To run this application you need Docker Engine 1.10.0. Docker Compose is recommended with a version 1.6.0 or later.

Running TestLink with a database server is the recommended way. You can either use docker-compose or run the containers manually.

This is the recommended way to run TestLink. You can use the following docker compose template:

version: '2'

services:
  mariadb:
    image: 'bitnami/mariadb:latest'
    environment:
      - ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes
      - MARIADB_USER=bn_testlink
      - MARIADB_DATABASE=bitnami_testlink
    volumes:
      - 'mariadb_data:/bitnami'
  testlink:
    image: 'bitnami/testlink:latest'
    ports:
      - '80:80'
      - '443:443'
    volumes:
      - 'testlink_data:/bitnami'
    depends_on:
      - mariadb
    environment:
      - MARIADB_HOST=mariadb
      - MARIADB_PORT_NUMBER=3306
      - TESTLINK_DATABASE_USER=bn_testlink
      - TESTLINK_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_testlink
      - ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes
      - TESTLINK_USERNAME: admin
      - TESTLINK_PASSWORD: verysecretadminpassword
      - TESTLINK_EMAIL: [email protected]

volumes:
  mariadb_data:
    driver: local
  testlink_data:
    driver: local

If you want to run the application manually instead of using docker-compose, these are the basic steps you need to run:

1. Create a new network for the application and the database:

$ docker network create testlink-tier

2. Create a volume for MariaDB persistence and create a MariaDB container

$ docker volume create --name mariadb_data
$ docker run -d --name mariadb \
  -e ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  -e MARIADB_USER=bn_testlink \
  -e MARIADB_DATABASE=bitnami_testlink \
  --net testlink-tier \
  --volume mariadb_data:/bitnami \
  bitnami/mariadb:latest

Note: You need to give the container a name in order for TestLink to resolve the host

3. Create volumes for Testlink persistence and launch the container

$ docker volume create --name testlink_data
$ docker run -d --name testlink -p 80:80 -p 443:443 \
  -e ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  -e TESTLINK_DATABASE_USER=bn_testlink \
  -e TESTLINK_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_testlink \
  --net testlink-tier \
  --volume testlink_data:/bitnami \
  bitnami/testlink:latest

Then you can access your application at http://your-ip/

If you remove the container all your data and configurations will be lost, and the next time you run the image the database will be reinitialized. To avoid this loss of data, you should mount a volume that will persist even after the container is removed.

For persistence you should mount a volume at the /bitnami path. Additionally you should mount a volume for persistence of the MariaDB data.

The above examples define docker volumes namely mariadb_data and testlink_data. The TestLink application state will persist as long as these volumes are not removed.

To avoid inadvertent removal of these volumes you can mount host directories as data volumes. Alternatively you can make use of volume plugins to host the volume data.

This requires a minor change to the docker-compose.yml template previously shown:

version: '2'

services:
  mariadb:
    image: 'bitnami/mariadb:latest'
    environment:
      - ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes
      - MARIADB_USER=bn_testlink
      - MARIADB_DATABASE=bitnami_testlink
    volumes:
      - '/path/to/mariadb-persistence:/bitnami'
  testlink:
    image: 'bitnami/testlink:latest'
    environment:
      - TESTLINK_DATABASE_USER=bn_testlink
      - TESTLINK_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_testlink
      - ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes
    ports:
      - '80:80'
      - '443:443'
    volumes:
      - '/path/to/testlink-persistence:/bitnami'
    depends_on:
      - mariadb

In this case you need to specify the directories to mount on the run command. The process is the same than the one previously shown:

1. Create a network (if it does not exists):

$ docker network create testlink-tier

2. Create a MariaDB container with host volume:

$ docker run -d --name mariadb \
  -e ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  -e MARIADB_USER=bn_testlink \
  -e MARIADB_DATABASE=bitnami_testlink \
  --net testlink-tier \
  --volume /path/to/mariadb-persistence:/bitnami \
  bitnami/mariadb:latest

Note: You need to give the container a name in order for TestLink to resolve the host

3. Run the TestLink container:

$ docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 --name testlink \
  -e ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
  -e TESTLINK_DATABASE_USER=bn_testlink \
  -e TESTLINK_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_testlink \
  --net testlink-tier \
  --volume /path/to/testlink-persistence:/bitnami \
  bitnami/testlink:latest

Bitnami provides up-to-date versions of MariaDB and TestLink, including security patches, soon after they are made upstream. We recommend that you follow these steps to upgrade your container. We will cover here the upgrade of the TestLink container. For the MariaDB upgrade see https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-mariadb/blob/master/README.md#upgrade-this-image

1. Get the updated images:

$ docker pull bitnami/testlink:latest

2. Stop your container

• For docker-compose: $ docker-compose stop testlink
• For manual execution: $ docker stop testlink

3. Take a snapshot of the application state

$ rsync -a /path/to/testlink-persistence /path/to/testlink-persistence.bkp.$(date +%Y%m%d-%H.%M.%S)

Additionally, snapshot the MariaDB data

You can use these snapshots to restore the application state should the upgrade fail.

