Docker Nginx Image for Invision Community Ipboard

This container image includes PHP 8.2 and Nginx for Invision Community.

Description

PHP 8.2 is available as a container and serves as a base platform for building and running various PHP 8.2 applications and frameworks.

Ipboard Invision Community is not included in the container. For more information and to download files, visit the Invision Community website.

Usage

Basic Usage

Example with local storage:

docker run -d --name ipboard -v "{your-ipboard-installation-files}":/app -e WEB_ALIAS_DOMAIN=mydomain.com cmer81/ipboard:latest

Database Configuration

By default, this container does not contain the database for Ipboard. You need to use either an existing database or a database container.

The Ipboard setup wizard (which should appear on first run) allows connecting to an existing MySQL/MariaDB. You can also link a database container, e.g., --link my-mysql:mysql, and then use mysql as the database host during setup.

Persistent Data

Ipboard installation and data beyond the database (file uploads, etc.) are stored in the unnamed docker volume at /app.

To make data persistent and enable backups, use a named docker volume or mount a host folder:

Ipboard volume:

docker run -d \
    -p 443:443 -p 80:80 \
    -v ipboard_html:/app \
    cmer81/ipboard:latest

Database volume:

docker run -d \
    -v db:/var/lib/mysql \
    mariadb

Custom Build
