Grav is a Fast, Simple, and Flexible file-based Web-platform. There is Zero installation required. Although Grav follows principles similar to other flat-file CMS platforms, it has a different design philosophy than most.
The underlying architecture of Grav is built using well established and best-in-class technologies. This is to ensure that Grav is simple to use and easy to extend. Some of these key technologies include:
- Twig Templating: for powerful control of the user interface
- Markdown: for easy content creation
- YAML: for simple configuration
- Parsedown: for fast Markdown and Markdown Extra support
- Doctrine Cache: for performance
- Pimple Dependency Injection Container: for extensibility and maintainability
- Symfony Event Dispatcher: for plugin event handling
- Symfony Console: for CLI interface
- Gregwar Image Library: for dynamic image manipulation
A Docker image based on minideb:buster linux with Grav CMS and PHP7.4/nginx.
- bitnami/minideb:buster
- php7.4 + FPM
- nginx
- GRAV Core
- GRAV Admin Plugin
- optional multisite installation using subdirectories
docker create \
--name=grav \
--restart unless-stopped \
-p 80:80 \
-e DUID=1000 \
-e DGID=1000 \
-e GRAV_MULTISITE=subdirectory \
-v /data/containers/grav/backup:/var/www/grav/backup \
-v /data/containers/grav/logs:/var/www/grav/logs \
-v /data/containers/grav/user:/var/www/grav/user \
dsavell/grav
docker start grav
latest, core, 1.6.31, core-1.6.31 (Dockerfile)
admin, admin-1.6.31 (Dockerfile)
You can choose between ,using tags, no tag is required for grav default installation.
Add one of the tags, if required:
- Example: dsavell/grav:admin
- latest: GRAV Core
- admin: GRAV Core + Grav-Admin-Plugin
Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.
| Parameter | Function |
|---|---|
-p 80 |
http |
-e DUID=1000 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
-e DGID=1000 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
-e GRAV_MULTISITE=subdirectory |
Deploy a Grav multisite (subdirectory) installation |
-v /var/www/backup |
Contains your location for Grav backups |
-v /var/www/logs |
Contains your location for your Grav log files |
-v /var/www/user |
Contains your Grav content |
When using volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user DUID and group DGID.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance DUID=1000 and DGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:
$ id username
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
