LAMP Stack in Docker

PHP5 + PHP7 + Apache2 + MariaDB in Docker

This docker setup has been tested with Magento 2, WordPress and Symfony 2 -> Symfony 4

How to set up:

1. Install docker and docker compose properly
2. Clone project and cd into the that
3. Create configurations files

• .env file

echo "UID=$UID" > .env
echo "XDEBUG_MODE=debug" >> .env

• dclamp.env file (define PHP versions and services)

# Choose what PHP version you want
echo "PHP_VERSIONS='8.1 7.4'" > dclamp.env
# For more services, see compose-declaration.yml
echo "ACTIVATED_SERVICES='httpd mariadb opensearch'" > dclamp.env

4. Generate docker-compose.yml

./dclamp generate

5. Create and run container:

docker compose up -d

PHP web application:

• Write your code at public_html directory
• Browse to URL: localhost/info.php to check if it's running properly
• Your MariaDB database credentials: root:1@localhost:3306 or root:1@mariadb:3306

Default VirtualHost

• Default PHP version(s): latest PHP 8.x
• Assume your index.php is located at ./public_html/projectname/public/index.php, please browse to:
  • http://public.project.php73 to run your application with PHP 7.3,
  • http://public.project.php74 (PHP 7.4)
• Tip:
  • You can use dnsmasq instead of /etc/hosts, example:

# Redirect all sites in 4 domains (phpXX) to 127.0.0.1
address=/php71/php72/php73/php74/127.0.0.1

Custom VirtualHost

• Add your VirtualHost config files to ./httpd/conf/vhosts/
• Restart Apache container: docker restart httpd

Use PHP CLI:

• Run command

docker compose exec php73 /bin/bash

or

docker compose exec php{xx} /bin/bash

• Run you PHP application with command php ...
• To debug PHP CLI application: replace php by xdebug
  • Example: php bin/console to xdebug bin/console

Enable/Disable PHP xdebug:

• After docker compose exec... into container, run

toggle-php-mod xdebug

or shortcut

toggle-php-mod xd

Enable/Disable PHP Opcache:

• After docker compose exec... into container, run

toggle-php-mod opcache

or shortcut

toggle-php-mod op
