Database in volumes

If you want to preserve data in the event of a container deletion, or version upgrade, you can assign the MySQL data into a named volume:

docker volume create --name mysql
docker run -d --name limesurvey -v mysql:/var/lib/mysql -p 80:80 crramirez/limesurvey:latest

If you delete the container simply run again the above command. The installation page will appear again. Don't worry just put the same parameters as before and limesurvey will recognize the database.

Upload folder

If you want to preserve the uploaded files in the event of a container deletion, or version upgrade, you can assign the upload folder into a named volume:

docker volume create --name upload
docker run -d --name limesurvey -v upload:/app/upload -v mysql:/var/lib/mysql -p 80:80 crramirez/limesurvey:latest

If you delete the container simply run again the above command. The installation page will appear again. Don't worry just put the same parameters as before and limesurvey will recognize the database and the uploaded files including images.

Using Docker Compose

You can use docker compose to automate the above command if you create a file called docker-compose.yml and put in there the following:

limesurvey:
  ports:
    - "80:80"
  volumes:
    - mysql:/var/lib/mysql
    - upload:/app/upload
  image:
    crramirez/limesurvey:latest
volumes:
  mysql:
  upload:

And run:

docker-compose up -d
