Openproject: How to set config/configuration.yml in docker environment

Question

I want to configure the docker version of Open Project with the configuration.yml. Where has the file to be stored or where can I find it. None of the given external directories .asset and .pgconfig contains the yml file.

You can mount single files into your container. So we can adjust the example from the docs like this to include your own configuration.yml:

sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/openproject/{pgdata,assets}
printf "production:\n  disable_password_login: true" > /var/lib/openproject/configuration.yml

docker run -d -p 8080:80 --name openproject -e SECRET_KEY_BASE=secret \
  -v /var/lib/openproject/pgdata:/var/openproject/pgdata \
  -v /var/lib/openproject/assets:/var/openproject/assets \
  -v /var/lib/openproject/configuration.yml:/app/config/configuration.yml \
  openproject/community:11

This, for instance, will disable the password login in OpenProject via the configuration.yml. Usually you would do this via env variables (-e OPENPROJECT_DISABLE__PASSWORD__LOGIN=true) but there are configurations such as for SAML which are indeed easier to just define in the configuration.yml instead.

The file inside of the container is /app/config/configuration.yml.
