Prestashop 1.7 docker configuration

Stack defines to run Prestashop 1.7.X, you have to download the latest stable version here and extract it into the www folder or use the Prestashop repository on Github

Then, you can follow the Prestashop installer instructions.

Here is the result provided by the Prestashop system requirements tool :

⚠️ Prestashop DB credentials during installation

• host: db
• database: the name entered in the .env file
• user: root
• pwd: root

Of course you can change everything in the docker-compose.yml

⚠️ Before anything else

• Duplicate .env.dist to .env and change credentials inside.
• Create a www folder

⚠️ macOS users - update 2023 - better overall performance

You can use OrbStack instead of NFS and Docker Desktop : https://orbstack.dev/

⚠️ macOS users - enable NFS - (old method)

If you need to speed up your web container, I advice you to enable NFS on your mac and in the docker-compose.yml

services:
    web:
        container_name: ${PROJECT_NAME}_web
        build:
            context: ./conf
            args:
                PHP_VERSION: '7.3'
        ports:
            - "80:80"
        volumes:
            - nfsmount:/app/
        links:
            - db:db

volumes:
  nfsmount:
      driver: local
      driver_opts:
          type: nfs
          o: addr=host.docker.internal,rw,nolock,hard,nointr,nfsvers=3
          device: ":${PWD}/www"

If you need more informations about NFS, you can read the excellent article about this topic written by Jeff Geerling : https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2020/revisiting-docker-macs-performance-nfs-volumes

Useful commands:

• run container : docker-compose up -d
• stop container : docker-compose down
• rebuild container : docker-compose up -d --build
• enter into web container : docker exec -it ${PROJECT_NAME}_web bash
• install npm dependencies : docker exec -it ${PROJECT_NAME}_web npm i --prefix YOUR/FOLDER/PATH
• build assets with npm : docker exec -it ${PROJECT_NAME}_web run build --prefix YOUR/FOLDER/PATH
• watch assets with npm : docker exec -it ${PROJECT_NAME}_web run build --prefix YOUR/FOLDER/PATH
• database dump : docker exec -it ${PROJECT_NAME}_db mysqldump --single-transaction -u root --password=root YOUR_DB_NAME > YOUR_BACKUP.sql
