GitHub Workflow Status (with event) Docker Pulls Static Badge

PHP version Corresponding tag
8.2.4 tomsik68/xampp:8
7.4.33 tomsik68/xampp:7
5.6.40 tomsik68/xampp:5

For PHP 8, start your container like this:

docker run --name myXampp -p 41061:22 -p 41062:80 -d -v ~/my_web_pages:/www tomsik68/xampp:8

docker-xampp

This image is intended for PHP+MySQL development. For convenience, it also runs SSH server to connect to. Both MySQL and phpmyadmin use default XAMPP password.

Any questions?

Please read this readme before asking anything.

If you didn't find answer to your question, create an issue or just ask on Gitter. I'll try to help if I can!

Running the image

This image uses /www directory for your page files, so you need to mount it.

docker run --name myXampp -p 41061:22 -p 41062:80 -d -v ~/my_web_pages:/www tomsik68/xampp

The command above will expose the SSH server on port 41061 and HTTP server on port 41062. Feel free to use your own name for the container.

To browse to your web page, visit this URL: http://localhost:41062/www And to open up the XAMPP interface: http://localhost:41062/

Default credentials

service username password
ssh root root

Additional How-tos

My app can't function in /www folder

No problem, just mount your app in the /opt/lampp/htdocs folder, for example:

docker run --name myXampp -p 41061:22 -p 41062:80 -d -v ~/my_web_pages:/opt/lampp/htdocs tomsik68/xampp

ssh connection

default SSH password is 'root'.

ssh root@localhost -p 41061

get a shell terminal inside your container

docker exec -ti myXampp bash

use binaries provided by XAMPP

Inside docker container:

export PATH=/opt/lampp/bin:$PATH

You can then use mysql and friends installed in /opt/lampp/bin in your current bash session. If you want this to persist, you need to add it to your user or system-wide .bashrc (inside container).

Use your own configuration

In your home directory, create a my_apache_conf directory in which you place any number of apache configuration files. As soon as they end with the .conf extension, they will be used by xampp. Make sure to use the following flag in your command: -v ~/my_apache_conf:/opt/lampp/apache2/conf.d, for example:

docker run --name myXampp -p 41061:22 -p 41062:80 -d -v ~/my_web_pages:/www  -v ~/my_apache_conf:/opt/lampp/apache2/conf.d tomsik68/xampp

Restart the server

Once you have modified configuration for example

docker exec myXampp /opt/lampp/lampp restart

phpmyadmin

If you used the flag -p 41062:80 with docker run, just browse to http://localhost:41062/phpmyadmin/ .

Docker compose example

version: '3.8'

services:
  xampp:
    image: tomsik68/xampp
    ports:
      - "44162:22"
      - "41063:80"
    volumes:
      # Mount your web pages
      - ./xampp/my_pages:/www
      # Mount your apache configuration
      - ./xampp/my_apache_conf/:/opt/lampp/apache2/conf.d
      #Save MySQL data to be persistent
      # add the dbs as needed
      - ./xampp/mysql/mydb:/opt/lampp/var/mysql/mydb
    restart: always

Use a Different XAMPP or PHP Version

Currently, the Docker image is built only for PHP 5, 7 and 8. If you need another version, you can easily build a Docker image yourself, here's how:

  1. Clone this repo (local clone is sufficient, no need to fork)
  2. Find the URL to a URL to your desired version. List of versions can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Linux/
  3. Build the image using e.g. docker build --build-arg XAMPP_URL="https://www.apachefriends.org/xampp-files/5.6.40/xampp-linux-x64-5.6.40-1-installer.run?from_af=true" .
