Akeneo Community Edition Docker Installation (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, DigitalOcean – Customizable Build)

Job ID: 39907782

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

Description

We need an experienced DevOps / backend engineer to set up Akeneo PIM Community Edition (v7.x or newer) using Docker Compose on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

This will be our production foundation, so the setup must follow Akeneo’s official Docker best practices and support future customization — especially custom user permissions (e.g., users can only see items assigned to them).


Deliverables

Fully working Akeneo CE instance accessible via our server IP (port 8080 → Nginx 80).

Proper Docker stack with persistent volumes:

akeneo-fpm (PHP 8.1+)

nginx (latest)

mysql 8.0

elasticsearch 8.x (compatible version)

Working admin user login.

Clean, documented docker-compose.yml with bind mounts for future code customizations.


Short README.md explaining:

Start/stop/restart commands

Backup/restore of MySQL + Elasticsearch

How to update Akeneo to newer releases

Optional: Let’s Encrypt SSL setup once domain is pointed (we use Cloudflare).

⚙️ Environment

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS x64

DigitalOcean droplet (8 GB RAM / 4 vCPU)

Cloudflare DNS (for later subdomain)


Requirements

Proven experience deploying Akeneo CE 6–8 via Docker Compose

Strong knowledge of Elasticsearch compatibility

Understanding of Akeneo customization workflow (mounting bundles, Symfony config)

Ability to debug build and permission issues
