LimeSurvey Instance

Create a functional, but reproducible (simple) instance of LimeSurvey in OpenShift. Complete with an NGiNX proxy server and a MariaDB backend.

Prerequisites

Applications needed will be:

• Docker Hub or Podman Desktop
• Docker CLI ( or Podman CLI )
• Visual Studio Code or equivilent code editor
• A Docker or Quay.io ( RedHat ) account to create repositories.

Build

Individually, the images can be built, tagged, and pushed to a repo for easy access.

1. docker build -f Dockerfile -t [name] .
2. docker image tag [name]:latest [repo]/[name]:[version]
3. docker push [repo]/[name]:[version]

Runtime variables

• ARG VERSION="6.5.8+240517"
• ARG USER="1014150000"
• ARG DIR="/data/limesurvey"

Update these variables as needed.

Extras

MariaDB requires a .env file with the following values:

DB_NAME=''
DB_USER=''
DB_PASSWORD=''
DB_ROOT_PASSWORD=''

The docker-compose.yaml file can be used to create local instances for testing. Otherwise, simply build the images as need and push them to your desired repository.
