We provide a Dockerfile that allows you to easily create and use your own Docker image.

The easiest way is to use our prebuilt images from Dockerhub. You can start an admidio docker container with the following command:

docker run --detach -it --name Admidio \
  --memory="1024m" --cpu-quota="80000" --cpuset-cpus="0-1" \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  --restart="unless-stopped" \
  -v Admidio-files:/var/www/admidio/adm_my_files \
  -v Admidio-themes:/var/www/admidio/adm_themes \
  -v Admidio-plugins:/var/www/admidio/adm_plugins \
  admidio/admidio:latest

For detailed docker usage see README-Docker.md

There are several ways how you can contribute to Admidio.

The easiest way to support us will be our forum. There you can help other users with your knowledge and answer questions. Try to reproduce errors that other users report or give hints to some problems.

Another way is our documentation. We want to deliver a helpful documentation to our users. But there is a lot work to do. You see our current state in the wiki. Just ask us for write permissions in the wiki and you can start.

We always need persons who translate our software Admidio into another language or just update an existing language to the current version. We also need people who translate our documentation into english.

If you have knowledge in PHP programming and know something about HTML, CSS and JavaScript then you can start to help us to improve the software Admidio. You will find our software at GitHub. The handling with GitHub and branches is described in our wiki.

So if you find yourself in one of the above points then we invite you to join our team and help to improve Admidio to one of the best free membership software.

Please visit our changelog for detail information about the bugfixes and enhancements in each version.

If you like the software and our project then we are happy if you donate some money to the project.
