- Description: Mautic as a one-docker-container-has-it-all (including the database) aiming at the simplest possible Mautic deployment, with just one run command. Now on Mautic 7.2.2, Debian 13, PHP 8.4 and MariaDB 11.8.

KISS-Mautic containers are an all-in-one, batteries-included, single-container implementation of a full Mautic server. One `docker run`, no compose file, no orchestration, no external database required.  
The current version is based on:

– Debian 13 (Trixie)  
– MariaDB 11.8 LTS  
– Apache 2.4  
– PHP 8.4-FPM  
– Mautic 7.2.2  
– Plus everything Mautic 7 wants: \~20 PHP extensions, ImageMagick, GraphicsMagick, cron, and the Mautic cron jobs already installed

#### What changed since 6.0.2

**Debian 12 → 13.** PHP 8.4 is the Debian 13 default, and both the Sury PHP repository and the MariaDB repository resolve their codename from `lsb_release -sc`, so the base image had to move for the rest to follow.

- **MariaDB 11.4 → 11.8.** Not a preference. MariaDB 11.4 publishes no trixie repository at all — `dlm.mariadb.com/.../11.4/repo/debian/dists/trixie/Release` returns 404\. 11.8 does, and Debian 13 ships 11.8.6 natively.
- **`ntp` is gone.** Replaced with `ntpsec`.
- **`software-properties-common` is gone.** No replacement needed.
- **`libhashkit2` was renamed** to `libhashkit2t64` by Debian's 64-bit `time_t` transition. The old name has no install candidate on trixie.

A bare Debian 13 image also ships without `curl`, `wget`, `gnupg` or a CA certificate bundle. The Dockerfile installs those first, before it touches any third-party repository key — otherwise the repository TLS cannot be verified and every `apt update` afterwards fails.

#### The database is still pre-populated

**The database is pre-populated with a user, a Mautic database and the Mautic DB schema, so you don’t have to go through Mautic’s installation wizard.** That was the whole point of the KISS approach and it has not changed.

Note that Mautic 7.2.2 ships 119 database migrations, up from 65 in 6.0.2\. That is a substantial schema jump, and it is why the 7.2.2 image ships its own dump rather than reusing the 6.0.2 one.  

#### 2 ways to use it:  
  
a) Deploy from DockerHub (recommended)

`docker run -d --name KISSmauticDKR-722 -p 8080:80 martechws/mautic:7.2.2`

Takes a few seconds to launch, then go to [**http://localhost:8080**](http://localhost:8080/?ref=mauteam.org) and log in.

##### b) Clone from repo and build locally

Or download the components and build the image yourself, which also let's you modify it.

`git clone https://github.com/Martech-WorkShop/KISSMauticDKR`

`docker build -f 7.2.2.Dockerfile . -t KISSmauticDKR:7.2.2`

`docker run -d --name KISSmauticDKR-722 -p 8080:80 KISSmauticDKR:7.2.2`

Then open [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080/?ref=mauteam.org), and to get a shell inside:

`docker exec -ti KISSmauticDKR-722 bash`

#### Your default credentials

MAUTIC\_DB\_NAME=mautic\_db  
MAUTIC\_DB\_USER=mautic\_user  
MAUTIC\_DB\_PASSWORD= define it with `-e` at runtime  
**MAUTIC\_LOGIN=** 
**MAUTIC\_LOGIN\_PWD=**

The Mautic login and password are set at build time and are not yet parametrized at runtime. If you want a different database name, user or password, pass them when you start the container:

`docker run -d -e MAUTIC_DB_PASSWORD=my-mautic-password --name KISSmauticDKR-722 -p 8080:80 martechws/mautic:7.2.2`

#### Why one container?

The official Mautic images are excellent for complex deployments and separate concerns properly, which is exactly what you want for Kubernetes. But for a developer or a geeky marketer who wants to give Mautic a quick spin, they are serious overkill: you first have to understand how the images operate, then prepare the infrastructure, before you see a login screen.

KISSmauticDKR deliberately breaks the one-service-per-container rule. That means the Dockerfile is more complex than it would otherwise be, and the image is heavier than it needs to be, and there are a great many comments in it. All of that is on purpose. Here, KISS means simple and easy for *the person deploying it*.

The Dockerfile and helper script are heavily commented so you can read what is happening and change it if you feel like it. This repository hosts them:

#### Container or installer?

This container assumes certain infrastructure is available, like a proxy server with SSL termination and a docker capable host (for example with Kubernetes).  
  
When you want the simplest possible way to run Mautic, there's an automated script that does not require docker or a proxy: [AutoMautic](https://mauteam.org/install-mautic-7-2-2-with-zero-linux-knowledge-required-automautic/).  
It installs Mautic 7.2.2 on a fresh Debian 13 VPS in about four minutes and obtains an SSL certificate with Certbot.

## Intended uses

- A simple way to test Mautic, pull & play.
- A live overview of Mautic 7.2.2’s requirements.
- A starting point for Mautic code exploration and tinkering.
- A way to play with Dockerization, Dockerfiles and image creation.

**It is NOT meant as a production-ready image.**
