Docker dev stack

Docker stack environment gives you everything you need for develop PHP web applications.

• Portainer
• PHP7-FPM
• NGINX
• MySQL
• Memcache
• Redis
• RabbitMQ

Installation

1. Create a .env from the .env.dist file. Adapt it according to your needs

$ cp .env.example .env

2. Add a new nginx vhost file for your project

Before you start the containers, you have to add a vhost file to config/sites folder. If you are using Symfony framework you can find here an example of the configuration for nginx.

Note! You have to use the socket for php-fpm which is mapped in a volume on /var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock

3. Update your system host file

# project.local is the server_name set up on the vhost
$ echo project.local >> /etc/hosts

Usage

Just run docker-compose up -d and you'll have all the containers up and running.

How it works

You can find in the docker-compose file all the services of the dev stack:

• mysql: The MySQL database container
• memcache: The Memcache container
• redis: This is the Redis container
• php-fpm: This is the PHP-FPM container in which the application volume is mounted
• nginx: This is the Nginx webserver container, also in which application volume is mounted
• rabbitmq: This is the RabbitMQ container you can use to create your queues
• portainer: This is the container that will provide you a nice and useful web interface for Docker (visit http://localhost:8085)

If you want to see what containers are running you can use:

$ docker-compose ps
