Hi,

I think it would be nice to advise people that a DB and a user must be created (ie with phpmyadmin) before installing this container.

 

Question: could you explain me how to upgrade Dolibarr to version 20 since this container seems "outdated" (version 19)?

Dolibarr installed and working.  I read the HOWTO on changing the login title which I did, HOWEVER, the @ 19.0.2 version is concatenated onto my title name.  How do I remove it??
I want the login TAB to just read (site name) it currently reads (site name @19.0.2).

I've been struggling with this for some time and finally found a fix and wanted to share it. I have been using the Dolibarr container since it's heyday and introduction before it was using the official Dolibarr github and have amassed a collection of modules (self purchased and installed from the Dolistore). Since it's inception of using the official Dolibarr repo I was faced with an issue where when attempting to install an external app or module would constantly pull up and error telling me that
"Installation of external module is not possible from the web interface for the following reason: Failed to write in directory /var/www/html/custom"
So on every container or server reboot I would have to CLI into the container and adjust the permissions for the container and readd my modules due to no persistence in the volumes. However this morning I was able to resolve that and would like to share what I did in case someone else has that issue.
Within the Dolibarr template you will want to add another Path, name it Custom Modules, the container path will be /var/www/html/custom the host path will be
/mnt/user/appdata/---docker_container_name_here---/dolibarr/var/www/html/custom
be sure to change the ---docker_container_name_here--- to your actual docker container name if you had changed it.
Now on server or container reboot you will have persistent storage of your modules.

 

Thanks, I've pushed an update to the template to add the new path.

Hello everyone,

I really enjoy using Dolibarr and have noticed that the last update was quite a while ago.
Is it realistic to expect a new update in the near future?

Looks like dolibarr now maintain an official container so the 3rd-party one was abandoned. 

 

Seems migration should be straightforward, do a good appdata backup then change the repository to

dolibarr/dolibarr

 

Report the result, was fine on my test install but I don't really use it. If all good I'll update the template

Thank you so much for your quick and excellent help! I followed your instructions exactly as you described, and it worked perfectly for me. I was able to update Dolibarr to the latest patch version. Before doing so, I made a backup of both the htdocs directory and the database – and everything is working fine now.

Hello, I'm running the Dolibarr docker in unraid. Everything works as needed. The only issue I have is the "Payment url" generated and sent via email. It can't be accessed from outside the LAN. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks

Not clear enough. Did you take the usual steps to make a container accessible from the outside (reverse proxying) but it doesn't work anyway, or did you not?

So, I went the cloudflare tunnel route. All that did was give me access to the Dolibarr program. I need to grant access to a specific location. (http://192.168.1.37:8036/public/payment/newpayment.php?source=invoice&ref=IN2505-0006) the invoice number will be unique for each order we send out.

FYI, I used the official docker image in community apps.

Thanks

What is that ip/port? is that where you run dolibarr? Did you set the Root URL to your domain in the template?

Yes, that is my install location and where I run Dolibarr. I did not change the Root URL in the template. Should I change it to the domain I used with cloudflare?

Yes, this kind of variable is typically "what should be used in generated links".

Testing now

That did it. So thankful for the nudge. Invaluable resource here!

I've installed this docker, created the db and user and i'm getting a login page. But admin as user and admin as password does not work. even with capital A and some other variations. I've read online that some say you need changeme as password but that doesn't work either. Anyone have an idea why its not working?

the Dolibarr docs mention lx_user as the table in the database with user details but that table doesn't exist. I've rebuild the docker again but its not creating that table.
