A pre-configured LAMP container

A bare build LAMP image (APACHE2.4 + PHP5.5 + MYSQL5.5)

Usage

To create the image vect0r/lamp, execute the following command:

docker build -t vect0r/lamp .

push to registry/docker hub:

docker push vect0r/lamp

Running image

Start your image binding below ports:

docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 3306:3306 vect0r/lamp

Test your deployment:

curl http://localhost/

Hello world!

Inspect running container

If you would like to connect to your container and have a poke around, just do;

docker exec -it bash

Connecting to the bundled MySQL server from within the container

The bundled MySQL server has a root user with no password for local connections. Simply connect from your PHP code with this user:

<?php
$mysql = new mysqli("localhost", "root");
echo "MySQL Server info: ".$mysql->host_info;
?>

Connecting to the bundled MySQL server from outside the container

The first time that you run your container, a new user admin with all privileges will be created in MySQL with a random password. To get the password, check the logs of the container by running:

docker logs $CONTAINER_ID

You will see an output like the following:

========================================================================
You can now connect to this MySQL Server using:

    mysql -uadmin -p47nnf4FweaKu -h<host> -P<port>

Please remember to change the above password as soon as possible!
MySQL user 'root' has no password but only allows local connections
========================================================================

In this case, 47nnf4FweaKu is the password allocated to the admin user.

You can then connect to MySQL:

 mysql -uadmin -p47nnf4FweaKu

Remember that the root user does not allow connections from outside the container - you should use this admin user instead!

Setting a specific password for the MySQL server admin account

If you want to use a preset password instead of a random generated one, you can set the environment variable MYSQL_PASS to your specific password when running the container:

docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 3306:3306 -e MYSQL_PASS="mypass" vect0r/lamp

You can now test your new admin password:

mysql -uadmin -p"mypass"
