This configuration is intended to be used as a Docker-based development environment for Magento 2.
Folders:
images
: Docker images for nginx and phpcompose
: sample setups with Docker Compose
The Magento 1 version of this development environment has been deprecated and is no longer supported. PHP 5 was used as it's base, and that version has reached end-of-life. If you still wish to use this setup, please reference compose/magento-1 on tag 20.1.1, but please be aware these images are no longer maintained.
This setup assumes you are running Docker on a computer with at least 4GB of allocated RAM, a dual-core, and an SSD hard drive. Download & Install Docker Desktop.
This configuration has been tested on Mac & Linux. Windows is supported through the use of Docker on WSL.
Run this automated one-liner from the directory you want to install your project.
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/markshust/docker-magento/master/lib/onelinesetup | bash -s -- magento2.test 2.3.5-p1
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/markshust/docker-magento/master/lib/onelinesetup | bash -s -- magento2.test with-samples-2.3.5-p1
The magento2.test
above defines the hostname to use, and the 2.3.5-p1
defines the Magento version to install. Note that since we need a write to /etc/hosts
for DNS resolution, you will be prompted for your system password during setup.
Prefix the version with with-samples-
if you would like to automatically install sample data along with Magento.
After the one-liner above completes running, you should be able to access your site at https://magento2.test
.
Same result as the one-liner above. Just replace magento2.test
references with the hostname that you wish to use.
# Download the Docker Compose template:
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/markshust/docker-magento/master/lib/template | bash
# Download the version of Magento you want to use with:
bin/download 2.3.5-p1
# or if you'd rather install with Composer, run:
#
# OPEN SOURCE:
#
# rm -rf src
# composer create-project --repository=https://repo.magento.com/ --ignore-platform-reqs magento/project-community-edition=2.3.5-p1 src
#
# COMMERCE:
#
# rm -rf src
# composer create-project --repository=https://repo.magento.com/ --ignore-platform-reqs magento/project-enterprise-edition=2.3.5-p1 src
# Create a DNS host entry for the site:
echo "127.0.0.1 ::1 magento2.test" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
# Run the setup installer for Magento:
bin/setup magento2.test
open https://magento2.test
# Download the Docker Compose template:
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/markshust/docker-magento/master/lib/template | bash
# Remove existing src directory:
rm -rf src
# Replace with existing source code of your existing Magento instance:
cp -R ~/Sites/existing src
# or: git clone git@github.com:myrepo.git src
# Create a DNS host entry for the site:
echo "127.0.0.1 ::1 yoursite.test" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
# Start some containers, copy files ot them and then restart the containers:
docker-compose up -d
rm -rf src/vendor
bin/copytocontainer --all ## Initial copy will take a few minutes...
# Install composer dependencies, then copy artifacts back to the host (for debugging purposes):
bin/composer install
bin/copyfromcontainer vendor
# Import existing database:
bin/clinotty mysql -hdb -umagento -pmagento magento < existing/magento.sql
# Update database connection details to use the above Docker MySQL credentials:
# Also note: creds for the MySQL server are defined at startup from env/db.env
# vi src/app/etc/env.php
# Import app-specific environment settings:
bin/magento app:config:import
# Set base URLs to local environment URL (if not defined in env.php file):
bin/magento config:set web/secure/base_url https://yoursite.test/
bin/magento config:set web/unsecure/base_url https://yoursite.test/
bin/restart
open https://magento2.test
For more details on how everything works, see the extended setup readme.
To update your project to the latest version of docker-magento
, run:
bin/update
We recommend keeping your docker config files in version control, so you can monitor the changes to files after updates. After reviewing the code updates and ensuring they updated as intended, run bin/restart
to restart your containers to have the new configuration take effect.
It is recommended to keep your root docker config files in one repository, and your Magento code setup in another. This ensures the Magento base path lives at the top of one specific repository, which makes automated build pipelines and deployments easy to manage, and maintains compatibility with projects such as Magento Cloud.
