Quickly bootstrap a local and broadly shareable prestashop instance with docker-compose.

• docker
• docker-compose
• (optional) an ngrok account

(Optional) if you have an ngrok account, fill your token in .env:

cp .env.dist .env
edit .env

Note: without authentication your ngrok session will last only 2h.

Run the server:

alias dc="docker-compose" # you may store this in ~/.bash_aliases and source ~/.bashrc
dc down && dc up -d

Wait a few minutes and your server will be up, ready to be used from http://localhost:8000/ (will redirect you to a public url like http://xxxxxxxxxxxx.ngrok.io).

Pro tip: to get more information on your ngrok instance go to http://localhost:4040.

Go to http://localhost:8000/admin-test/ to access to your back office, and login with the above credentials:

• login: [email protected]
• password: prestashop_demo

• https://hub.docker.com/r/prestashop/prestashop
• https://hub.docker.com/r/wernight/ngrok

Some ideas for the future:

• enhance performances: https://github.com/PrestaShop/performance-project
• propose a custom Docker image based on:
  • php-fpm / apache or nginx
  • SQLite
• get cleaner docker logs, and add an output for ngrok client info
• add mailHog support https://github.com/mailhog/MailHog
• add settings to support HTTPS (with self-signed certs or Let's encrypt) or basic HTTP
