Docker-compose: Apache2 + PHP5 + MySQL

This docker compose runs an apache server with php5 and mysql with an admin with phpmyadmin

Overview

When starting to develop a PHP project, we need to build a web server with php installed, configure its virtualhost, install a database, configure it and so on. Having docker-compose and this basic structure, we can up any project in an extremely fast time.

Getting Started

In the root's project run

docker-compose up --build

Prerequisites

We need install the nexts dependencies:

• Docker Engine - The docker itself
• Docker Compose - For defining and running multi-container Docker applications

Distribution of directories

The following directory structure fully describes the project

.
+-- docker-compose.yml
+-- docker
|   +-- mysql
|   +-- sites-enabled
|   	+-- vhost.conf
|   +-- Dockerfile
+-- public_html

Inside docker/mysql will be stored the bases created by our project. Then DON'T DELETE IT. Inside docker/sites-enabled is the configuration of the server where we will install our project. Inside public_html is all our php project.

Adaptation to the project

To adapt it to your project, you must copy the content into the public_html folder.

Then, you can modify the docker-compose to map different ports, assign different ip, bind different folders, etc..
