Use

The script phpdock is intended to facilitate the use of the scripts php and php-server (See bin directory) Availables scripts commands:

• Set a global php version (shell restart is needed)
• Set a local php version (shell restart isn't needed)
• Install docker php images (and php with apache!!)
• List installed versions
• List availables versions on docker repositories

Manage availables repositories:

• List repositories
• Add repository
• Delete repository

The availables repositories is stored in a file in etc directory

Repositories file use complete docker repositories name.

Don't delete the repositories file!

Add repositories

All the repositories added, need docker images with a specific tag format.

Tag format:

All the tags need one of the following words:

• cli: To php images (used by php script)
• apache: To php with apache images (user by php-server script)

The format is taken from the php oficial repository (see oficial php repository)

Add a repository

  $ phpdock repositories --add <COMPLETE_REPOSITORY_NAME>

Eg: Add the oficial php repository (added by default)

  $ phpdock repositories --add php

Environment variables

Variable	Description
PHP_CLI_DOCKER_IMAGE	Specify a docker image to php script
PHP_SERVER_DOCKER_IMAGE	Specify a docker image to php-server script

Install php version

Manual

Add a new php version:

1. Firts, search the complete docker image name (repository+tag)

   Show all availables docker images in known repositories:

    phpdock install --list
    # docker image's list

2. Once identified the docker image, send it as argument to phpdock install Eg, we need the php 7.2.0 from oficial repository

    phpdock install php:7.2.0-cli

Using .php-version file

If you know the php version needed for the project, you can create a file named .php-version and put the version (only the number).

This make easiest to export the project.

Once created the file, run the follow:

 phpdock install

This show you a selectable menu with all docker images that match the version specified
