Hello Blesta Community! This container is designed to streamline the setup and deployment of Blesta, making it easier for everyone to get started with this excellent billing and client management software. Key Features: - PHP 7.4 and Apache: The container runs on a PHP 7.4 environment with Apache, providing a stable and reliable platform for Blesta. - Pre-installed Blesta 5.9.0: Blesta version 5.9.0 comes pre-installed in the container, saving you time and effort in installation. - Essential Extensions: Includes necessary PHP extensions like PDO, cURL, GD, LDAP, IMAP, and more for full compatibility with Blesta. - Security Enhancements: Integrated IonCube Loader for secure execution of PHP files, and IMAP with Kerberos support for enhanced email functionalities. - Easy Deployment: Deploy using Docker or Docker Compose with straightforward instructions, making it accessible even for those new to Docker. How to Use: - Pull the Docker image: `docker pull koolwilly/blesta` - Run the Docker container: `docker run -d -p 80:80 koolwilly/blesta` - Access Blesta: Navigate to `http://localhost/install` or `http://[your-server-ip]/install` Docker Compose Support: For those preferring Docker Compose, the setup includes a service for Blesta and a MariaDB database. It simplifies running Blesta alongside its database in a containerized environment. I'm looking forward to your feedback and suggestions. Let's make deploying and managing Blesta easier and more efficient for everyone!

There's 3 images on the Docker Hub for Blesta, 2 of which were invalid for me and another that ran in PHP 7 and seemed to come with the kitchen sink. That didn't sit well with me so I decided to create a bare bones instance of Blesta that also passes all required and recommended set ups. The end result is here: https://hub.docker.com/r/velaware/docker-php-blesta/ It does assume some knowledge of Docker (i.e.: how to find the IP and image ID). But, overall, it will get you up and running. This currently comes pre-packaged with 4.0.0 ready to install, but will be improving on this soon. Changing this isn't that difficult. This is in the README.md file too (just go to the GitHub repo) but to access this for now you need to go to /blesta. This will be fixed soon.
