How to use

Of course, you need Docker installed!

docker-compose up -d

As an example, setup_phpBB3.sh downloads and sets up phpBB3 😊

Some notes:

• URLS:

  • Apache container at http://localhost:8080
  • phpMyAdmin (for DB administration) at http://localhost:8181

• The hostname of the mysql server is db, and the username/password can be changed in the .env file.

  • default credentials: dbuser:dbpass (database name: db)
  • root credentials: root:rootpassword

• the PHP for your project can be thrown in public/. To change, update the last line in .env!

• If (for some reason) you need to get a terminal into any of the containers, just run

docker-compose exec <container_name> sh

Container names are db, apache, php, and phpmyadmin. You can also run

source .env; 
# to login as the user:
docker-compose exec db mysql -u $DB_USERNAME -p$DB_PASSWORD;

# to login as root: 
docker-compose exec db mysql -u root -p$DB_ROOT_PASSWORD;

to use the MYSQL CLI as root.

• If you are going to use Cloudflare's Argos Tunnel ($5/month) to securely expose just the Apache container (without exposing phpmyadmin or MySQL) you need to follow these steps: 0. Make sure you have cloudflared installed in your host OS.

  1. Run cloudflared login in your host OS
  2. Uncomment the lines at the bottom of apache/supervisord.conf
  3. Uncomment the lines at the bottom of apache/Dockerfile
  4. Set the path of your host machine's cert.pem in apache/Dockerfile (usually ~/.cloudflared/cert.pem)
  5. Edit the hostname in apache/config.yaml to be the active Argos Tunnel zone.
  6. Rebuild the apache container by doing docker-compose up -d --build

• If you're using on a server (like I was), the dozzle configuration (for viewing logs) can be viewed on port 9999 (if uncommented from docker-compose.yml). Otherwise, just use Docker Desktop.
