I have dockerized OSSN for practical reasons and i am now trying to skip the annoying config part at the begininng of the startup process.

In my docker file i use these instructions to copy the config files in place, the copy works

COPY --chown=www-data:www-data ossn.config.site.php /var/www/html/ossn/configurations/ossn.config.site.php
COPY --chown=www-data:www-data ossn.config.db.php /var/www/html/ossn/configurations/ossn.config.db.php

then when i run my docker-compose I specify the environement variables as so :

  - DB_HOST=db
  - DB_PORT=3306
  - DB_USER=ossnuser
  - DB_PASSWORD=test
  - DB_DB=ossndb

The server starts and doesn't display any errors on startup (from console) but when i try to connect to my container i have the following error message :

Fatal error: Uncaught OssnDatabaseException: Table 'ossndb.ossn_site_settings' doesn't exist 
SELECT * FROM ossn_site_settings ; 
in /var/www/html/ossn/classes/OssnDatabase.php:96 
Stack trace: #0 /var/www/html/ossn/classes/OssnDatabase.php(195): OssnDatabase->execute()

#4 /var/www/html/ossn/index.php(12): require_once('/var/www/html/o...') 
#5 {main} thrown in /var/www/html/ossn/classes/OssnDatabase.php on line 96

As I understand the problem, the tables haven't been created yet. I went onto the DB through a phpmyadmin and the db exists but is empty (no tables).

Where does the database creation process take place in a normal ossn startup sequence ?

Do you have an idea how i could trigger it from a script ?

Is there anyone who has experience dockerizing OSSN ?

(My dockerization is based on Tyranwyn's)
