Docker

For now the easiest way to use Open Case is with Docker. We publish Docker images of Open Case on GitLab, of which the latest tag is also deployed to the online demo.

Please have a look at the configuration for all required and possible options.

Docker Compose

You can use the following docker-compose.yml and .env to start up Open Case:

# docker-compose.yml
services:
    app:
        image: open-case:latest
        ports:
            - '${APP_HOST:-127.0.0.1}:${APP_PORT:-80}:80'
        depends_on:
            db:
                condition: service_healthy
        volumes:
            - ./data:/var/www/html/storage/app
        env_file:
            - .env
    db:
        image: 'mysql/mysql-server:8.0'
        ports:
            - '${FORWARD_DB_PORT:-3306}:3306'
        volumes:
            - ./db:/var/lib/mysql
        environment:
            MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: '${DB_PASSWORD}'
            MYSQL_DATABASE: '${DB_DATABASE}'
            MYSQL_USER: '${DB_USERNAME}'
            MYSQL_PASSWORD: '${DB_PASSWORD}'
        healthcheck:
            test: ["CMD", "mysqladmin", "ping", "-u${DB_USERNAME}", "-p${DB_PASSWORD}"]
            retries: 5
            timeout: 3s
