# What is Plone?
[Plone](https://plone.org) is a free and open source content management system built on top of the Zope application server.
%%LOGO%%
## Features
- Images for Plone 5.x and Plone 4.x
- Enable add-ons via environment variables
- Choose between [Debian](https://www.debian.org/) or [Alpine](http://www.alpinelinux.org/) based images.
## Usage
### Start a single Plone instance
This will download and start the latest Plone 5 container, based on [Debian](https://www.debian.org/).
```console
$ docker run -p 8080:8080 %%IMAGE%%
```
This image includes `EXPOSE 8080` (the Plone port), so standard container linking will make it automatically available to the linked containers. Now you can add a Plone Site at http://localhost:8080 - default Zope user and password are `admin/admin`.
### Start Plone within a ZEO cluster
ZEO cluster are best suited for production setups, you will **need** a loadbalancer.
Start ZEO server in the background
```console
$ docker run --name=zeo %%IMAGE%% zeo
```
Start 2 Plone clients (also in the background)
```console
$ docker run --link=zeo -e ZEO_ADDRESS=zeo:8080 -p 8081:8080 %%IMAGE%%
$ docker run --link=zeo -e ZEO_ADDRESS=zeo:8080 -p 8082:8080 %%IMAGE%%
```
### Start Plone in debug mode
You can also start Plone in debug mode (`fg`) by running
```console
$ docker run -p 8080:8080 %%IMAGE%% fg
```
### Add-ons
You can enable Plone add-ons via the `ADDONS` environment variable
```console
$ docker run -p 8080:8080 -e PLONE_ADDONS="eea.facetednavigation Products.PloneFormGen" %%IMAGE%%
```
For more information on how to extend this image with your own custom settings, adding more add-ons, building it or mounting volumes, please refer to our [documentation](https://docs.plone.org/manage/docker/docs/index.html)
## Supported Environment Variables
The Plone image uses several environment variable that allow to specify a more specific setup.
### For Basic Usage
- `ADDONS` - Customize Plone via Plone add-ons using this environment variable
- `ZEO_ADDRESS` - This environment variable allows you to run Plone image as a ZEO client.
Run Plone with ZEO and install two addons (PloneFormGen and collective.roster)
```console
$ docker run --name=instance1 --link=zeo -e ZEO_ADDRESS=zeo:8080 -p 8080:8080 \
-e ADDONS="Products.PloneFormGen collective.roster" plone
```
To use specific add-ons versions:
```console
-e ADDONS="Products.PloneFormGen==1.8.5 collective.roster==2.3.1"
```
### For Advanced Usage
- `PLONE_ZCML`, `ZCML` - Include custom Plone add-ons ZCML files (former `BUILDOUT_ZCML`)
- `PLONE_DEVELOP`, `DEVELOP` - Develop new or existing Plone add-ons (former `BUILDOUT_DEVELOP`)
- `ZEO_READ_ONLY` - Run Plone as a read-only ZEO client. Defaults to `off`.
- `ZEO_CLIENT_READ_ONLY_FALLBACK` - A flag indicating whether a read-only remote storage should be acceptable as a fallback when no writable storages are available. Defaults to `false`.
- `ZEO_SHARED_BLOB_DIR` - Set this to on if the ZEO server and the instance have access to the same directory. Defaults to `off`.
- `ZEO_STORAGE` - Set the storage number of the ZEO storage. Defaults to `1`.
- `ZEO_CLIENT_CACHE_SIZE` - Set the size of the ZEO client cache. Defaults to `128MB`.
- `ZEO_PACK_KEEP_OLD` - Can be set to false to disable the creation of `*.fs.old` files before the pack is run. Defaults to true.
- `HEALTH_CHECK_TIMEOUT` - Time in seconds to wait until health check starts. Defaults to `1` second.
- `HEALTH_CHECK_INTERVAL` - Interval in seconds to check that the Zope application is still healthy. Defaults to `1` second.
