2. Click + NEW workload to start new project deploy

• The workload can be edit later

• The steps belows will contain steps for the first deploy which is Joomla and second deploy which is MySQL that each of deploy include 1 service

• Please do all of Joomla part first and then repeatedly done step 3 to step 5.3 with MySQL

• When you already done with step 3 to step 5.3 with Joomla and MySQL, you can continue with step 6

3. Name the project on top of page and in deployment part, and it will shown in namespace workload portal

• Note: project name and deployment name didn’t have to be the same name. Project name will be shown on workload portal with static name, 1 project name can contain many deployment name.

• For Joomla

• You can use the same workload because workload can contain many deployment

• For MySQL

4. In Containers part

General

type in the container name and docker images that come from repository of docker hub ,it can be your images or other images that share on docker hub. If you don’t have your own image, find it in docker hub repository and get the name of images.

• For Joomla

• For MySQL

4.1 In container part fill in container name and images that you choose from docker hub or your own images.

• Note: Container name can be freely to create and didn’t have to be the same name with docker images, deployment or project name.

• For Joomla

• For MySQL

  • If MySQL is error you have to change MySQL to latest version likes in this steps.
  • From mysql->mysql:5

4.2 Port of the website, the name of the port will be free to create but the port number have to use the number that you run the website. Example likes you run website on https://localhost:4000 you have to type port number 4000. Default http:80

• For Joomla
  • Joomla can use port number 4000 or default port of HTTP which is 80.
• For MySQL
  • MySQL have to use port name which is mysql that is a database not the website page can’t use http

Environment

if an images in docker hub have to write a config to download or include more than one file, you have to add or type it in Environment Variable that it will tell you in detailed of repository or image that you want.
