PHP-Stack Docker Environment

This repository provides a PHP development environment with support for multiple PHP versions, along with various services useful for web development, all configured to run in Docker containers.

Included Versions and Tools:

• PHP 5.6: With pecl certificate fix (24-02-01)
• PHP 7.2
• Composer: PHP dependency manager.
• Xdebug: PHP debugging tool.
• Redis: Data caching store.
• MySQL 5.6: Relational database.

Prerequisites:

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Running the Environment

1. Clone the php-stack repository to your projects folder:

   git clone git@github.com:MukaNunes/php-stack.git ~/my-projects/php-stack

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd ~/my-projects/php-stack

3. Start the containers with Docker Compose:

   docker-compose up -d --build

   This command will build and start the containers in the background.

Local DNS Configuration for Multi-PHP Versions

To make it easier to access different PHP containers (5.6 and 7.2), you can add custom entries to your /etc/hosts file. This will allow you to access these PHP versions through URLs like php5.local and php7.local in your browser.

Add the following line to your /etc/hosts file:

echo "127.0.0.1 php5.local php7.local" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts

Available Services

• localhost: Nginx Web Server to serve PHP files.
• 172.8.0.15:33063: MySQL 5.6 - Accessible via port 33063.
• 172.8.0.16:6379: Redis - Accessible via port 6379.

Accessing PHP Containers

With the environment configured and the containers running, you can access the different PHP versions via the URLs configured in the /etc/hosts file:

• http://php5.local for PHP 5.6
• http://php7.local for PHP 7.2

If you need to connect directly to a specific PHP container (e.g., to run Composer commands or access the container shell), use the following commands:

• For the PHP 5.6 container:

docker exec -it php5-container-name bash

• For the PHP 7.2 container:

docker exec -it php7-container-name bash

Stopping and Cleaning Up the Environment

To stop the containers, you can run:

docker-compose down
