Introduction

This docker configuration will create a vagrant vm with 3 containers to kickstart your LAMP development.

• db - mysql version 5.7
• php - php 5.6 + apache
• phpmyadmin

vagrant script from https://github.com/blinkreaction/boot2docker-vagrant - thankyou.

Why do we need vagrant? Because for mac and windows users, its much faster to use nfs or samba for file sharing. For linux users, you dont need this workaround.

Installation

Install the pre-requisites as documented in https://github.com/blinkreaction/boot2docker-vagrant

# remember to add this line to ~/.bash_profile. 
# This will allow us to run docker commands on host machine mapped to the vagrant vm.
DOCKER_HOST="tcp://192.168.10.10:2375"
source ~/.bash_profile

Next,

# clone this repo
git clone https://github.com/bernardpeh/docker-lamp
cd docker-lamp
vagrant up
cd myproject
docker-compose up -d

To test that everything is working correctly, go to these urls. They should work

http://192.168.10.10:8080 (your website on port 80)
https://192.168.10.10:8081 (your website on port 443)
http://192.168.10.10:8082 (phpmyadmin)

Customisation

• edit docker-compose.yml and Dockerfile in individual folders. They should be easily understood.
• To run sql post-mysql container bootup, overwrite mysql/db.sql

Tips

• To see the logs

docker logs -f container_id

• To go to the shell of each container

docker exec -it container_id bash

• To see all the docker compose process

docker-compose ps
