Moodle App Docker Images

Moodle HQ provides a couple of Docker images that contain the Moodle App ready for use. You can search all the available versions in Docker Hub.

In order to run them, you should have Docker installed and we recommend that you have some basic understanding on how it works.

Running the images

You can run the latest stable version of the application using the following command:

docker run --rm -p 8100:443 moodlehq/moodleapp

This will launch the container running the application and expose it locally on your port 8100. You should be able to open it on https://localhost:8100.

If you want to use a specific version, you can do it using the tag with the release number:

docker run --rm -p 8100:443 moodlehq/moodleapp:4.4.0

You can also use the development version using the next tag:

docker run --rm -p 8100:443 moodlehq/moodleapp:next

Using a specific environment

By default, the application will be launched on a production environment. If you only want to use the application, that will suffice. But if you are trying to debug or run some tests it may not work.

You can use images on different environments by adding their short name as a suffix. The available environments are production (no suffix), development (-dev suffix) and testing (-test suffix):

Using the latest stable version

docker run --rm -p 8100:443 moodlehq/moodleapp:latest-test
docker run --rm -p 8100:443 moodlehq/moodleapp:latest-dev

Using a specific version

docker run --rm -p 8100:443 moodlehq/moodleapp:4.0.0-test
docker run --rm -p 8100:443 moodlehq/moodleapp:4.0.0-dev

Using the latest development version

docker run --rm -p 8100:443 moodlehq/moodleapp:next-test
docker run --rm -p 8100:443 moodlehq/moodleapp:next-dev

Using old versions

Before version 4.4.0, images didn't run on a secure context, so you'd need to access them on http://localhost:8100 and expose port 80 instead:

docker run --rm -p 8100:80 moodlehq/moodleapp:4.3.0
