Speaker
Description
For many years, deploying Koha has relied on distribution packages and locally tailored environments. While effective, this model often leads to inconsistencies between development, testing, and production deployments across the community.
This talk presents a practical approach to running Koha in containerized environments using Docker and orchestrating services with both Docker Swarm and Kubernetes.
Rather than focusing only on architecture, the presentation will walk through a working implementation, demonstrating how Koha services can be initialized, observed, and operated reliably inside containers. The talk will highlight challenges encountered while adapting Koha’s service model, including process initialization, service coordination, and observability.
The session will include a practical demonstration of the containerized setup running under both Docker Swarm and Kubernetes, showing how these environments can support reproducible development setups and more consistent operational deployments.
Finally, the talk will explore how containerization could simplify collaboration across the Koha ecosystem and open the door to more standardized deployment workflows for libraries, hosting providers, and developers.
