Setup ColdFusion with Docker


I would like to introduce how to setup ColdFusion with Docker. It is useful for macOS.

🏀 Setup

(1) Download CommandBox Docker image

The first step is to clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone git@github.com:Ortus-Solutions/docker-commandbox.git
cd docker-commandbox

(2) Run docker container

There is a docker-compose.yml file. So you can run ColdFusion environment by docker:

docker-compose up

You should wait to finish building docker image and run docker container.

(3) Open page

open http://$(docker-machine ip):8080/

You can see the docker page.

(4) Update docker-compose.yml

If you want to run ColdFusion 2016, please change docker-compose.yml like this:

version: '3.3'

services:
  web:
    image: ortussolutions/commandbox:latest
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    volumes:
      - /Users/morizyun/git/coldfusion-test:/app
    environment:
      PORT: 8080
      CFENGINE: adobe@2016
      cfconfig_adminPassword: admin123

(Please change /Users/morizyun/git/coldfusion-test to your local folder to put CF source code.)

After the above change, please re-try following command:

# In a terminal
docker-compose up

# In other terminal
open http://$(docker-machine ip):8080/
