DockerPHP

A wamp/mamp/xampp alternative... With Docker

The provided instructions guide you on how to use DockerPHP, a Docker-based alternative to WAMP/MAMP/XAMPP for PHP development. Here's a breakdown of the steps:

How Use This ? 😄

Before you begin, make sure you have Docker installed and running on your machine.

1. Clone the DockerPHP repository:

   git clone https://github.com/hophuoctrung/DockerPHP.git

2. Navigate to the cloned repository:

   cd DockerPHP

3. Start the Docker containers using Docker Compose:

   docker-compose up -d

4. Open your browser and access the following URLs:

   • http://127.0.0.1: This is the homepage of your DockerPHP application.
   • http://localhost:8080: This is the URL for accessing PHPMyAdmin, a web-based database management tool.

5. Start coding your PHP application:

   • Modify your code in the ./app folder, which serves as the workspace for your project.
   • Customize the index.php file located in ./app/webroot/index.php.

Remember to have fun and enjoy coding with DockerPHP! 😊

Additional notes:

• The images are currently set to 'latest' because I'm lazy to update them frequently 😄😄😄. Please change them to specific versions that align with your project requirements.
• The workspace for your project is located in the ./app folder, where your code will be stored.
• The ./app/webroot folder contains static resources that will be accessible to the public.

•   MYSQL_ROOT_USER: "root"
    MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "hophuoctrung"
    MYSQL_USER: "trungHo"
    MYSQL_PASSWORD: "trungHo"
    MYSQL_DATABASE: "docker_php"

  The provided database information includes the root user, root password, database name, and other details. You can modify these settings in the docker-compose.yml file. If you change MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD, remember to update the phpmyadmin service in docker-compose.yml.
• When connecting to the database, use mysql as the hostname. For example, in PHP, you can connect to the database using PDO as shown in the code snippet provided.

  $pdo = new PDO(
      'mysql:dbname=docker_php;host=mysql',
      'trungHo',
      'trungHo',
      [PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION]
  );

• For CakePHP, please replace nginx.conf with cakephp.nginx.conf as attached. For other frameworks, please update Nginx according to their instructions.
• You may need to grant permissions to bin/bake in the PHP container to use the Bake tool directly. Use the command chmod +x bin/cake to grant execute permissions to bin/cake.

     chmod +x bin/cake

• Additionally, you can also use PHP Composer within the PHP container.

I use it for developing both plain PHP code and CakePHP applications. However, it is advisable to exercise caution when deploying it in a production environment. Please feel free to contribute if you have any ideas or suggestions. HappyCoding! 😄 TrungHo
