LAMP stack built with Docker Compose

A basic LAMP stack environment built using Docker Compose. It consists of the following:

• PHP
• Apache
• MySQL
• phpMyAdmin
• Redis

As of now, we have several different PHP versions. Use appropriate php version as needed:

• 5.4.x
• 5.6.x
• 7.1.x
• 7.2.x
• 7.3.x
• 7.4.x
• 8.0.x

Please note that we simplified the project structure from several branches for each php version, to one centralized master branch. Please let us know if you encouter any problems.

Installation

• Clone this repository on your local computer
• configure .env as needed
• Run the docker-compose up -d.

git clone https://github.com/sprintcube/docker-compose-lamp.git
cd docker-compose-lamp/
cp sample.env .env
// modify sample.env as needed
docker-compose up -d
// visit localhost

Your LAMP stack is now ready!! You can access it via http://localhost.

Why you shouldn't use this stack unmodified in production

We want to empower developers to quickly create creative Applications. Therefore we are providing an easy to set up a local development environment for several different Frameworks and PHP Versions. In Production you should modify at a minimum the following subjects:

• php handler: mod_php=> php-fpm
• secure mysql users with proper source IP limitations
