This example only works on a debian OS. It assumes you have docker installed and know how to use the command line to execute the commands.
- Clone this repository with
git clone <repo-name-url>
or download the zip file and unpack it. Cd into the directory.
- build the image
docker build -t <container-image-name> .
(Don't forget the dot at the end. It points to the current directory.)
- run the container from the image
docker run -p 8080:80 -d -v "$PWD"/data:/var/www/html <container-image-name>
You have now a container with a runing apache server listing to localhost:8080. You should no be able to see the data/index.php output in your browser. And if you change the index.php file, you should also see the changes, because of -v "$PWD"/data:/var/www/html. If you don't use "$PWD" you have to specify the absolute path.
list all docker containers including active ones
docker ps -a
enter a container by starting an interactive shell session
docker exec -it <container-name> /bin/bash
stop a container
docker stop <container-name>
delete a container
docker rm <container-name>
remove all containers and data
docker system prune