4. Remove the stopped container

• For docker-compose: $ docker-compose rm testlink
• For manual execution: $ docker rm testlink

5. Run the new image

• For docker-compose: $ docker-compose up testlink
• For manual execution (mount the directories if needed): docker run --name testlink bitnami/testlink:latest

6. Execute upgrading steps In some cases you need to do some steps to finish the upgrading, please follow the upgrading instructions from TestLink. The TestLink install files are located at /opt/bitnami/testlink_install.

When you start the testlink image, you can adjust the configuration of the instance by passing one or more environment variables either on the docker-compose file or on the docker run command line.

• TESTLINK_USERNAME: TestLink admin username. Default: user
• TESTLINK_PASSWORD: TestLink admin password. Default: bitnami
• TESTLINK_EMAIL: TestLink admin email. Default: [email protected]
• TESTLINK_LANGUAGE: TestLink default language. Default: en_US

• MARIADB_HOST: Hostname for MariaDB server. Default: mariadb
• MARIADB_PORT_NUMBER: Port used by MariaDB server. Default: 3306
• TESTLINK_DATABASE_NAME: Database name that TestLink will use to connect with the database. Default: bitnami_testlink
• TESTLINK_DATABASE_USER: Database user that TestLink will use to connect with the database. Default: bn_testlink
• TESTLINK_DATABASE_PASSWORD: Database password that TestLink will use to connect with the database. No defaults.
• ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD: It can be used to allow blank passwords. Default: no

• MARIADB_HOST: Hostname for MariaDB server. Default: mariadb
• MARIADB_PORT_NUMBER: Port used by MariaDB server. Default: 3306
• MARIADB_ROOT_USER: Database admin user. Default: root
• MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD: Database password for the MARIADB_ROOT_USER user. No defaults.
• MYSQL_CLIENT_CREATE_DATABASE_NAME: New database to be created by the mysql client module. No defaults.
• MYSQL_CLIENT_CREATE_DATABASE_USER: New database user to be created by the mysql client module. No defaults.
• MYSQL_CLIENT_CREATE_DATABASE_PASSWORD: Database password for the MYSQL_CLIENT_CREATE_DATABASE_USER user. No defaults.
• ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD: It can be used to allow blank passwords. Default: no

If you want to add a new environment variable:

• For docker-compose add the variable name and value under the application section:

testlink:
  image: bitnami/testlink:latest
  ports:
    - '80:80'
    - '443:443'
  environment:
    - TESTLINK_PASSWORD=my_password

• For manual execution add a -e option with each variable and value:

$ docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 --name testlink
  -e TESTLINK_PASSWORD=my_password \
  --net testlink-tier \
  --volume /path/to/testlink-persistence:/bitnami/testlink \
  --volume /path/to/apache-persistence:/bitnami/apache \
  --volume /path/to/php-persistence:/bitnami/php \
  bitnami/testlink:latest

To configure TestLink to send email using SMTP you can set the following environment variables:

• SMTP_ENABLE: Enable SMTP mail delivery.
• SMTP_HOST: SMTP host.
• SMTP_PORT: SMTP port.
• SMTP_USER: SMTP account user.
• SMTP_PASSWORD: SMTP account password.
• SMTP_CONNECTION_MODE: SMTP connection mode, ssl or tls.

This would be an example of SMTP configuration using a GMail account:

• docker-compose:

testlink:
  image: bitnami/testlink:latest
  ports:
    - '80:80'
    - '443:443'
  environment:
    - MARIADB_HOST=mariadb
    - MARIADB_PORT_NUMBER=3306
    - TESTLINK_DATABASE_USER=bn_testlink
    - TESTLINK_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_testlink
    - SMTP_ENABLE=true
    - SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
    - SMTP_PORT=587
    - [email protected]
    - SMTP_PASSWORD=your_password
    - SMTP_CONNECTION_MODE=tls

• For manual execution:

$ docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 --name testlink \
  -e MARIADB_HOST=mariadb \
  -e MARIADB_PORT_NUMBER=3306 \
  -e TESTLINK_DATABASE_USER=bn_testlink \
  -e TESTLINK_DATABASE_NAME=bitnami_testlink \
  -e SMTP_ENABLE=true \
  -e SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com -e SMTP_PORT=587 \
  -e [email protected] \
  -e SMTP_PASSWORD=your_password \
  -e SMTP_CONNECTION_MODE=tls \
  --net testlink-tier \
  --volume /path/to/testlink-persistence:/bitnami \
  bitnami/testlink:latest
