Post configuration

1 - Host volume

Set your host volume in docker-compose.yml in web/php container.

web:
    [...]
    volumes:
        - ~/Development:/app
    [...]

• ~/Development is my local folder where I store all my web projects.
• /app is the root folder for web/php container, don't change it.

2 - Nginx conf

Enable a default conf to serve PHP files:

$ cp nginx/conf.d/000-default.conf.dist nginx/conf.d/000-default.conf

Obviously you can add other config file to add others projects (see _example.conf.dist).

3 - PHP conf (optional)

Set your custom php.ini variables here php/php.ini.

Add a dummy phpinfo:

$ echo "<?php phpinfo() ?>" > ~/Development/index.php

4 - Restart web/php container

Since you tweak the conf, restart impacted containers:

$ docker-compose -f /path/to/docker/docker-compose.yml restart php web

5 - Update your hosts

Manually

Add an entry in /etc/hosts to point to your custom domain, ie:

192.168.99.100 my.local # for macOS
127.0.0.1 my.local # for linux

Each time you create/delete a server block, you must update your hosts file accordingly.

Automatically

You should try instead to setup a DNS server to avoid these tedious task. I use dnsmasq and it works like a charm.

6 - Finish

No more require config. Check in your browser your awesome new project: http://my.local/
