docker run --name generatedata-mysql -e MYSQL_ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes -e MYSQL_DATABASE=generatedata -d mysql:5.7 && \
docker run --name generatedata -d --link generatedata-mysql:db -p 80:80 computerlyrik/generatedata

Open http://localhost/generatedata/install.php

For initial configuration settings see Example settings.php

The file will automatically included in your container build, given the follwing directory layout

./Dockerfile
./settings.php

Place a php.ini

memory_limit = 1024M

Have the follwing statement in your Dockerfile

COPY php.ini /usr/local/etc/php/
