XenForo 2 with Docker

Changes by RemixF with SSL

This is basic docker setup for XenForo 2. Changes by RemixF include:

• Remapped HTTP port to 8023 (HTTP)
• Added port 9023 (HTTPS) for SSL
• Increased file_upload_size in Nginx to 128MB (Supports CloudFlare 100MB limit)

Installed:

• PHP (8.0 Default) 7.2.x, 8.0.x, 8.1.x (Easily switch between php versions)

  • Mysqli
  • GD
  • Imagick
  • Composer
  • GMP
  • Zip

• Nginx 1.19.6

• Mariadb: 10.6.3

Structure

Put XenForo source code to folder /xenforo. Any new add-ons will be stored in folder /addons

• XenForo (internal_data, data) store at .data/xenforo
• Mariadb data store to .data/mariadb
• Nginx logging store to .data/nginx
• XenForo add-ons store at /addons

Please take note of the directory which you use to store files. This directory, unlike most docker containers, uses local storage and if deleted will affect your XenForo installation.

Installation

This requires open port 8023 and 9023 make sure the port was allowed in your environment. You can change the port to any other by editing the file docker-compose.yml

Clone this repository to your computer then run docker-compose build

to build images and run docker-compose up -d to start web server.

Open browser http://localhost:8023 and begin... (If you have configured a different port, please use this port)

Install add-on

To store add-on directories correctly:

• Copy folder /src/addons/<AddOnId> to /addons/<AddOnId>
• Copy folder /js/... to /xenforo/js/...
• Copy folder /styles/... to /xenforo/styles/...
