This is a Docker image million12/typo3-flow-neos-abstract for Flow and Neos application deployments. It's Homestead (vide Laravel Homestead) for your Flow or Neos applications.
- Use directly this image for standard Flow/Neos apps.
- Easily create custom image based on this one, to create customised setup.
- Pre-install Flow/Neos app and embed it inside the image to speed up and bullet-proof container launch process.
- Full customisation via ENV variables, e.g. custom (private) repositories, custom site package.
- Surf deployment support.
- Custom build scripts, user hooks available for a few installation/configuration steps.
- Ability to run all unit, functional, Behat tests with this image and million12/php-testing.
- PHP-FPM (from parent million12/nginx-php), tuned for Flow/Neos applications.
- External database fully configurable. Use linked MariaDB container or completely external DB service.
- CI tests to cover functionality of this image.
For different PHP versions, look up different branches of this repository.
On Docker Hub you can find them under different tags:
million12/typo3-flow-neos-abstract:latest- PHP 7.0 based # built frommasterbranchmillion12/typo3-flow-neos-abstract:php70- PHP 7.0 based # built fromphp70branchmillion12/typo3-flow-neos-abstract:php56- PHP 5.6 based # built fromphp56branch
If you use Neos 2.1 or newer, use :php70 (or :latest). If you use Neos 2.0 or older, stick with :php56 image.
docker run -d --name=db --env="MARIADB_PASS=my-pass" million12/mariadb
docker run -d --name=flow -p=8080:80 --link=db:db \
--env="T3APP_VHOST_NAMES=flow dev.flow" \
--env="T3APP_BUILD_REPO_URL=https://github.com/neos/flow-base-distribution.git" \
--env="T3APP_BUILD_BRANCH=3.0" \
million12/typo3-flow-neos-abstract
This will install Flow (3.0). After container finished start and you mapped flow dev.flow to container IP in your /etc/hosts, you can access Flow on http://flow:8080 (or http://dev.flow:8080 for Development context).
Note: in the example we link with db container, so flow container can read its configuration directly (host, password etc). Otherwise you'd need to provide T3APP_DB_* env variables explicitly.
docker run -d --name=db --env="MARIADB_PASS=my-pass" million12/mariadb
docker run -d --name=neos -p=8080:80 --link=db:db \
--env="T3APP_VHOST_NAMES=neos neos.flow" \
--env="T3APP_BUILD_REPO_URL=https://github.com/neos/neos-base-distribution.git" \
--env="T3APP_BUILD_BRANCH=2.0" \
million12/typo3-flow-neos-abstract
This will install Neos (2.0). After container finished start and you mapped neos dev.neos to container IP in your /etc/hosts, you can access Flow on http://neos:8080 (or http://dev.neos:8080 for Development context).
There are many reasons you'd need to build your own image: you want to install custom distribution from private repository, you want to use pre-install feature, you project needs some custom software embedded in the image, you want to provide default ENV variables more suitable for your app etc.
For an example of Flow image built on top of this one, see million12/typo3-flow repository.
For an example of Neos image built on top of this one, see million12/typo3-neos repository.
Community examples:
- m12.io website. See the Dockerfile with an example of custom distribution/site package and example how to access repository using SSH keys, use build user hooks.
- sfi.ru website. See the Dockerfile with an example how to override PHP/ configuration and do Surf deployments.
System will try to figure out automatically if it's Flow or Neos distribution. See T3APP_INSTALLATION_TYPE env variable below if you want bypass automatic detection.
Be aware that, by default, FLOW_CONTEXT variable is set based on virtual host name (i.e. Produciton, Development, Testing).
The rules are:
- when vhost contains
devin its name,FLOW_CONTEXT=Development. - when vhost contains
devandbehatin its name,FLOW_CONTEXT=Developmnet/Behat - all other cases:
FLOW_CONTEXT=Production.
With that it's easy to use the default provided Nginx configuration and have your production website on site.com domain, dev.site.com for your developers and possibly e.g. behat.dev.site.com to run Behat tests.
