Deploying OSTicket - Docker, Docker-Compose and Hashicorp Nomad

OSTicket

Deploy OSTicket using Docker, Docker-Compose or Hashicorp Nomad.

• Provision OSticket with Docker
• Hashicorp Nomad to set up an OSTicket Helpdesk - Part I
• Hashicorp Nomad to set up an OSTicket Helpdesk - Part II
• OSTicket REST API Calls

Docker

OSTicket recommends to use the official Docker Image from hub.docker.com:

docker pull osticket/osticket:latest
docker pull mariadb:latest
docker run --name osticket_mysql -d -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=secret \
-e MYSQL_USER=osticket -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=secret -e MYSQL_DATABASE=osticket mariadb:latest
docker run --name osticket -d --link osticket_mysql:mysql -p 8080:80 osticket/osticket

Docker-Compose

Both tasks - frontend and SQL backend - can be combined in a single docker-compose.yml file:

version: '3.8'
services:

  osticket-app:
    image: osticket/osticket:latest
    container_name: osticket
    volumes:

    ports:

    depends_on:
      - osticket-db
    networks:
      - services
    links:
      - osticket-db
    restart: unless-stopped

  osticket-db:
    image: mariadb:latest
    container_name: osticket-db

    environment:
      - MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=secret
      - MYSQL_USER=osticket
      - MYSQL_PASSWORD=secret
      - MYSQL_DATABASE=osticket
      - CONTAINER_NAME=osticket-db
    networks:
