This is a PUBLIC repository, to have a basic multistore PrestaShop 8.2 setup for testing purposes.

Uses PrestaShop git instead of the released zip archive to build, so its possible to test unreleased changes. However, the startup takes a while since additional resources are downloaded and build, namely PHP packages, npm modules and the webpack theme build.

In the docker compose file the IP is fixed and the DNS entries ps90.packingpanic.com as well as ps90.packingpanic.de point to it. The two domains will be used for a multistore setup. For other PS versions we use different IPs so we can run the versions in parallel for comparisons.

Setup

To avoid duplicated repository clones (the PrestaShop repository is 2.2GB), its best to have a clone of the PrestaShop git repository at ../PrestaShop.

if test -d ../PrestaShop; then
  cp -a ../PrestaShop .
else
  git clone https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop.git
fi
( cd PrestaShop; git clean -xfd; git checkout c2059fdd9c436c2ecbd7cd97418c13cfbb99562d )

Start PS with:

docker compose up -d
docker compose logs -f

After a while this should finish with:

Redo build and installation

If you changed some settings for docker, you can redo the PrestaShop build and installation. ATTENTION: this removes any changes you did within PrestaShop.

This sequence only removes the database volume and keeps the other volumes which are actiing as cache for the npm and composer artifact downloads.

docker compose down
docker volume rm $(basename $PWD | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')_db-data
( cd PrestaShop; git clean -xfd )
docker compose up -d
docker compose logs -f
