Overview

This is an Apache2.4-based staging web server using docker compose that is similar to the CSE target environment to use for local offline PHP7 development.

The main features are:

• Making the logs available external to the container to aid debugging (and dialing up the log level)
• Making the apache config available outside of the container to tweak and experiment.
• Mounting a local directory as /home/someuser/public_html to simulate the target environment.
• Using suexec and binfmt for PHP cgi scripts.

To Use

1. Fill in the build arguments in docker-compose.yml
   • TARGET_USER= the user name of someuser on the target system (CSE).
   • TARGET_GROUP= the group name with the someuser account on the target system (CSE).
   • HOST_UID= the local uid of your local account
   • HOST_GID= the local gid of your local account
2. Place a copy of your website in home/someuser/public_html in the source tree.
3. Build and run the container

docker-compose build
docker-compose up

4. The website should appear at localhost:8080