With this container, you can run all unit, functional tests, including Behat tests which requires Selenium server. There is an ENV variable T3APP_DO_INIT_TESTS to make this process painless. When T3APP_DO_INIT_TESTS=true, testing environment and database will be created/configured. See the section about env variables below for more info.
For the example how to run test suites included in Neos using this container, see the million12/php-testing repository. For even more info see the Neos testing documentation website.
You start with creating a new Docker image based on million12/typo3-flow-neos-abstract, using FROM million12/typo3-flow-neos-abstract in your Dockerfile.
Optionally, Flow/Neos app can be pre-installed (git clone + composer install) during docker build and embedded within the image. That gives a much faster container start (seconds instead of minutes). It also makes the container starts insensitive to outside circumstances, e.g. network issues, timeouts, repository rate limits etc.
You can customise the pre-install process using ENV variables listed below. You can provide custom distribution URL (e.g. from your GitHub repo) or specify different branch/tag. For detailed info about how this pre-install script works, see pre-install-typo3-app.sh.
To use this feature, you need to add your Dockerfile line:
RUN . /build-typo3-app/pre-install-typo3-app.sh
(just after ADD container-files / line).
When you start the container, it will run configure-typo3-app.sh script which does all necessary steps to make TYPO3 Flow/Neos up & running.
Here are the details:
File vhost.conf is used as a model vhost config. Vhost names are supplied via T3APP_VHOST_NAMES env variable. NOTE: currently there is configured redirect to non-www vhost (the 1st one, shall you provided more than one).
You can completely override that template file if you need custom configuration. Note that this vhost config file will be overridden/regenerated each time container starts unless you set env variable T3APP_FORCE_VHOST_CONF_UPDATE=false.
If the app was pre-installed during the image build process, it will be unpacked to /data/www/$T3APP_NAME and - optionally - git fetch/pull is executed (if T3APP_ALWAYS_DO_PULL is set to true).
In case of not using pre-install feature, it will be installed (git checkout, composer install).
Default Configuration/Settings.yaml is created (if doesn't exist) and updated with DB credentials. Read on Database connection section for more info. Database T3APP_DB_NAME is created if it does not exist yet.
If fresh/empty database is detected, ./flow doctrine:migrate is performed. For Neos installation additional steps are required: admin user is created and T3APP_NEOS_SITE_PACKAGE is imported. If T3APP_NEOS_SITE_PACKAGE_FORCE_REIMPORT is set to TRUE, site content will be pruned/imported each time container starts.
Cache is warmed up for Production context, filesystem permissions are set.
You can provide an extra build.sh script in the project's root directory which will be run at the end of setup process. This is a good place to add custom build steps, like compiling CSS, minifying JS, generating resources etc. Note that this is the same script which is run during Docker build phase (which is then run with --preinstall argument). See T3APP_USER_BUILD_SCRIPT env variable to override path to this build.sh script.
In Dockerfile you can customise what and from where is pre-installed during build stage:
FROM million12/typo3-flow-neos-abstract:latest
# ENV: Install custom Flow version
# Default: master
ENV T3APP_BUILD_BRANCH 2.2.2
# ENV: Repository for installed TYPO3 app
# Default: https://github.com/neos/flow-base-distribution.git
ENV T3APP_BUILD_REPO_URL https://github.com/you/your-flow-or-neos-app.git
# ENV: Custom composer install params
# Default: --prefer-dist --optimize-autoloader
ENV T3APP_BUILD_COMPOSER_PARAMS --no-dev --prefer-source --optimize-autoloader
# Run pre-install script
RUN . /build-typo3-app/pre-install-typo3-app.sh
To access private repositories, generate a new SSH key set (e.g. ssh-keygen -q -t rsa -N '' -f gh-repo-key) and add the generated key as deployment key to your private repository. Then you need to embed it inside your image (via ADD instruction in the Dockerfile) and configure SSH client so that it will be used during git clone. Your Dockerfile could look as following:
FROM million12/typo3-flow-neos-abstract:latest
ENV T3APP_BUILD_REPO_URL [email protected]:company/your-private-repo.git
ADD gh-repo-key /
RUN \
chmod 600 /gh-repo-key && \
echo "IdentityFile /gh-repo-key" >> /etc/ssh/ssh_config && \
. /build-typo3-app/pre-install-typo3-app.sh
All variables and their defaults are defined in include-variables.sh. Read on to know what are they for.
