Setting up your website

If you have any dependencies, you can just install them right in your project folder.

The containers will know about them.

Things to change for your app:

1. in docker-compose.yml, change the volumes folder to map properly to your project.
2. in docker-compose.yml, set the port to map properly to your docker host so it doesn't conflict.

Tips:

Install composer http://getcomposer.org

Install dependencies through composer composer install

DOCKER COMPOSE

start the web app:

docker-compose up -d web

stop the server:

docker-compose stop

build and migrate the database, should only need to do this once or when you want to migrate. It might be smart to make a migration handler.

docker-compose run webapp bash /data/www/db/build.sh

make a backup of the database, mysql container must have a volume set up to host. This will put the dump in your project's root folder.

docker-compose run mysql bash -c 'exec mysqldump --all-databases -h mysql -u"$MYSQL_USER" -p"$MYSQL_PASSWORD" > /data/all-databases.sql'

restore dump to the database (untested):

docker exec -i imageNameOrId mysql nameOfYourDb < ~/path/to/your/dump.sql

Global Variables

Global variables can be set in container-files/etc/nginx/fastcgi_params
