Deploy Joomla and OpenSSH Docker containers effortlessly…
Cross-Platform
Bash-based utility
Interactive and CLI-driven
Automation-ready
Self-Updating
Environment-managed
With this script, you can effortlessly deploy Dockerized Joomla and OpenSSH environments across multiple operating systems. Combined with automated configuration management and flexible CLI control, Octojoom provides a powerful and secure foundation for shared development workflows.
Octojoom provides command-line input options similar to those shown in the menus below, but these are not the only way to configure your environment. If required values are not supplied through command arguments, the script will automatically prompt you in the terminal to enter the necessary information at the appropriate time.
Environment variables play a central role throughout the system. Octojoom works with multiple .env files and will create and manage them for you as needed. Whenever a task depends on specific environment values, the script checks whether they already exist. If a value is missing, you will be prompted to provide it, and it will be stored automatically for future use. The terminal output will also indicate where the relevant .env file is located, giving you full visibility into how your configuration is structured and maintained.
Install dependencies manually for your distribution:
# Fedora / CentOS / RHEL
sudo dnf install -y bash curl newt
# Arch / Manjaro
sudo pacman -S --needed bash curl newt
# openSUSE
sudo zypper install -y bash curl newt
# Install Octojoom
sudo curl -L "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/octoleo/octojoom/refs/heads/master/src/octojoom" -o /usr/local/bin/octojoom
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/octojoom
# Works across most Linux distributions — if Bash, Curl, and Docker are installed, Octojoom will run seamlessly.

Usage
Overcome Any Obstacle
OctoJoom provides a very stable solution for Joomla! users to continue seamless Docker deployments for local development as well as production.
We took automation to the next level. While freedom of choice remains yours, we took the guesswork upon ourselves.
OctoJoom was developed with agility in mind to provide a solution that will continue to be supported well into the future. Most projects conceived by OctoLeo are born out of need within our own software infrastructure—where the need for automation and integration arise. As our projects fulfill our own personal objectives, we need to continue development, support, and maintenance for the projects to provide continued improvement of our own infrastructure.