Note: the default values are on purpose not defined in Dockerfile as defining them would add several new layers to the filesystem in the final Docker image.
These are variables relevant during build process of your custom image:
T3APP_BUILD_REPO_URL
Default: T3APP_BUILD_REPO_URL=https://github.com/neos/flow-base-distribution.git
By default it points to TYPO3 Flow base distribution. Override it to https://github.com/neos/neos-base-distribution.git to install TYPO3 Neos base distribution. Provide your own repository to install your own Flow/Neos distribution. The repository can be private: read more above for an example how to configure/access private repositories. Remember to use git url in SSH format for private repositories, i.e. [email protected]:user/package.git.
T3APP_BUILD_BRANCH
Default: T3APP_BUILD_BRANCH=master
Branch or tag name to checkout during pre-install phase. For instance, to install default TYPO3 Neos base distribution, but one of stable or older version, you might want to override it with e.g. 1.1.2.
T3APP_BUILD_COMPOSER_PARAMS
Default: T3APP_BUILD_COMPOSER_PARAMS=--prefer-dist --optimize-autoloader
Extra parameters for composer install. You might override it with e.g. --no-dev --prefer-dist --optimize-autoloader on production.
Following is the list of available ENV variables relevant during runtime phase (docker run). You can embed them in Dockerfile as well as provide via --env param to docker run command.
T3APP_INSTALLATION_TYPE
Default: T3APP_INSTALLATION_TYPE=""
Valid values: flow, neos or empty string (default, equals auto-detection)
The configuration script tries to detects if it is Flow or Neos installation. When typo3/neos or neos/neos is found in composer.json, Neos installation is assumed and few extra steps are performed (e.g. site import, creation of admin user). Otherwise flow installation type is assumed.
If automatic detection doesn't work for your setup, you can force it by setting this value explicitly.
T3APP_DO_INIT
Default: T3APP_DO_INIT=true
When set to TRUE (default), TYPO3 app will be fully configured and set up, incl. db migration and importing/installing specified site package (Neos only). It might be useful to set it to FALSE when you only want to run tests against this container and you do not need working site.
T3APP_DO_INIT_TESTS
Default: T3APP_DO_INIT_TESTS=false
Configure TYPO3 app for running Behat tests. You need to have flowpack/behat installed in your composer.json.
When you set this option to TRUE, you have to add extra vhost in format behat.dev.[your-base-domain] in T3APP_VHOST_NAMES variable. This so-called "Behat vhost" will be added to all behat.yml files across all packages and will be used for Behat testing; also it will be used to set proper FLOW_CONTEXT for that vhost.
When this option is set to TRUE, an empty database for Behat testing is created and configured for Development/Behat and Testing/Behat contexts, all Packages/*/*/Tests/Behavior/behat.yml.dist are copied to behat.yml, with base_url: option set to Behat vhost. In addition, ./flow behat:setup command will be run to prepare all necessary dependencies for running the tests.
Note: You don't have to set this option to run unit and/or functional tests. Unit and functional tests work out of the box (technical background: functional tests run in Testing context, which is out-of-box configured to use pdo_sqlite with in-memory tables).
For an example how to run all Behat test suites included in TYPO3 Neos, see the circle.yml which contains example of running Behat tests.
T3APP_NAME
Default: T3APP_NAME=typo3-app
Used internally as a folder name in /data/www/T3APP_NAME where Flow/Neos will be installed. It might be also used as a base for vhost name(s) if T3APP_VHOST_NAMES is not set.
T3APP_VHOST_NAMES
Default: T3APP_VHOST_NAMES="${T3APP_NAME} dev.${T3APP_NAME} behat.dev.${T3APP_NAME}"
Hostname(s) to configure in Nginx. Nginx is configured that it will set FLOW_CONTEXT to Development if it contains dev in its name, Testing if it contains test.
Note: vhost behat.dev.${T3APP_NAME}" is important one if you plan to run Behat test on that container (and you have set T3APP_DO_INIT_TESTS to true). In addition, for that vhost, Nginx sets Development/Behat FLOW_CONTEXT (see vhost.conf).
T3APP_USER_NAME
T3APP_USER_PASS
T3APP_USER_FNAME
T3APP_USER_LNAME
Default: T3APP_USER_NAME=admin
Default: T3APP_USER_PASS=password
Default: T3APP_USER_FNAME=Admin
Default: T3APP_USER_LNAME=User
Neos installation only. If this is fresh installation, admin user will be created with above details.
T3APP_NEOS_SITE_PACKAGE
Default: T3APP_NEOS_SITE_PACKAGE=false
Neos installation only. The default value is FALSE which means the site package will NOT be installed UNLESS you specify one. For default Base distribution you would specify here Neos.Demo value. For your own distribution specify your custom site package.
When this value is specified, the site package will be installed and its content imported (if it's a fresh installation). If you want to re-install / re-import the site content even if it was already installed, set T3APP_NEOS_SITE_PACKAGE_FORCE_REIMPORT=true (see below).
Note: you can also specify here path to your Content.xml instead of package key.
The path needs to be relative to Neos root directory. For instance,
Packages/Sites/My.Site/Resources/Private/Content/My-Content.xml.
T3APP_NEOS_SITE_PACKAGE_FORCE_REIMPORT
Default: T3APP_NEOS_SITE_PACKAGE_FORCE_REIMPORT=false
Neos installation only. Set to true to prune (./flow site:prune) and re-import (./flow site:import ...) site content each time container starts. Useful if you keep your Sites.xml versioned and in sync.
T3APP_ALWAYS_DO_PULL
Default: T3APP_ALWAYS_DO_PULL=false
When true, the newest codebase will be pulled using git pull when container starts (preceeded by git clean, git reset to avoid any potential conflicts). It is false by default as it seems to be more safe during development to avoid loosing any code changes, but it's useful to set it to true to ensure fresh/latest codebase of your app. Note: if you provided T3APP_BUILD_BRANCH which is not a branch but a tag, the pull will fail.
T3APP_FORCE_VHOST_CONF_UPDATE
Default: T3APP_FORCE_VHOST_CONF_UPDATE=true
When TRUE (which is default), Nginx vhost file will be always overridden with the content from vhost.conf template. You might override it and keep together with your project files to keep in in sync. If you prefer manual updates, set it to FALSE.
T3APP_USER_BUILD_SCRIPT
Default: T3APP_USER_BUILD_SCRIPT=./build.sh
Path to custom build hook script which is executed during major points of the build and run phase. The path is relative to the project root directory. See [User hooks](#User hooks) section for more information about how to use it and what hooks are available.
T3APP_USE_SURF_DEPLOYMENT
Default: T3APP_USE_SURF_DEPLOYMENT=false
Set to TRUE to use directory layout compatible with Surf.
T3APP_SURF_SMOKE_TEST_DOMAIN
Default: T3APP_SURF_SMOKE_TEST_DOMAIN=next.<the 1st domain from $T3APP_VHOST_NAMES>
If you use T3APP_USE_SURF_DEPLOYMENT, this is the extra domain which will be configured in Nginx (and aliased to 127.0.0.1 inside container). It's needed if you want to use Surf smoke test task typo3.surf:test:httptest.
T3APP_SSH_REPO_KEY
Default: T3APP_SSH_REPO_KEY=/gh-repo-key
Useful when you embed own SSH key to access private Git repository. When set AND the file exist, it will be copied to www home directory, to /data/www/.ssh/id_rsa so, when you work as www user inside container, you can pull and push changes from/to your repository. See Accessing private repositories section for more information.
These are variables which are set internally when container starts. You might want to use them e.g. inside your site build hook script (see T3APP_USER_BUILD_SCRIPT).
