Passbolt docker official image

Warning

This is a work in progress branch use at your own risk.

What is passbolt?

Passbolt is a free and open source password manager that allows team members to store and share credentials securely.

Scope of this repository

This repository will allow passbolt power users to customize their passbolt image to fit their needs on specific environments. It is also a community meeting point to exchange feedback, request for new features track issues and pull requests.

Users that do not require any special modifications are encouraged to docker pull the official docker image from the docker hub.

Build the image

Inside the repo directory:

$ docker build . -t passbolt:local

How to use the local image?

Start passbolt instance

Passbolt requires mysql to be running. The following example use mysql official docker image with the default passbolt credentials.

$ docker run -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=<root_password> \
             -e MYSQL_DATABASE=<mysql_database> \
             -e MYSQL_USER=<mysql_user> \
             -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=<mysql_password> \
             mysql

Then you can start passbolt just by providing the database container ip in the db_host environment variable.

$ docker run -e DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_HOST=<mysql_container_host> \
             -e DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=<mysql_password> \
             -e DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_USERNAME=<mysql_user> \
             -e DATASOURCES_DEFAULT_DATABASE=<mysql_database> \
             passbolt:local

Once the process is done, just navigate to the following url in your browser: https://passbolt_container_ip

Note on starting passbolt container on MacOS systems

Due to the limitations of docker networking under MacOS users should start the container exposing a port on the host:

$ docker run -p host_port:443 -e DB_HOST=<mysql_container_ip> passbolt:local

And access it using https://localhost:host_port

Advanced configuration

What if you already have a set of gpg keys and custom configuration files for passbolt? It it possible to mount the desired configuration files as volumes.

Configuration files subject to be persisted:

• /var/www/passbolt/config/app.php
• /var/www/passbolt/config/gpg/serverkey.asc
• /var/www/passbolt/config/gpg/serverkey_private.asc
• /var/www/passbolt/app/webroot/img/public/images

SSL certificate files

It is also possible to mount a ssl certificate on the following paths:

• /etc/ssl/certs/certificate.crt
• /etc/ssl/certs/certificate.key

Requirements:

• rng-tools are required on host machine to speed up entropy generation on containers. This way gpg key creation on passbolt container will be faster.
• mysql >= 5.6
