Docker – Effective Volto – Deployment

Docker

Docker#

As any application on earth, Plone 6 with Volto as frontend can be deployed using Docker. It is recommended that you follow the best practices explained in the "Installing Plone" recent training course by Érico Andréi and Jens Klein.

Simple example#

You'll find in the Volto repository a simple docker-compose example:

plone/volto

docker-compose -f <following_snippet.yml> up

version: '3.3'
services:

  backend:
    image: plone/plone-backend:6.0.0b2
    # Plone 5.2 series can be used too
    # image: plone/plone-backend:5.2.9
    ports:
      - '8080:8080'
    environment:
      - SITE=Plone
      - 'ADDONS=plone.restapi==8.29.0 plone.volto==4.0.0a13 plone.rest==2.0.0a5'
      - 'PROFILES=plone.volto:default-homepage'

  frontend:
    image: 'plone/plone-frontend:latest'
    ports:
      - '3000:3000'
    restart: always
    environment:
      # These are needed in a Docker environment since the
      # routing needs to be amended. You can point to the
      # internal network alias.
      RAZZLE_INTERNAL_API_PATH: http://backend:8080/Plone
      RAZZLE_DEV_PROXY_API_PATH: http://backend:8080/Plone
    depends_on:
      - backend