RUNTIME_EXECUTED_MIGRATIONS
Contains number of executed db migrations (from flow doctrine:migrationstatus). Useful to detect fresh installs e.g. in your own T3APP_USER_BUILD_SCRIPT.
if [[ $RUNTIME_EXECUTED_MIGRATIONS == 0 ]]; then
do_something
fi
If present, custom build.sh script (name/path defined in T3APP_USER_BUILD_SCRIPT env variable) might be executed during major points of the build and run phase. This is very useful if you need to add custom steps to do while your app is bootstrapping, e.g. add extra configuration, sync the content, do front-end Grunt/Gulp tasks etc.
Key things to know:
- Hook script is executed as
<T3APP_USER_BUILD_SCRIPT> <hook-name>, e.g../build.sh --post-build. - The hook script is always executed as a
rootuser. If you need something to be run aswwwuser (Nginx and PHP-FPM run aswwwuser), write something like this:su www -c "my command here". - There's very simple check to determine if the hook should be run. If the hook script contains hook name (e.g.
--post-build) in its content, it will be run. Otherwise not.
-
--post-build: called at the end ofdocker-buildphase, just after initial composer install. Note: in previous version of this package it was called--preinstall, which still works for backward-compatibility reasons, but it will be removed in future versions.
Example usage: ideal place to install any software needed for your project. It will be added to built Docker image. -
--post-install: Flow/Neos app's source code has been installed (incl. code pull ifT3APP_ALWAYS_DO_PULL=trueis set, incl. creating Surf directory structure ifT3APP_USE_SURF_DEPLOYMENT=trueis set). But the application is not yet fully initialised, i.e. Settings.yaml is not configured, DB is not migrated, site package is not installed) -
--post-settings: Settings.yaml is configured with DB credentials (TYPO3.Flow.persistence.backendOptions). Note: at this stage you have access to runtime variable,RUNTIME_EXECUTED_MIGRATIONS(see above).
Ideal place to do extra configuration of Settings.yaml. -
--post-db-migration: Database has been migrated/provisioned, but it's still empty (no user, no site package yet) -
--pre-cache-warmup: Flow or Neos app is fully initialised, but caches haven't been warmed up yet. -
--post-init: application is fully initialised, incl. warmed up caches forProductioncontext. If you setT3APP_DO_INIT_TESTS=TRUE, this hook is called before Behat tests will be initialised. -
--post-test-init: called after Behat tests are fully initialised. Only active whenT3APP_DO_INIT_TESTS=TRUE. -
[no param]: Called at the very end of bootstrap process duringdocker runphase. Application is fully initialised, but web server didn't started yet. It will start after your script finishes execution.
Example usage: ideal place to run any Gulp/Grunt tasks, i.e. CSS post-processing, JS minification etc.

esacThe easiest setup is to link the container with db container, as shown in Flow and Neos container examples:
docker run -d --name=db-container --env="MARIADB_PASS=my-pass" million12/mariadb
docker run -d --name=neos -p=8080:80 --link=db-container:db --env="T3APP_VHOST_NAMES=neos dev.neos" million12/typo3-neos
We relay on the fact, that docker run --link=db-container:db creates all necessary ENV variables inside our container and necessary entry in /etc/hosts (i.e. DB_CONTAINER_IP_ADD db which gives you ability to connect to db hostname inside the container), so the connection just works.
If you need more flexible setup, customise it with the following ENV variables.
T3APP_DB_NAME
Default: T3APP_DB_NAME=${T3APP_NAME}
Database name, which will be used for the application. It will be created (if does not exist) and migrated (for fresh installations). Note: all non-allowed in db identifiers characters will be replaced with _ char when using the db name from T3APP_NAME value (which might contain e.g. - chars).
T3APP_DB_HOST
Default: T3APP_DB_HOST=db
Database hostname.
T3APP_DB_PORT
Default: T3APP_DB_PORT=3306
Database port number.
T3APP_DB_USER
Default: T3APP_DB_USER=admin
Database username, which will be used for the connection. This user must have permissions to create the T3APP_DB_NAME database, if it doesn't exist yet.
T3APP_DB_PASS
Default: T3APP_DB_PASS=password
This image is not only perfect for development purposes, it's production ready. There are handful of projects where people use it on production, just to list few of them:
