How to use this image

via docker compose

docker-compose.yml

services:
  glpi:
    image: "glpi/glpi:latest"
    restart: "unless-stopped"
    volumes:
      - "./storage/glpi:/var/glpi:rw"
    env_file: .env # Pass environment variables from .env file to the container
    depends_on:
      db:
        condition: service_healthy
    ports:
      - "80:80"

  db:
    image: "mysql"
    restart: "unless-stopped"
    volumes:
       - "./storage/mysql:/var/lib/mysql"
    environment:
      MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD: "yes"
      MYSQL_DATABASE: ${GLPI_DB_NAME}
      MYSQL_USER: ${GLPI_DB_USER}
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: ${GLPI_DB_PASSWORD}
    healthcheck:
      test: mysqladmin ping -h 127.0.0.1 -u $$MYSQL_USER --password=$$MYSQL_PASSWORD
      start_period: 5s
      interval: 5s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 10
    expose:
      - "3306"

And an .env file:

.env

GLPI_DB_HOST=db
GLPI_DB_PORT=3306
GLPI_DB_NAME=glpi
GLPI_DB_USER=glpi
GLPI_DB_PASSWORD=glpi

Then launch it with:

docker compose up -d

Please note that we setup a random root password for the MySQL database, so you will need to check the logs of the db container to find it:

docker logs <db_container_id>

Once the containers are running, you can access GLPI at http://localhost GLPI will automatically install or update itself if needed.

You can disable this behavior by setting the environment variable GLPI_SKIP_AUTOINSTALL to true in the .env file. Same with GLPI_SKIP_AUTOUPDATE to disable automatic updates.

If so, when accessing the web interface, installation wizard will ask you to provide the database connection details. You can use the following credentials:

• Hostname: db
• Database: glpi
• User: glpi
• Password: glpi

Timezones support

If you want to initialize the timezones support for GLPI, we need to first GRANT the glpi user to access the mysql.time_zone table. So with the docker container running, you can run the following command:

docker exec -it <db_container_id> mysql -u root -p -e "GRANT SELECT ON mysql.time_zone_name TO 'glpi'@'%';FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"

The root password will be the one you found in the logs of the db container previously.

Then you can run the following command to initialize the timezones on the GLPI container:

docker exec -it <glpi_container_id> /var/www/glpi/bin/console database:enable_timezones

Volumes

By default, the glpi/glpi image provides a volume containing its config, marketplace and files directories. For GLPI 10.0.x version the marketplace directory is not declared in the volume as the path differs. You may want to create a manual volume for the path /var/www/glpi/marketplace if you plan to use it.
