Docker TastyIgniter

Docker setup for TastyIgniter - a restaurant online ordering and management system.

Latest Versions: TastyIgniter 4.0.4 • PHP 8.3 • MariaDB 10.7 • Redis 6

⚠️ Important: Multi-Container Application

TastyIgniter requires 3 containers to run:

• Application (TastyIgniter + PHP + Apache)
• Database (MariaDB)
• Cache (Redis)

You cannot simply pull and run a single image. Use the provided docker-compose.yml to orchestrate all services.

3. Visit http://localhost:8080/setup
4. Follow the TastyIgniter setup wizard
5. Use these database credentials: - Host: db - Database: tastyigniter - Username: tastyigniter - Password: somepassword

Configuration

Change Port

Edit docker-compose.yml: ports: - "8080:80" # Change 8080 to your preferred port

Change Database Password

Edit docker-compose.yml and update both places:

In app service:

• DB_PASSWORD=your_new_password

In db service:

• MYSQL_PASSWORD=your_new_password

Custom Domain

environment: - APP_URL=https://yourdomain.com

Usage

View Logs

docker compose logs -f app

Stop Services

⚠️ WARNING: Do NOT use 'docker compose down' - it triggers database re-initialization!

Use these instead:

docker compose stop app docker compose stop print-server

Restart

docker compose restart

Complete Reset

docker compose down -v # Removes all data!

Development

For local development with live code editing:

1. Clone this repository
2. Use docker-compose.dev.yml which mounts your local app folder
3. Edit files in /app directory
4. Changes reflect immediately

docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d

Clear cache after template changes: docker compose exec app php artisan cache:clear

Project Structure

tastyigniter-docker/ ├── docker-compose.yml # Production (Docker Hub image) ├── docker-compose.dev.yml # Development (local build) ├── Dockerfile.dev # PHP 8.3 + Apache image ├── docker-entrypoint.sh # Auto-setup script └── .htaccess # Apache rewrite rules

Troubleshooting

Port already in use

Change port in docker-compose.yml: ports: - "8081:80" # Use 8081 instead

Database connection failed

Wait longer for database initialization (can take 60 seconds on first run): docker compose logs db # Check database logs

Permission errors

docker compose exec app chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html

Start fresh

docker compose down -v docker compose up -d

Production Deployment

For production use:

1. Change passwords - Update DB_PASSWORD and MYSQL_PASSWORD
2. Use HTTPS - Add reverse proxy (nginx/Traefik)
3. Disable debug - Set APP_DEBUG=false
4. Configure backups - Backup db-data and storage volumes
5. Update regularly - Pull latest images periodically
