docker-lamp

Basic LAMP stack with docker-compose

Overview

This example uses the offical Docker containers for MySQL and PHP (with built-in Apache) to easily bring up a LAMP stack through docker-compose. Directories on the host machine are linked into the containers to allow live editing of PHP and persistence of the MySQL database.

Usage

1. Install docker and docker-compose
2. Clone repository and cd into new directory
3. Create or symlink php and mysql directories
4. Run sudo docker-compose up

Notes

• The easiest way to access the server is by using localhost, i.e. http://localhost:8080/index.php.
• The mysql label used in docker-compose.yml, in this case "db", is also the host name for connecting to the database in PHP.
• docker-php-ext-install, used in the Dockerfile, is a built-in installation script for core libraries that comes bundled with the PHP container image and greatly simplifies installation of the mysqli module.
