Docker container & Apache2

Linux Ubuntu:

I am trying to install the openkm-ce Docker-container container and use the regular (as in not a Docker container) Apache2 reverse proxy to allow external access.

The login-page does open, but when I try to log in as okmAdmin, the login-screen reloads (with a new session ID).

I started the docker container with:
Code: Select all
docker run --name openkm-ce -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 openkm/openkm-ce
I added the 127.0.0.1 in order to prevent direct access to the container from external sources.

The Apache-config file looks like this:
Code: Select all
<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName openkm.mydomain.com
  RedirectMatch ^/$ /OpenKM

  ProxyPreserveHost Off
  ProxyRequests Off

  ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8080/
  ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8080/

  ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/openkm-error.log
  CustomLog /var/log/apache2/openkm-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
The "openkm.mydomain.com" is one of multiple domains pointing to the server.

Has anyone sucessfully managed to do this?

AFAIK it should work. Which error is showing?

It does not show any error. The openkm-error.log is clear and the openkm-access.log shows that it just opens another session after sending the login-data.

I just played around with the apache-conf-file and found a "solution":

It will work as long as you do not use "openkm" as subdomain. "doc.mydomain.com" e.g. works perfectly fine.

I have no idea why.

I think this is due to the default hostname. Try changing it with the --hostname parameter when creating the container.
