requirement of phabricator).

I can write something up and do a PR if you're interested.

Here is what I get when running containers.

Bad "Host" Header
This request included an invalid "Host" header, with value "localhost:8081". Host headers must contain a dot ("."), like "example.com". This is required for some browsers to be able to set cookies.

This may mean the base URI is configured incorrectly. You must serve Phabricator from a base URI with a dot (like "https://phabricator.mycompany.com"), not a bare domain (like "https://phabricator/"). If you are trying to use a bare domain, change your configuration to use a full domain with a dot in it instead.

This might also mean that your webserver (or some other network device, like a load balancer) is mangling the "Host" header, or you are using a tool or library to issue a request manually and setting the wrong "Host" header.

Requests must include a valid "Host" header.
To continue, resolve this problem and reload the page.

Hello there, I got the message the following message when I docker logs <container_id>:
"httpd (pid %d) already running"

I think that's was because my ubuntu was shutdown-ed.

Do you know how to kill the running httpd when I start the container?

When I launch the phabricator image with the mysql one you provide, I get :

Unhandled Exception ("AphrontSchemaQueryException")
#1054: Unknown column 'profileImageCache' in 'field list'

NOTE: This usually indicates that the MySQL schema has not been properly upgraded. Run 'bin/storage upgrade' to ensure your schema is up to date.

Do you think there would be an easy way for this image to use an external mySQL database? This should be optional because your current setup is super awesome to get running quickly.

Phabricator gives the following warning:

On your MySQL instance, the global sql_mode is not set to STRICT_ALL_TABLES. It is strongly encouraged that you enable this mode when running Phabricator.

By default MySQL will silently ignore some types of errors, which can cause data loss and raise security concerns. Enabling strict mode makes MySQL raise an explicit error instead, and prevents this entire class of problems from doing any damage.

You can find more information about this mode (and how to configure it) in the MySQL manual. Usually, it is sufficient to add this to your my.cnf file (in the [mysqld] section) and then restart mysqld:

sql_mode=STRICT_ALL_TABLES

(Note that if you run other applications against the same database, they may not work in strict mode. Be careful about enabling it in these cases.)

Adding this should fix the problem.

RUN sed -i 's/\[mysqld\]/[mysqld]\nsql_mode=STRICT_ALL_TABLES/' /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Haven't tested this yet though.
