Local Web Server Docker Compose

This repository provides a Docker Compose setup for a local web server with:

• Caddy web server: Secure and automatic HTTPS configuration.
• PHP: Popular language for dynamic websites.
• MariaDB: Robust and widely used database engine.
• phpMyAdmin: Web-based interface for managing MariaDB databases.
• FTP access: Easy file transfer capabilities.

Prerequisites:

• Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system.

Getting started:

1. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/aera128/caddy-local-web-server-docker-compose.git
2. Replace the following placeholders in docker-compose.yml:
   • changeme with strong passwords for MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD, PMA_PASSWORD, and FTP_PASS. (use the same password for MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD and PMA_PASSWORD)
   • Update file paths for custom configurations (optional):
     • ./Caddyfile
     • ./www (web root)
     • ./php_config/php.ini
     • ./db_data
     • ./ftp_data
3. Start the application: docker-compose up -d

Accessing your application:

• Web interface: https://localhost (automatically serves your files from ./www)
• phpMyAdmin: http://localhost:8123 (use the passwords you set)
• FTP access:
  • Use any FTP client (e.g., FileZilla, Cyberduck)
  • Connect to localhost on port 21 or 40000 - 40009 (passive mode)
