Devilbox

Build Status Tag type License

The devilbox is a modern and highly customisable LAMP and MEAN stack replacement based purely on docker and docker-compose running on all major platforms. It supports an unlimited number of projects for which vhosts and DNS records are created automatically. Email catch-all and popular development tools will be at your service as well.

Configuration is not necessary, as everything is pre-setup with mass virtual hosting and also offers Auto-DNS.

Supported operating systems

Linux Windows OSX

It might run on FreeBSD, but I don't know the status of docker-compose there.


Usage

Quick start

You are up and running in three simple steps:

# Create docker-compose environment file
$ cp env-example .env

# Edit your configuration
$ vim .env

# Start all containers
$ docker-compose up

Selective start

The above will start all containers, you can however also just start the containers you actually need. This is achieved by simply specifying them in the docker-compose command.

$ docker-compose up httpd php mysql redis

Devilbox

Run different versions

Every single attachable container comes with many different versions. In order to select the desired version for a container, simply edit the .env file and uncomment the version of choice.

Apache Nginx PHP MySQL MariaDB PgSQL Redis Memcached MongoDB
2.2 stable 5.4 5.5 5.5 9.1 2.8 1.4.21 2.8
2.4 mainline 5.5 5.6 10.0 9.2 3.0 1.4.22 3.0
5.6 5.7 10.1 9.3 3.2 1.4.23 3.2
7.0 8.0 10.2 9.4 1.4.24 3.4
7.1 10.3 9.5 ... 3.5
7.2 9.6 1.4.36
HHVM latest

Enter the container

You can also work directly inside the php container. Simply use the bundled scripts bash.sh or root_bash.sh. The PS1 will automatically be populated with current chosen php version.

# Enter as user devilbox (normal operation / development)
host> ./bash.sh
devilbox@php-7.0.19 in /shared/httpd $
# Enter as root user (do root stuff)
host> ./root_bash.sh
root@php-7.0.19 in /shared/httpd $

Your projects can be found in /shared/httpd. DNS records are automatically available inside the php container. Also every other service will be available on 127.0.0.1 inside the php container (tricky socat port-forwarding).

Feature overview

The devilbox has everything setup for you. The only thing you will have to install is docker and docker-compose. Virtual hosts and DNS entries will be created automatically, just by adding new project folders.

Features

  • Mass virtual host
  • Custom domains (*.loc, *.local, *.dev, ...)
  • Auto-DNS (Internal Bind server running)
  • Email catch-all (Internal postfix with catch-all)
  • Log files (available on host computer)
  • Config overwrites (my.cnf, nginx.conf, httpd.conf or php.ini)
  • Self-validation (projects and configured options are validated and marked in the intranet)
  • Xdebug

Run-time Matrix

The main idea of the devilbox is to selectively run and combine any version you require for your currently desired development stack. Services are grouped into different stacks, currently into Base, SQL and NoSQL. However there are many more to come. If you find yourself in need of a stack or service that is not yet inluded, just open up an issue or pull request.

In order to make sure every combination works with each other, the devilbox integrates extensive CI tests for the Docker container itself and their combinations. The following tables show the available stacks including git repositories and travis-ci checks.

Note: Entries without links or without build-status are planned, but not yet available. See ROADMAP for tasks and upcoming features.

Intranet overview

The devilbox comes with a pre-configured intranet on http://localhost. It will not only show you, your chosen configuration, but also validate the status of your configuration, such as Do DNS records exists (on host and container), are directories properly set-up. Additionally it provides external tools to let you interact with databases and emails.

  • Virtual Host overview (validates directories and DNS)
  • Database overview (MySQL, PgSQL, Redis, Memcache, ...)
  • Email overview
  • Info pages (Httpd, MySQL, PgSQL, Redis, Memcache, ...)
  • phpMyAdmin
  • Adminer
  • OpcacheGUI

Screenshots

Homepage with host / docker information

The homepage shows you the status of your current configured setup.

  • which versions are used
  • what directories are mounted
  • where does DNS point to
  • what other settings have been set
  • did any errors occur?

Intranet Home

Virtual Host overview

This overview shows you all available virtual hosts and if they need additional configuration (on the host)

Virtual Hosts are considered valid if the following requirements are met (on the host system):

  • htdocs folder/symlink exists in your project folder
  • /etc/hosts has a valid DNS config for your host: 127.0.0.1 <project-folder>.<TLD_SUFFIX> (alternatively the bundle BIND server can be attached to your host-computer).

Intranet vHost

Database overview

Shows you all the databases that are loaded

Intranet DB

Email overview

Shows you all the emails that have been sent. No email will actually be sent outside, but they are all catched by one account and presented here.
