dockerhub page says port 80 is opened, but it's port 9000 fcgi that is opened about dockerfiles HOT 10 OPEN

For those who might care this is how I got it working on my setup where the only part of the image I wanted was the ninja invoice as I am running nginx and mysql on the host in front of multiple docker images and other sites.

nginx settings:

    server {
      listen _YOUR_SERVER_IP_:80;
      server_name _YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME_;
      return 301 https://_YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME_$request_uri;

Docker-compose.yml

services:
  app:
    image: invoiceninja/invoiceninja:latest
    env_file: env
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - /var/www/app/public:/var/www/app/public:rw,delegated
      - /var/www/app/storage:/var/www/app/storage:rw,delegated
      - ./config/php/php.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/php.ini
      - ./config/php/php-cli.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/php-cli.ini
    ports:
      - 9000:9000

Please note a couple things:

1. If is CRITICAL that your public directory be at /var/www/app/public Nginx needs to have the EXACT same path as PHP uses. At this point you can't change the dockers public directory. So this is a fixed value!!! This public directory will be automatically seeded/filled by the invoice ninja when it starts up so that nginx can serve static files like the css/js/images.
2. it is also critical that the ports match, so if you changed the docker file to - 9005:9000 then in the Nginx configuration you need to use port 9005.
3. I also copied the two php config files from this repo and dropped them into ./config/php in this docker app folder.
4. Port 9000 is a FastCGI/FPM port, it is NOT a browsable/http port, this is why you have to have Nginx in front of it and communicating with it using its own FastCGI/FPM protocol.

Now in my case, I actually created a symlink at /var/www/app/public to point to where I actually store my public files as I prefer to keep them with the app docker folder so the storage&public files actually live physically else where. Nginx must still be pointed and be able to see the files in that folder /var/www/app/public (hence using a symlink here) or it can't pass on the php requests properly or serve any of the static files..

from dockerfiles.

I can confirm that I'm experiencing similar issues. The Docker log indicates that the expected port is not being exposed as per the documentation. Here is the Docker log output for reference:

It appears that the documentation might not accurately reflect the current behavior of the Docker image, particularly with respect to the ports being exposed and the PHP version specified. Any guidance on this would be helpful.

from dockerfiles.

I speculate the port 80 thing might be before the docker image shifted to serving PHP-FPM (or equivalent) since so far as I can tell the current docker images only serve PHP-FPM services (and on port 9000), hence needing another nginx in-front of it to serve the other content too (non php files, and manage the php content sent to the PHP-FPM in the docker image).

from dockerfiles.

I just followed the instructions in the https://github.com/invoiceninja/dockerfiles page using docker compose, and I am getting the same errors shown here when I checked the logs for the app container.

May I know what I need to update in order to get the application running? Thank you.

from dockerfiles.

From what I've seen, the exposed port 9000 service is PHP-FPM or roughly equivalent. So you will need to stick something in front of it (like nginx, but others can work) to handle incoming HTTP(S) traffic, and then be configured to use the invoiceNinja container for PHP-FPM functionality for the tool. In my case I added a side-car/secondary container for nginx to do this.

Really aggravating that the documentation is so egregiously out of date with the actual behaviour of the container. It's not even a lot of work to change that documentation (which frankly isn't my job). So yeah, we (myself + others) have to resort to cobbling it together ourselves with half-assed and incomplete documentation.

from dockerfiles.

Thanks for the prompt response, I greatly appreciate it. Unfortunately, I am not a very technical person so this is a little hard for me to follow. Do you think you can give me a bit more guidance on how I can get it running?

I am trying to host Invoice Ninja from my Synology using docker, and I am using Synology's built-in nginx reverse proxy.

In my docker-compose.yml which I have taken from the official docs, I have the following:

services:
  server:
    image: nginx
    restart: always
    env_file: env
    volumes:
      # Vhost configuration
      #- ./config/caddy/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfiledocker-com
      - ./config/nginx/in-vhost.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/in-vhost.conf:ro
      - ./docker/app/public:/var/www/app/public:ro
    depends_on:
      - app
    # Run webserver nginx on port 80
    # Feel free to modify depending what port is already occupied
    ports:
      - "8001:80"
      # - "443:443"
    networks:
      - invoiceninja
    # extra_hosts:
    #   - "in5.localhost:192.168.0.124 " #host and ip

And in my reverse proxy, I had it set to redirect from https://myurl to localhost:8001 .

How should I be setting it up instead?

Thank you very much again for your help.

Also having the same problem, I don't know how to do that :(

Are you running it in kubernetes/k8s?

If so, would you mind sharing a first-page-load waterfall? I'm asking because my k8s setup, while working, the initial load is still PAINNNNNNNN.

from dockerfiles.

No just a simple docker container. But I can tell you my first load is fairly fast lest than 2 seconds (was my total waterfall time after emptying the entire cache, so a totally fresh load) and I also have another task in the background downloading so normally it is way faster than 2 secs
