Magento 2 Docker Apache

This is just a personal docker-compose setup that I put together after frustrations trying to set up Magento on Windows and only seeing Nginx Docker configs for Magento instead of Apache + PHPFPM.

This isn't intended to be a comprehensive guide for setting up a Magento 2 Apache Docker environment, but some people might find it helpful or have suggestions for improvement.

Most of the helper bin commands are from Mark Shust's Docker Magento project, with some tweaks.

Setup (Existing Projects)

0. Set your .env file, see .env.example for reference.
1. Import your db either using the cli helpers or using phpmyadmin
2. Run bin/copytocontainer --all
3. Run commands bin/magento setup:di:compile upgrade cache:clean cache:flush
4. Clear content directories rm -rf var/cache/* var/di/* generated/* var/page_cache/* var/view_preprocessed/* pub/static/frontend/*
   • Reference: https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.3/howdoi/php/php_clear-dirs.html
5. bin/magento deploy:mode:set developer
6. Deploy static contents if page is blank: bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
   • Run bin/magento config:set dev/static/sign 0 since static-content:deploy sets this value to 1
   • Reset to developer mode

Misc. Config

PHP-FPM - Session Files Path

Reference: https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.3/config-guide/sessions.html

env.php

    'session' => [
        'save' => 'files',
        'save_path' => '/var/www/html/var/session'
    ],

php.ini

session.save_handler = files
session.save_path = "/var/www/html/var/session"

Misc. Helpful Commands

Import Existing DB

bin/clinotty mysql -hdb -u{magento_user} -p{magento_db_pw} {magento_db_name} < existing/magento.sql

Errors

Exception: Warning: SessionHandler::read(): open(/var/www/html/var/session/sess_..., O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13) in`

Causes:

• Incorrect file permissions for session directory

Solution: Run bin/fixowns

Everything but require.js fails to load

1. rm -rf pub/static/*
2. bin/magento config:set dev/static/sign 0 (this is set to 1 if you use static-content:deploy)
3. Reset developer mode bin/magento deploy:mode:set developer

403 error for pub/static folder

Cause: Incorrect file permissions / running Magento commands that generate files as root (static-content:deploy, upgrade, etc.) instead of Magento filesystem owner (app:www-data).

Solution:

1. Run bin/fixperms
2. Run bin/magento setup:upgrade
