Dokku App for PHP7 & NGINX

What is this?

So, you're running a bunch of dokku apps on a server, and have to deal with a legacy application with no source control, and need it to be up right now?

Fear not!

This repository is just the barebones of a PHP7 & Nginx setup, and it looks for a /storage mounted drive. It then serves from that directory. Any changes made in there will be reflected on your container.

But this is not what Dokku is for!!!!

I know. I hate it too. But sometimes, when moving fast, having this kind of solution works okay. Just don't forget to bring your project into a real dev workflow, okay?

How to use it

Quite simple :)

On your dokku instance:

• Create a new app: dokku apps:create my-new-app
• Create a directory that will contain your code: mkdir /home/dokku/my-new-app/public_html
• Link that directory to the /storage directory on your container: dokku storage:mount my-new-app /home/dokku/my-new-app/public_html:/storage
• Add in your files to /home/dokku/my-new-app/public_html (or, simply echo "<?php echo 'Hello from PHP';" > /home/dokku/my-new-app/public_html/index.php)
• Build the app from this repo's tarball: dokku tar:from my-new-app https://github.com/alexleclair/Dokku-PHP7NginxContainer/archive/master.tar.gz

And voilà!
