⚠️ DEPRECATION NOTICE ⚠️

• Plone 4.x is no longer supported.
• Plone 5.x is no longer supported.
• It is strongly recommended to migrate to the latest available Plone version. See https://plone.org/download/release-schedule for details.

Beginning with Plone 6.x, the frontend and backend run in separate Docker images. There's also a a ZEO server Docker image. All Plone 6.0 and later images are supported by the Plone Foundation and are maintained by community volunteers.

• Plone Backend
• Plone Frontend
• ZEO Server

For Docker image usage, see Plone 6 Documentation.

What is Plone?

Plone is a free and open source content management system built on top of the Zope application server.

Features

• Enable add-ons via environment variables.
• Choose between Debian or Alpine based images.
• Built-in RelStorage support, configurable via environment variables (requires Plone 5.2.4+).
• Built-in LDAP/AD support via pas.plugins.ldap (requires Plone 5.2.4+).

Usage

Start a single Plone instance

This will download and start the latest Plone 5 container, based on Debian.

docker run -p 8080:8080 plone

This image includes EXPOSE 8080 (the Plone port), so standard container linking will make it automatically available to the linked containers. Now you can add a Plone Site at http://localhost:8080. The default Zope user and password are admin/admin.

Start Plone within a ZEO cluster

A ZEO cluster is best suited for production setups. You will need a load balancer.
Start ZEO server in the background.

docker run --name=zeo plone zeo

Start two Plone clients, also in the background.

docker run --link=zeo -e ZEO_ADDRESS=zeo:8080 -p 8081:8080 plone
docker run --link=zeo -e ZEO_ADDRESS=zeo:8080 -p 8082:8080 plone

Start Plone in debug mode

You can also start Plone in debug mode (fg) by running the following command.

docker run -p 8080:8080 plone fg

Add-ons

You can enable Plone add-ons via the ADDONS environment variable.

docker run -p 8080:8080 -e PLONE_ADDONS="eea.facetednavigation Products.PloneFormGen" plone

For more information on how to extend this image with your own custom settings, adding more add-ons, building it, or mounting volumes, please refer to the Plone 5 documentation.

Supported environment variables

The Plone image uses several environment variables.

Basic usage

• ADDONS - Customize Plone via Plone add-ons using this environment variable.
• SITE - Add a Plone instance with this ID to Data.fs on first run. If not provided, you'll have to manually add a Plone site via the web UI.
• ZEO_ADDRESS - This environment variable allows you to run the Plone image as a ZEO client.
• VERSIONS - Use specific versions of Plone add-on or Python libraries.

Run Plone and install two add-ons (eea.facetednavigation and collective.easyform).

docker run -p 8080:8080 -e SITE="mysite" -e ADDONS="eea.facetednavigation collective.easyform" plone

To use specific add-on versions, change the environment variable arguments as shown.

-e ADDONS="eea.facetednavigation collective.easyform" \
-e VERSIONS="eea.facetednavigation=13.3 collective.easyform=2.1.0"

To use Plone REST API, start the Plone Docker image, then issue a command to curl.

docker run -p 8080:8080 -e SITE=plone plone
curl -H 'Accept: application/json' http://localhost:8080/plone

Advanced usage

For advanced usage, the images support the following environment variables.

Plone

• PLONE_ADDONS, ADDONS - Customize Plone via Plone add-ons using these environment variables.
• PLONE_SITE, SITE - Add a Plone instance with this ID to Data.fs on first run. If not provided, you'll have to manually add a Plone site via the web UI.
• PLONE_VERSIONS, VERSIONS - Use specific versions of Plone add-on or Python libraries.
• PLONE_PROFILES, PROFILES - GenericSetup profiles to include when the SITE environment is provided.
• PLONE_ZCML, ZCML - Include custom Plone add-on ZCML files (formerly BUILDOUT_ZCML).
• PLONE_DEVELOP, DEVELOP - Develop new or existing Plone add-ons (formerly BUILDOUT_DEVELOP).

ZEO

• ZEO_ADDRESS - This environment variable allows you to run the Plone image as a ZEO client.
• ZEO_READ_ONLY - Run Plone as a read-only ZEO client. Defaults to off.
• ZEO_CLIENT_READ_ONLY_FALLBACK - A flag indicating whether a read-only remote storage should be acceptable as a fallback when no writable storages are available. Defaults to false.
• ZEO_SHARED_BLOB_DIR - Set this to on if the ZEO server and the instance have access to the same directory. Defaults to off.
• ZEO_STORAGE - Set the storage number of the ZEO storage. Defaults to 1.
• ZEO_CLIENT_CACHE_SIZE - Set the size of the ZEO client cache. Defaults to 128MB.
• ZEO_PACK_KEEP_OLD - Can be set to false to disable the creation of *.fs.old files before the pack is run. Defaults to true.
• HEALTH_CHECK_TIMEOUT - Time in seconds to wait until health check starts. Defaults to 1 second.
• HEALTH_CHECK_INTERVAL - Interval in seconds to check that the Zope application is still healthy. Defaults to 1 second.

CORS

• CORS_ALLOW_ORIGIN - Origins that are allowed access to the resource. Either a comma separated list of origins, for example, https://example.net,https://mydomain.com, or *. Defaults to http://localhost:3000,http://127.0.0.1:3000.

• CORS_MAX_AGE - Indicates how long the results of a preflight request can be cached. Defaults to 3600.

RelStorage

• RELSTORAGE_ADAPTER_OPTIONS - A comma separated list of RelStorage adapter options to set for the plone instance using plone.recipe.zope2instance. This is required to use RelStorage.

All other available environment variables match exactly with RelStorage settings, according to the settings specification available on the docs.

• RELSTORAGE_NAME - name - The name of the storage.
• RELSTORAGE_READ_ONLY - read-only - If true, only reads may be executed against the storage.
• RELSTORAGE_KEEP_HISTORY - keep-history - If this option is set to true, the default value, then the adapter will create and use a history-preserving database schema, such as FileStorage.
• RELSTORAGE_BLOB_DIR - blob-dir - If supplied, the storage will provide ZODB BLOB support. This option specifies the name of the directory to hold BLOB data. The directory will be created if it doesn't exist. If no value, or an empty value, is provided, then no BLOB support will be provided. Defaults to /plone/instance/var/blobstorage.
