Docker Mongo and PHP

Starter kit for projects with MongoDB, PHP and Redis.

Navigation

• Introduction
• Quickstart

Introduction

Containers

This starter kit includes the following containers and configurations for them:

• PHP (8.2.4 fpm)
• Redis (alpine)
• MongoDB (6.0.5)
• Supervisor (based on PHP container)
• Nginx like web-server

Docker resources

Provide the following resources for Docker to work correctly:

• RAM: 2G and more
• CPU: 2 cores and more
• Storage: 6G and more
• Swap: 512M and more

Environments

All default environment variables are located by paths:

• docker/environments/.env.example - for build containers
• docker/environments/.env.app.example - for your applications

Make helpers

For simple project management, we recommend using the commands from the Makefile. For show all make commands write in your terminal:

make help

OR

make

For open container terminal write in your terminal:

# php container
make php

# supervisor container
make supervisor

# MongoDB container
make mongo

Stop all containers:

make stop

Start all containers:

make start

Restart all containers:

make restart

Rebuild all containers:

make reload

Quickstart

To initialize Docker containers and install composer and npm packages, write in your terminal:

make env

Write actual values to environment variables

make init

OR

cp docker/environments/.env.example .env
cp docker/environments/.env.app.example .env.app

Write actual values to environment variables

docker network create \
    -o com.docker.network.bridge.name=$(PROJECT_NAME) \
    --driver=bridge \
    app-network

docker-compose build --no-cache
docker-compose up -d
docker exec -it "$(PROJECT_NAME)-php" composer install
docker exec -it "$(PROJECT_NAME)-php" npm install

Nice!

Follow these steps

• Initialization and first run will take 5 minutes or more, depending on the characteristics of your hardware and the resources allocated to Docker
• Write your code or install framework and then more
• It is recommended to use root or src as working directory
• The entry point will be the file public/index.php
• In the public directory, you can place all public files, such as robots.txt, sitemap.xml, etc.
• Frontend assets will be in the directory assets

Good luck!
