What is librebooking

Librebooking is a simple powerful scheduling solution for any organization, forked from Booked.

Project goal

This project implements the librebooking web application as a docker image.

The image contains the apache web server and the librebooking application files. It needs to be linked to a MariaDB database container.

Upgrade to version 2 of the docker images

Version 1 of the docker images exposed the container directory /var/www/html. This resulted in:

• Storing the application files in a docker volume or a local directory on the host
• A complex upgrade procedure
• Longer container startup time

From version 2, the docker images expose the container directory /config. This implies:

• To store the application configuration file config.php only
• A simple upgrade procedure
• A faster container startup time

Docker images are tagged as follows:

librebooking/librebooking:<application-version>-<docker-image-version>

Examples:

• image v1: librebooking/librebooking:2.8.6-1.2.3
• image v2: librebooking/librebooking:2.8.6-2.0

To upgrade from a version-1 docker image to a version-2 docker image, you just need to:

1. Replace the v1-docker image with the corresponding v2
2. Change the mapping from /var/www/html to /config

On first run, all the application files will be moved to the folder /config/archive on your host docker volume/host local directory and the file config.php will be moved to /config on your host docker volume/host local directory. You can delete the config/archive folder later on.
