System Overview

You can run everything in one container, but the recommended setup is to split Koha in three/four parts:

  • Koha container
  • Mysql server (Official docker mysql image)
  • Mysql data (Named Data Volume)
  • Index data (Named Data Volume, if you want persistent search inside koha).

Koha container

  • The running Koha code, including plack, REST API, SIP server and Zebra indexer.
  • Using-the-Koha-Docker-image#supervisord
  • Connects to mysql server either via docker network or link to mysql server container.

Mysql server

  • Standard mysql server, optionally exposed to host at port 3306
  • Mounts Mysql Data Volume

Mysql data

  • A Docker Named Volume, meaning an isolated file/folder structure that can be mounted anywhere.
  • Typically mounted when starting mysql server :
docker run -d -v "koha_mysql_data:/var/lib/mysql" mysql:5.6.20

Koha index data

  • Same as above, typically mounted when starting koha container
docker run -d -v "koha_index:/var/lib/koha/myKoha" digibib/koha:<GITREF>
