DAMP is a MAMP-like development environment powered by Docker. More specifically DAMP is a CLI that wraps Docker commands to make it easy to setup and run development sites on your local machine (ala Vagrant).
To be able to use DAMP you must have the following installed on your system:
Installation is a simple as running:
npm install -g damp-cli
The first time you run DAMP it will setup and configure the Docker machine for you so all you need to do is run:
damp up
and you will have a working Docker environment setup already. Once damp up
has finished you can test
that it works by visiting http://damp.dev. DAMP also comes with phpMyAdmin
pre-installed at http://phpmyadmin.damp.dev.
You can control the virtual machine using other damp commands such as status
, halt
, destroy
etc. For more
information on available commands run damp --help
.
To create a site using DAMP you simply need to run:
damp create-site
You will be asked to give the site a name (used as it's subdomain e.g. http://myapp.damp.dev) and
what type of site you would like to create (Static, WordPress etc.). DAMP will then create the site, add the relevant information
to your hosts file and attach a volume for your files in your home directory at {HOME}/damp
(e.g. {HOME}/damp/myapp
).
Removing a site is as simple as running:
damp remove-site
and selecting the site to remove.
