The instructions in https://hub.docker.com/_/joomla/ don't work. [RANT]
This is a rant for you guys, for not being able to do your work properly.
I have simply tried to use docker image joomla-docker, so i've followed all of the instructions provided here: https://hub.docker.com/_/joomla/ just to try to get a fresh Joomla install working following these instructions only.
surprise surprise, following your instructions to run it using docker-compose
and it doesn't work. And it has nothing to do with my setup (I've tried in two different machines, with two different versions of windows and two different tools for docker). it simply doesn't work, it's incomplete or god knows what the hell but it simply isn't complete.
Following your instructions leaves me here
with an error of not being able to connect to the database not even with a SQL explorer tool (I'm using Navicat SQL in this case)
For whatever reason, I feel there is some parameter missing in the database part for this to work. did anyone in your team review these installation instructions?
And then you guys will wonder why WordPress has so many followers. I love Joomla but whenever i program with it or use it sometimes it just feels like talking to an underage 10 y/o that doesn't fully understand what's going on.
fix this, give proper instructions so that someone can at least install a fresh copy of Joomla and run it in their localhost properly.
Would you translate the error for me please. Also, which joomla docker build did you use? Which docker version? What platform? What container type?
I agree the directions are completely ambiguous. I was unable to get it to work either. There simply is not enough documentation for a noob to make it work.
What job are you talking about? This is a FOSS project made by a community of volunteers.
If something doesn't work, feel free to try and fix it with a PR or whichever way is suited at each occasion.
Your attitude is really not appreciated.
how can I fix this? I think you only need to change the stack.yml so that it properly works out of the box. get your volunteers to work. Volunteering is a responsibility that has to be done properly. I volunteered for months rebuilding schools in Nepal after the earthquake. I don't accept shitty work being done out of volunteering cos that's not volunteering , it's just filling in. and if a volunteer does a shitty work then people over the internet get to spend hours trying to follow an incomplete tutorial that should have taken them 3 minutes
you are right.my attitude is not appreciated, nobody appreciates when the truth is so hurtful. SO guess what. * I'm sticking in*. I rant and I'll complain but I will help to make this something more proper. As soon as I get it to work out of the box i'll update those instructions.
then if I fail you get to rant about me.

Well it's not that hard. In your own docker-compose file there you can see the environment variable JOOMLA_DB_HOST: joomladb instead of localhost in the Joomla host field you need to use joomladb
man it doesnt work. that will not fix the database problem . the connection gets rejecTED

Ok, I just realized what the problem really was. Thanks to this rant i managed to understand the problem and i've learned something. I will further pursue using this image. i just learned I need to learn a little bit more. I will make a better guide as a way to improve this in a way that a newbie can easily understand.
with whom will I have to talk to? thanks by the way. those screenshots were stupidly and ridiculously helpful. I was using localhost and I wasn't properly understanding what docker was doing with joomladb as the name.

Ok, I think i figured it out. Joomla wouldnt connect to mysql, whenever i took a look at the services in my machine i realized [image: image.png] There were no ports being redirected. I tried updating the yml file to add the ports configuration and it worked.
version: '3.1'
services: joomla: image: joomla restart: always links: - joomladb:mysql ports: - 8080:80 environment: JOOMLA_DB_HOST: joomladb JOOMLA_DB_PASSWORD: example
joomladb: image: mysql:5.6 ports:
-
restart: always environment: MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: example- 3306*
Also, it would be nice to indicate in the tutorial to when installing or configuring, set the user to root and the password to example (in the next login screen) and remember that host for joomladb is joomladb. Something like this:
"On installation screen , or when updating configuration.php, remember that mysql user is root, mysqlpassword is example (in this precise example), and that the database host is joomladb, "

You shouldn't have to open port 3306 to the world. It should be accessible between the containers only (which is the same way wordpress' docker links to mysql fwiw). Unsure exactly what's not working on your setup though
@troindx You ranted at how crappy volunteers we are then by your own admission there's nothing wrong with our code and everything wrong with your actions.
Think you might want to apologize?
@wilsonge thanks George, I couldn't get past square 2 but I knew it was me.
but there is something wrong!! joomla docker wouldnt connect to joomladb docker because port isnt exposed. i showed a couple of screenshots and it is weird that it wouldnt work.
for instance, it would be useful to include volumes for mysl data and httpdocs folder so that when loading the image with swarm or docker compose you have access to the joomla files and for them not to get lost when you reboot the joomla image. cos the database was being saved but the joomla wasnt for some reason.
its all about making people come closer to docker. im not complaining about volunteers. im complaining about whomever is responsible for making all this as user friendly as possible for newbies. so many people rather simply use wamp in their machines and they r missing so much in docker. improve the docs, improve the community. fair and simple. :-)

I have made a tutorial about this. https://www.hamrodev.com/en/app-development/joomla-docker-tutorial I hope you consider this my way of apologizing, and contributing to make a small effort to make things easier for noobs like me.
