need persistence volume for qloapps

[amjad489]

Hello Team,

i'm working on setting up qloapps using docker. However I dont see any where in the document where it mentions what is the location to mount for application. Because we are in testing phase and we cannot keep loosing the data. I'm sharing the docker-compose for your reference.

version: '3.8'

services:
  qloappsv161:
    image: webkul/qloapps_docker:latest
    container_name: qloappsv161
    restart: always
    depends_on:
      - mysql
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "2222:22"
    environment:
      USER_PASSWORD: qloappsuserpassword
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: myrootpassword
      MYSQL_DATABASE: qlo161
      MYSQL_USER: qloappsuser
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: qloappsuserpassword
      MYSQL_HOST: mysql
    networks:
      - qloapps_network
    volumes:
      - ./qloapps_data:/home/qloapps/www/QloApps  # Persist application data

  mysql:
    image: mysql:5.7
    container_name: qloapps_mysql
    restart: always
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: myrootpassword
      MYSQL_DATABASE: qlo161
      MYSQL_USER: qloappsuser
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: qloappsuserpassword
    ports:
      - "3306:3306"
    volumes:
      - ./mysql_data:/var/lib/mysql
    networks:
      - qloapps_network


networks:
  qloapps_network:
    driver: bridge

To persist QloApps data and avoid losing changes during container restarts, you need to properly mount the application directory. Currently, your docker-compose.yml mounts:

volumes:

• ./qloapps_data:/home/qloapps/www/QloApps # Persist application data

However, if qloapps_data on your host is empty, the corresponding directory inside the container will also be blank. To fix this:

Get inside the directory qloapps_data of your host

Clone QloApps Files:
Run the following command on your host machine:

git clone https://github.com/Qloapps/QloApps

This ensures the necessary files exist before mounting.

Ensure the volume is mapped correctly:

volumes:

• ./qloapps_data:/home/qloapps/www/QloApps

Rebuild and Up the Containers:

docker-compose up -d

Now, any changes inside qloapps_data will persist, even if the container is stopped or removed.

or you can create a docker volume and mount that volume to the container in your docker-compose file.
