Implementation of Joomla in Cloud Foundry #cf #service #loggregator

Hello partners.
Thank you very much for your answers and the contribution to the concern. But then, we can say that it is better not to implement the theme of Jommla in CF, according to what I see it is that it is very complex and does not have support anymore. |

I managed to get it mostly working on a recent CF with the latest PHP buildpack, but to echo Paul's comments, Joomla is not very cloud native. It relies heavily on configuration files which makes processing VCAP_SERVICES a hassle, and relocating the persistent data directories is a bit of a hassle. Good luck! TT |

I used to run Joomla on Stackato. It worked great, but we needed to do a bit of hackery to set up the configuration files properly and we needed to use a persistent filesystem service. This is the old sample app repo:
https://github.com/Stackato-Apps/joomla-cms It's a pretty old version of Joomla, and it would not work on a modern CF without some modification (e.g. the manifest is invalid). Unless Joomla has changed how it handles storage, your CF will need a Volume Service for persisting files across instances and restarts as mentioned above. TT |

I personally have never heard of anyone running Joomla on a CF platform. That definitely doesn't mean it hasn't been done or is not possible though. Unlike
Wordpress I don't think it stores content on the filesystem so I guess the question is how "cloud-native" is it. Would you, for example, be able to "cf scale -i" it once pushed? If it won't support that, would it work running it at scale 1?
If you have pre-existing assets that just happen to have been created using Joomla then another option would be to re-create these assets using the Spring framework and I specifically draw your attention to Spring Boot, Spring Data and the community project
Spring Content that allows you to build cloud-native CMS against the backend of your choice. These would be 100% cloud-native and operate very nicely in CF. The downside of this approach is that it is much more developer-oriented and, in general, the work
to recreate the site would be a little bit of Spring/Java, quite a lot of UI. As I say probably only appropriate if you are looking to be pre-existing assets forward. Not appropriate if you are looking to hand Joomla accounts out to end users to create their
own sites.
Just my $10

I am a current user of SAP and I am very interested in starting with the use of SAP CLOUD PLATFORM, but I need to know if there is currently an add-on in Cloud Foundry for Joomla or I can migrate Joomla to this platform.
If possible, you can tell me how I can do it.
Thank you very much and I'm still pending.

Cloud Foundry has a PHP buildpack which can be used to run pretty much any PHP application. I've not personally used it to run Joomla, but it can run Wordpress and Drupal so I think that Joomla should be possible too. As for how, I would suggest that you start by trying to just `cf push` Joomla and see what happens. You can get pretty far that way. Then just work through any errors you hit, like you might need to enable some PHP extensions or tie in a database. Also, check out the Wordpress example here. Using Joomla should be pretty similar.
