PHP 8 development environment

With Apache, PHP, MySQL & PhpMyAdmin

localhost	phpmyadmin
http://localhost:8002	http://localhost:8003

You need to have Docker installed on your server to proceed using this PHP environment.

Donwload Docker: https://www.docker.com/

The following four separate service containers will be used:

• php service running PHP 8. (Created from Dockerfile)

• apache service running Apache2. (Created from Dockerfile)

• db service running MySQL. (Created from Image)

• phpmyadmin service running PhpMyAdmin. (Created from Image)

Setting up

Get the project per git or donwload it from github https://github.com/prod3v3loper/docker/releases.

$ git clone https://github.com/prod3v3loper/docker.git

Set the MySQL environment variables creating a .env file with:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=db
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=database
DB_USERNAME=user
DB_PASSWORD=pass

Running the environment

When the build is finished, you can run the environment in background mode with:

docker-compose up -d

Now go to your browser and access your server’s domain name or IP address on port 8002.

In case you are running this demo on your local machine, use http://localhost:8002 to access the application from your browser.

PhpMyAdmin can access via: http://localhost:8003, is defined in docker-compose.yml

To show information about the state of your active services, run:

docker-compose ps

If the container is running but not showing up with just docker ps, extend it with the -a parameter:

docker-compose ps -a

You can use the docker-compose exec command to execute commands in the service containers, such as an ls -l to show detailed information about files in the application directory:

docker-compose exec <CONTAINER-ID> ls -l

Or go direct in the container per bash:

docker exec -it <CONTAINER-ID> bash

If you not in a bash environment, get bash in this project and run:

docker exec -it <CONTAINER-ID> /bin/bash

Start with when mysql or other not running to log the states

docker-compose up

Rebuild to recreate the images and settings

docker-compose up -d --no-deps --build

Copy files from container

docker cp <CONTAINER-ID>:/usr/local/etc/php php

To shut down your Docker Compose environment and remove all of its containers, networks, and volumes, run:

docker-compose down

Build the app image to upload in dockerhub:

docker-compose build <CONTAINER-ID>
