How to Deploy Magento 2 on Docker?

In today's world, many businesses are moving towards online platforms to boost their sales and grow their business. With the increasing demand for online stores, Magento 2 has become a popular choice for many eCommerce websites. Docker, on the other hand, is a containerization platform that helps developers to create, deploy, and run applications efficiently.

In this article, we will discuss how to deploy Magento 2 on Docker.

Prerequisites:

• Basic knowledge of Docker
• Basic knowledge of Magento 2
• Docker installed on your system

Let's get started!

Step 1: Create a Dockerfile

The Dockerfile is a script that contains all the instructions to build an image for the Docker container. Create a new file named Dockerfile in the root directory of your Magento 2 project and add the following code:

FROM php:7.4-fpm
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    libicu-dev \
    libxml2-dev \
    libpng-dev \
    libjpeg-dev \
    libfreetype6-dev \
    libzip-dev \
    libonig-dev \
    libmcrypt-dev \
    curl \
    git \
    unzip \
    && docker-php-ext-install -j$(nproc) \
    bcmath \
    intl \
    gd \
    pdo_mysql \
    zip \
    && curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer \
    && curl -sS https://get.symfony.com/cli/installer | bash \
    && mv /root/.symfony/bin/symfony /usr/local/bin/symfony

Step 2: Build the Docker Image

Run the following command to build the Docker image:

docker build -t magento2 .

Step 3: Create a Docker Compose File

The Docker Compose file contains all the configurations required to run the Docker container. Create a new file named docker-compose.yml in the root directory of your Magento 2 project and add the following code:

version: '3'
services:
  web:
    image: magento2
    ports:
      - "8080:80"
    volumes:
      - .:/var/www/html
    environment:
      - MYSQL_HOST=mysql
      - MYSQL_USER=magento2
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=magento2
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=magento2
  mysql:
    image: mysql:5.7
    environment:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=magento2
      - MYSQL_USER=magento2
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=magento2

Step 4: Run the Docker Container

Run the following command to start the Docker container:

docker-compose up -d

Step 5: Install Magento 2

Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:8080. You will see the Magento 2 installation page. Follow the instructions to install Magento 2.

Congratulations! You have successfully deployed Magento 2 on Docker.

Additional Tips:

• To stop the Docker container, run the following command: docker-compose down
• To restart the Docker container, run the following command: docker-compose restart
• To view the logs of the Docker container, run the following command: docker-compose logs -f

So, deploying Magento 2 on Docker is a great way to manage your eCommerce website efficiently. Docker provides a lightweight and portable containerization platform that can be easily deployed on any system. We hope this guide has helped you to understand how to deploy Magento 2 on Docker.
