I have been working on and brainstorming what my ideal dev setup might look like. Docker has really pulled me in and I would love to get your input on what you would like to add to a new base image. Any essential PHP extensions or helper apps you guys use that you think would useful to add?

Here are the specs I'm shooting for right now:

Core services

  • Nginx
  • PHP
  • MySQL

Additional Drupal Stuff

  • Apache Solr
  • Redis

PHP Extensions

  • XDebug
  • Zend OPCache
  • bcmath bz2 calendar iconv intl mbstring mysqli opcache pdo_mysql pdo_pgsql pgsql soap zip gd ldap exif redis

GUI Apps

If there are any useful existing project internally or open source I should check out for inspiration let me know.
