WIP Vagrant and/or Docker support

[natanfelles]

Direction

Maybe a Vagrantfile or a Dockerfile, or both, in the development repo be a good idea.

Describe the bug

Difficulty to do local tests before to push online.

@bvrignaud @deathart @kenjis - I see that you use it, guys. I'm a newbie.

You can always use virtualbox, & install a suitable flavor of linux in it.
Using vagrant, they have a centos/7 box that I have had my students play with.
Or ... you could take a leap of faith & upgrade from Windows or OSX :D

bitnami also has a VM image for LAMPP ... https://bitnami.com/stack/lamp/virtual-machine

It could make more sense to do these as separate repos inside codeigniter4 organization. A vagrantbox could be several GB big; not sure of the size of a docker container.

@natanfelles I am using the laravel/homestead

It work with codeigniter too

OK @jim-parry . But I refer to just the Vagrantfile. It with all requirements for CodeIgniter 4 run.

Faith? I use Debian 🔥 :)

@Paradinight , thanks. I will have a try.

[natanfelles]

git clone git@github.com:bcit-ci/CodeIgniter4.git
cd CodeIgniter4
vagrant up

As I understand it is something like this.

[natanfelles]

@jim-parry your students could help with it.

This is

@bvrignaud @deathart @kenjis - I see that you use it, guys. I'm a newbie.
Yes. I use docker for most of my developements.
Do you want my docker and docker-compose files ?

[natanfelles]

If CI Team accept to add it, and you want to share, or create the files according with CodeIgniter requirements, yes! 😃

With all php extensions, mysql, postgres, redis, etc, ready to run in a CodeIgniter test environment.

[bvrignaud]

This my usually my development docker files.
docker.zip
You just have to run : docker-compose up
And add dev.ci4 to your \etc\hosts

[deathart]

Look at my repository I added docker (php configure and nginx)

I am already planning an expanded "installation" page or pages in the user guide. Would it make sense to start by describing the different ways to install/run CI4 there, and then to add config files as appropriate?
