Hello
I’m trying to install a Joomla! on my Docker
I replicate an image on a file called compose.yaml with the below content:

services:

  joomla:
    image: joomla:6.0
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8080:80
    environment:
      JOOMLA_DB_HOST: db
      JOOMLA_DB_USER: joomla
      JOOMLA_DB_PASSWORD: examplepass
      JOOMLA_DB_NAME: joomla_db
      JOOMLA_SITE_NAME: Joomla
      JOOMLA_ADMIN_USER: Joomla Hero
      JOOMLA_ADMIN_USERNAME: joomla
      JOOMLA_ADMIN_PASSWORD: joomla@secured
      JOOMLA_ADMIN_EMAIL: joomla@example.com
    volumes:
      - joomla_data:/var/www/html
    networks:
      - joomla_network

  db:
    image: mariadb:10.5.26
    restart: always
    environment:
      MYSQL_DATABASE: joomla_db
      MYSQL_USER: joomla
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: examplepass
      MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD: '1'
    volumes:
      - db_data:/var/lib/mysql
    networks:
      - joomla_network

volumes:
  joomla_data:
  db_data:

networks:
  joomla_network:

but I have this message (I try with a real email address and without it)

✘ db Error authentication required - email must be verified before using account

Anyone having a clue of what I’m supposed to do here?
thanks in advance

Hello

In case of, you can find tutorials about docker and joomla here : Personal blog about Docker, PHP, Joomla and much more | Christophe Avonture

If I quickly compare your yaml ans mine, I see i’m using a depends_on clause for the CMS while you don’t. There are perhaps other differences but it’s difficult to spot right now on my smartphone.

Hello Christophe
thanks for your link - I’ll have a look
however, I found my issue. I tried already by the past to install Docker with 1 adress and I reactivate the stuff with an other one… so I had to confirm again my real mail address :smiley:
I’m now able to run a J!6 under Docker

Think to add depends_on to make sure Mysql is ready to handle Joomla requests. If running the Joomla container is faster than the db one, without depends_on, you’ll get problems.

But… I know who you are ! :wink: Le monde est petit…

en effet, le monde est tout petit :smiley:

joomla is popular in 2025 ?)

First post just for that ? Popular probably not but this has nothing to do with the quality of that CMS.
