How To Install and Setup Cocorico on Ubuntu 20.04 from the official Cocorico docker image

Prerequisites

Ubuntu 20.04 with the following:

• Docker

• + Apache2
  

• + PORTS: Cocorico needs the following ports available to run:
  
  :8080 (for web interface)
  :3306 (for mariadb/mysql)
  :9001 (for Supervisor Status)
  :27017 (for mongodb)

Step 1 — Installing Cocorico

First, verify your docker installation:

docker -v

^{By default, the docker command can only be run by the root user or by a user in the docker group, which is automatically created during Docker’s installation process. The rest of this how-to assumes you are running the docker command as a user in the docker group. If you choose not to, please prepend the commands with sudo}

docker pull cocolabs/cocorico

To verify the image has been downloaded to your machine, type:

docker images

In the directory where Cocorico will be installed (e.g. /home/_username/_projects), create the directory for your_cocorico and change into it:

mkdir your_cocorico
cd your_cocorico

Finally, install Cocorico:

docker run --name your_cocorico -ti -p 8080:8080 -p 3306:3306 -p 9001:9001 -p 27017:27017  -v `pwd`:/cocorico -v `pwd`/tmp/mysql:/var/lib/mysql -v `pwd`/tmp/mongo:/data/db -e HOST_UID=$UID cocolabs/cocorico

- PORTS: Can the 4 port numbers be changed if necessary?
- Running the above with -p 80:80 as instructed in cocorico-docker documentation failed:

- Changing it to -p 8080:8080 as suggested here succeeded:

A list of symfony operations should start. If it finishes with cocorio is alive - congratulations!

The following docker commands come very handy if running into problems:

docker stop $(docker ps -a -q)
docker rm $(docker ps -a -q)
docker system prune

Now let's set it up!

Step 2 — Setting up Cocorico (dev)

First, let's take care base variables and environment:

- Edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf ?
- Add something like this (what are the correct ServerName ServerAlias and DocumentRoot)?:

<VirtualHost *:8080>
	ServerName your_cocorico
    ServerAlias your_cocorico

    #For multiple images uploads
    LimitRequestBody 240000000

    DocumentRoot /home/_username/_projects/your_cocorico/web
    <Directory /home/_username/_projects/your_cocorico/web>
    	#For performance and security reasons we should not use htaccess in prod
        AllowOverride Indexes FileInfo AuthConfig
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

- Steps after connecting to the container?

docker exec -it --user cocorico your_cocorico sh

- What are the urls to access admin and landing page?

- What are the admin credentials for first login?

The outputs currently are, respectively:

http://localhost/

>>"Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page"

http://localhost:8080/

>>"This site can’t be reached
ERR_SOCKET_NOT_CONNECTED"

http://localhost:3306/

>>"5.5.5-10.2.22-MariaDB-log  mysql_native_password Got packets out of order"

http://localhost:9001/

>>"Supervisor status"

http://localhost:27017/

>>"It looks like you are trying to access MongoDB over HTTP on the native driver port."

Step 3 — Deploying Cocorico (prod)
