Redmine with Persistent Storage

Objective

• Use docker-compose to run Redmine with persistent storage
• Use a named volume for the storage

Bonus

• Use a database server rather than Redmine's default sqlite
• Add adminer to the configuration so the database can be inspected

Pointers

• Documentation: https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/
• docker-compose up will start the containers defined in docker-compose.yml
  • Passing the -d flag will cause the containers to be ran on the background
• docker-compose down will stop the containers defined in docker-compose.yml
• Short template docker-compose.yml:

  version: '3'
  
  services:
    # This is what the container will be called
    SERVICE_NAME_HERE:
      image: IMAGE_NAME_HERE
      # Add other parameters as needed
  
    # Add other services as needed

• Use named volumes for implementing persistent storage
• Look for help on how to use the images from their dockerhub page
