Running Testlink using Docker

Create a dotenv file for Docker

You're going to need a file named .env in the project root directory. You can use .env.example or create your own.

cp -n .env.example .env

Build the image

To build a docker image of testlink, you can use the following command:

docker build --tag testlink:1.9.20 --tag testlink:latest .

Alternatively, build without cached layers:

docker build --no-cache --tag testlink-code:1.9.20 --tag testlink:latest .

Starting up Testlink using docker compose

docker compose up -d

You should now be able to open https://localhost:8080 in your browser to proceed with the Testlink setup

Database configuration

Based on the default docker-compose.yml and .env configuration, you'll use the following settings for the database setup:

Key Value
Database type MySQL/MariaDB (5.6+ / 10.+)
Database host testlink-mysql
Database admin login root
Database admin password masterkey

You can provide your own values for Database name, TestLink DB login and TestLink DB password.

Email configuration

Copy the mail configuration to your installation with:

cp -n docker/custom_config.inc.php ./

You can view the test emails at http://localhost:1080

Restoring the sample database

There is a sample database in docs/db_sample which you can restore with:

docker compose up testlink-restore

Troubleshooting

Creating the Testlink database user manually

You'll need to create the testlink user yourself should you be presented with the following error during setup:

1045 - Access denied for user 'testlink'@'172.29.0.3' (using password: YES) TestLink ::: Fatal Error Connect to database testlink on Host testlink-mysql fails DBMS Error Message: 1045 - Access denied for user 'testlink'@'172.29.0.3' (using password: YES)

Connect to the app or database container and, using the mysql CLI, execute the following commands:

/* update the database name, user name and password
   values based on what you specified during setup */
USE `testlink`;
CREATE USER 'testlink'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'masterkey';
GRANT SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, INSERT ON *.* TO 'testlink'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;

Resetting your database

If you wish to reset your database, you'll need to delete the mysql volume and config_db.inc.php.

docker compose down
docker volume rm testlink-code_mysql
/bin/rm -f config_db.inc.php
docker compose up -d
