Rinvex Punnet

Rinvex Punnet is opinionated, lightweight, yet powerful, and performant light speed docker environment for PHP applications.

It's a full PHP development environment based on Docker.

This environment includes pre-packaged Docker images, all pre-configured to provide a wonderful PHP development environment, with flexibility, and performance in mind.

Features

• Easy switch between PHP versions: 7.4, 7.3, 7.2, 7.1...
• Choose your favorite database engine: MySQL
• Every software runs on a separate container: PHP-FPM, NGINX, PHP-CLI...
• Easy to customize any container, with simple edit to the Dockerfile.
• All Images extends from an official base Image. (Trusted base Images).
• Pre-configured NGINX to host any code at your root directory.
• Can use Rinvex Punnet per project, or single Rinvex Punnet instance for all projects.
• Easy to install/remove software in Containers using environment variables.
• Clean and well structured Dockerfiles (Dockerfile).
• Latest version of the Docker Compose file (docker-compose).
• Everything is visible and editable.
• Fast Images Builds.
• More to come!

Getting Started

Requirements

• Git
• Docker >= 18.00.0

Installation

Follow these steps if you want a one docker environment for multiple projects.

Let's see how easy it is to install NGINX, PHP, Composer, MySQL, and Redis, all at once:

1. Install Rinvex Punnet outside the project directory:

   Clone this repository anywhere on your machine:

   git clone https://github.com/rinvex/punnet.git

   Your folder structure should look like this:

   + punnet
   + project-a
   + project-b
   

2. Prepare your docker environment config:

   cp .env.example .env
   

   At the top of your docker .env file, change the WEB_DATA_PATH variable to your project path:

   WEB_DATA_PATH=../project-a/
   

   Make sure to replace project-a with your project folder name.

   You can edit the docker environment config .env file to choose which software you want to be installed in your environment. You can always refer to the docker-compose.yml file to see how those variables have been used.

   Depending on the host's operating system you may need to change the value given to COMPOSE_FILE. When you are running Rinvex Punnet on Mac OS the correct file separator to use is :. When running Punnet from a Windows environment multiple files must be separated with ;.

3. Build and run your containers:

   docker-compose up -d redis mysql portainer workspace php-fpm nginx 

   Note: All the web server containers nginx depends on php-fpm, which means if you run any of them, they will automatically launch the php-fpm container for you, so no need to explicitly specify it in the up command. If you have to do so, you may need to run them as follows: docker-compose up -d nginx php-fpm mysql.

   (Please note that sometimes we forget to update the docs, so check the docker-compose.yml file to see an updated list of all available containers).

4. Configure your PHP project to use mysql and redis service containers.

   Open your PHP project's .env file or whichever configuration file you are reading from, and set the database host DB_HOST to mysql, and REDIS_HOST to redis:

   DB_HOST=mysql
   REDIS_HOST=redis

5. Go to your hosts file /etc/hosts and add your local domains:

   127.0.0.1  cortex.rinvex.test
   127.0.0.1  custom-project.test

   If you use Chrome 63 or above for development, don't use .dev. Why?. Instead use .localhost, .invalid, .test, or .example.

6. Go to /PATH/TO/PUNNET/.config/nginx/sites/ and create config files to point to different project directory when visiting different domains.

   Rinvex Punnet by default includes app.conf.example, laravel.conf.example as working samples. NGINX local domain config could be like the following example:

   server {
   
       listen 80;
       listen [::]:80;
   
       server_name .cortex.rinvex.test;
       root /var/www/rinvex/cortex/public;
       index index.php index.html index.htm;
   
       location / {
            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
       }
   
       location ~ \.php$ {
           try_files $uri /index.php =404;
           fastcgi_pass php-upstream;
           fastcgi_index index.php;
           fastcgi_buffering off;
           fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
           #fixes timeouts
           fastcgi_read_timeout 600;
           include fastcgi_params;
       }
   
       location ~ /\.ht {
           deny all;
       }
   
       error_log /var/log/nginx/rinvex/cortex/error.log;
       access_log /var/log/nginx/rinvex/cortex/access.log;
   }

   You can rename the config files, project folders and local domains as you like, just make sure the root in the config files, is pointing to the correct project folder name.

7. To enter the Workspace container, and execute commands like (Artisan, Composer, PHPUnit, ...)

   docker-compose exec workspace /bin/bash

   Some helpful commands:

   docker-compose logs CONTAINER_NAME

8. Now you can browse your local sites in your browser, like: http://cortex.rinvex.test.

Supported Software (Images)

In adhering to the separation of concerns principle as promoted by Docker, Punnet runs each software on its own Container. You can turn On/Off as many instances of as any container without worrying about the configurations, everything works like a charm.

• Database Engines: MySQL
• Cache Engines: Redis
• PHP Servers: NGINX
• PHP Compilers: PHP FPM
• Random Tools: Portainer

Punnet introduces the Workspace Image, as a development environment. It contains a rich set of helpful tools, all pre-configured to work and integrate with almost any combination of Containers and tools you may choose.

Workspace Image Tools PHP CLI - Composer - Git - Node - SQLite - xDebug - Envoy - Deployer, Laravel installer, PHP codesniffer, PHP CS Fixer, and many more...

You can choose, which tools to install in your workspace container and other containers, from the .env file.

If you modify docker-compose.yml, .env or any dockerfile file, you must re-build your containers, to see those effects in the running instance.

If you can't find your Software in the list, build it yourself and submit it. Contributions are welcomed :)

What is Docker?

Docker is an open platform for developing, shipping, and running applications. Docker enables you to separate your applications from your infrastructure so you can deliver software quickly. With Docker, you can manage your infrastructure in the same ways you manage your applications. By taking advantage of Docker’s methodologies for shipping, testing, and deploying code quickly, you can significantly reduce the delay between writing code and running it in production.

Why Docker not Vagrant!?

Vagrant creates Virtual Machines in minutes while Docker creates Virtual Containers in seconds.

Instead of providing a full Virtual Machines, like you get with Vagrant, Docker provides you lightweight Virtual Containers, that share the same kernel and allow to safely execute independent processes.

In addition to the speed, Docker gives tons of features that cannot be achieved with Vagrant.

Most importantly Docker can run on Development and on Production (same environment everywhere). While Vagrant is designed for Development only, (so you have to re-provision your server on Production every time).
