List of Dockerfiles

Following is the list of Docker images that are maintained by EasyEngine team:

easyengine/nginx-proxy
easyengine/nginx
easyengine/php
easyengine/mariadb
easyengine/redis
easyengine/postfix
easyengine/mailhog
easyengine/cron

easyengine/nginx-proxy

It is a fork of jwilder/nginx-proxy that routes request to individual site’s nginx containers. We’ve modified nginx-proxy’s go template used to generate config to support some changes that EasyEngine needed such as –

Allow routing based on path instead of just host
Change Basic Auth file structure to support authentication only on admin-tools vs entire site.
Add IP whitelisting support using nginx allow module

Note: SSL is terminated at nginx-proxy.

easyengine/nginx

Every site will have it’s own nginx container. They will be created from this image.

Previously we used to manage our own nginx build. But in v4, we’ve decided to use openresty since it has all the nginx modules we need.

easyengine/php

It runs PHP process and has other utilities such as WP-CLI.

The list of php modules is here.

easyengine/mariadb

Mariadb database container.

easyengine/redis

Redis is used for full page caching and WordPress object caching.

easyengine/postfix

Postfix is used to send emails. We highly recommend you to use external email sending service such as Amazon SES on sites where emails are critical such as e-commerce sites.

For Amazon SES, you can use aws-ses-wp-mail plugin.

Postfix is not necessary and could be disabled in such case. The feature to disable postfix will be available in future EasyEngine releases.

easyengine/mailhog

Mailhog serves as a mailcatcher utility when you do not want your mail to go out of your server. This is desirable in dev/test environment.

If you have enabled mailhog, postfix will send emails to mailhog.

easyengine/cron

It is used to manage crons in EasyEngine. Uses ofelia to schedule crons.

Here is documentation on how to add cron.
