php80-alpine

Why Alpine?

Using Alpine results in a much smaller Docker image!

Quick start

• To build: docker build .
• To build and tag: docker build -t tagname .
• To run and get interactive terminal: docker run -it tagname sh

What is this?

This is a custom build based on PHP 8.0's alpine docker image, with changes to make Laravel back-end testing easily possible.

Where can I find it?

You can find the image on Docker Hub here: https://hub.docker.com/r/nicoverbruggen/php80-alpine.

GitLab CI

For example, if you are running GitLab, you can use .gitlab-ci on your custom GitLab instance:

image: nicoverbruggen/php80-alpine:latest

cache:
  paths:
  - vendor/
  - node_modules/

tests:
  script:
  - curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
  - php composer.phar install
  - npm install
  - npm run dev
  - vendor/bin/phpunit -v --configuration phpunit.ci.xml --coverage-text --colors=never
  after_script:
  - cat storage/logs/laravel.log 2>/dev/null

This will allow automatic tests of your application to occur.

A few notes:

• Front-end testing w/ Laravel Dusk is not supported in this version.
• This container ships with npm (NOT yarn!).

How can I build this myself?

Building on Arch Linux

Make sure that docker is installed:

sudo pacman -Syy
sudo pacman -S docker

Make sure the docker service is running:

systemctl start docker.service

Make the build:

sudo docker build -t nicoverbruggen/php80-alpine .

Test the build:

sudo docker run -it nicoverbruggen/php80-alpine sh

Make sure you're signed in to Docker Hub:

sudo docker login

Push the build:

sudo docker push nicoverbruggen/php80-alpine

Building on Apple Silicon for amd64/x86

This is quite slow since emulation is used.

To build for x86 specifically on Apple Silicon:

docker buildx build . --platform linux/amd64 -t nicoverbruggen/php80-alpine

Building for your current architecture

Use the Dockerfile, customize it as desired and build it!

docker build -t nicoverbruggen/php80-alpine . && docker push nicoverbruggen/php80-alpine

You could then push that to Docker Hub if you need x86 support. (You can also use --push with buildx!)

If you want to tag the current version (let's say... 1.0) based on the latest version you just pushed:

docker image tag nicoverbruggen/php80-alpine:latest nicoverbruggen/php80:1.0
docker push nicoverbruggen/php80-alpine:1.0

Anyone can run it afterwards:

docker run nicoverbruggen/php80-alpine

You can also attach to the container with shell:

docker run -it nicoverbruggen/php80-alpine sh
