Usage

apache-buster:

This image was built based-on php/apache-buster image. Add support to Laravel's scheduled tasks, queue, and specify the execution user with $UID and $GID. The container will create the run user at startup.

The Apache service, scheduled tasks (by artisan schedule:run), queue work processes (by artisan queue:work), and any commands by artisan will run as a user with $UID and $GID.

▶ docker run \
--restart always \
--hostname simple \
--name simple
-d \
-p 80:80 \
-e UID=$(id -u) \
-e GID=$(id -g) \
-e SCHEDULE=On \
-e SUPERVISORD=On \
-v /path/to/your/php.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/php.ini \
-v /path/to/host:/var/www/html \
troytse/php-laravel:apache-buster

A typical example for apache-buster:

fpm-alpine:

This image was built based-on php/fpm-alpine image. Add support to Laravel's scheduled tasks, queue, and specify the execution user with $UID and $GID. The container will create the run user at startup.

The PHP-FPM processes, scheduled tasks (by artisan schedule:run), queue work processes (by artisan queue:work), and any commands by artisan will run as a user with $UID and $GID.

▶ docker run \
--restart always \
--hostname sample \
--name sample

-e UID=$(id -u) \
-e GID=$(id -g) \

Environment Variables

UID / GID

(Default: 0)

• These two variables specify to run as the user for the Apache/PHP-FPM, scheduled task, queue work, and artisan command.
• (for apache-buster, $UID and $GID will override the $APACHE_RUN_USER and $APACHE_RUN_GROUP)

SUPERVISORD

(On/Off, Default: Off)

• This variable specifies whether to run the supervisor service after the container is created.

SUPER

(On/Off, Default: Off)

• This variable specifies whether to add the "php artisan schedule:run" into the crontab after the container is created.

Supervisor configuration

(Optional)

• Put your customized "supervisord.conf" file in the project folder.
  • Example:

  [program:queue-work-default]
  process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
  directory=/var/www/html
  command=/usr/local/bin/php /var/www/html/artisan queue:work --daemon --queue=default,high
  autostart=true
  autorestart=true
  user=%(ENV_RUN_USER)s
  numprocs=3
  redirect_stderr=true
  
  [program:queue-work-low]
  process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
  directory=/var/www/html
  command=/usr/local/bin/php /var/www/html/artisan queue:work --daemon --queue=low
  autostart=true
  autorestart=true
  user=%(ENV_RUN_USER)s
  numprocs=2
  redirect_stderr=true
  

Other Environment Variables

For other environment variables, please reference to the base image

• php/apache-buster
• php/fpm-alpine

Console Commands

• Run artisan command in the container.

  ▶ docker exec -it <container_name> artisan <command>

• Run composer command in the container.

  ▶ docker exec -it <container_name> composer <command>

• You can create a shell script in your project directory to quickly call them.

  • For example, create a shell named "docker_exec" and content as follows:

  #!/bin/sh
  sudo docker exec -it your_container_name $@ 

  • Then you can call them like this:

  ▶ ./docker_exec artisan make:job DoSomething
  ▶ ./docker_exec composer dump-autoload

  • (The above operations will be run as the specified user by $UID and $GID.)