Versions older than 24.0.0
did not include a bin/update
helper script, and versions older than 26.0.0
had a different directory structure. For both of these situations, you can download the most recent file to your project by running:
(cd bin && curl -OL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/markshust/docker-magento/master/compose/bin/update && chmod +x update)
You'll now have an updated bin/update
helper script, and can run it to update your project.
bin/bash
: Drop into the bash prompt of your Docker container. Thephpfpm
container should be mainly used to access the filesystem within Docker.bin/cli
: Run any CLI command without going into the bash prompt. Ex.bin/cli ls

The hostname of each service is the name of the service within the docker-compose.yml
file. So for example, MySQL's hostname is db
(not localhost
) when accessing it from within a Docker container. Elasticsearch's hostname is elasticsearch
.
Here's an example of how to connect to the MySQL cli tool of the Docker instance:
bin/cli mysql -h db -umagento -pmagento magento
You can use the bin/clinotty
helper script to import a database. This example uses the root MySQL user, and looks for the dbdump.sql
file in your local host directory:
bin/clinotty mysql -h db -u root -pmagento magento < dbdump.sql
First setup Magento Marketplace authentication (details in the DevDocs).
Copy src/auth.json.sample
to src/auth.json
. Then, update the username and password values with your Magento public and private keys, respectively. Finally, copy the file to the container by running bin/copytocontainer auth.json
.

Redis is now the default cache and session storage engine, and is automatically configured & enabled when running bin/setup
on new installs.
Use the following lines to enable Redis on existing installs:
Enable for Cache:
bin/magento setup:config:set --cache-backend=redis --cache-backend-redis-server=redis --cache-backend-redis-db=0
Enable for Full Page Cache:
bin/magento setup:config:set --page-cache=redis --page-cache-redis-server=redis --page-cache-redis-db=1
Enable for Session:
bin/magento setup:config:set --session-save=redis --session-save-redis-host=redis --session-save-redis-log-level=4 --session-save-redis-db=2
You may also monitor Redis by running: bin/redis redis-cli monitor
For more information about Redis usage with Magento, see the DevDocs.
Install and enable the PHP Debug extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace.
Otherwise, this project now automatically sets up Xdebug support with VS Code. If you wish to set this up manually, please see the .vscode/launch.json
file.
-
First, install the Chrome Xdebug helper. After installed, right click on the Chrome icon for it and go to Options. Under IDE Key, select PHPStorm from the list and click Save.
-
Next, enable Xdebug in the PHP-FPM container by running:
bin/xdebug enable
, the restart the docker containers (CTRL+C thenbin/start
). -
Then, open
PHPStorm > Preferences > Languages & Frameworks > PHP
and configure:-
CLI Interpreter
- Create a new interpreter and specify
From Docker
, and name itmarkoshust/magento-php:7-2-fpm
. - Choose
Docker
, then select themarkoshust/magento-php:7-2-fpm
image name, and set thePHP Executable
tophp
.
- Create a new interpreter and specify
-
Path mappings
- Don't do anything here as the next
Docker container
step will automatically setup a path mapping from/var/www/html
to./src
.
- Don't do anything here as the next
-
Docker container
- Remove any pre-existing volume bindings.
- Ensure a volume binding has been setup for Container path of
/var/www/html
mapped to the Host path of./src
.
-
-
Open
PHPStorm > Preferences > Languages & Frameworks > PHP > Debug
and set Debug Port to9001
. -
Open
PHPStorm > Preferences > Languages & Frameworks > PHP > DBGp Proxy
and set Port to9001
. -
Open
PHPStorm > Preferences > Languages & Frameworks > PHP > Servers
and create a new server:- Set Name and Host to your domain name (ex.
magento2.test
) - Keep port set to
80
- Check the Path Mappings box and map
src
to the absolute path of/var/www/html
- Set Name and Host to your domain name (ex.
-
Go to
Run > Edit Configurations
and create a newPHP Remote Debug
configuration by clicking the plus sign and selecting it. Set the Name to your domain (ex.magento2.test
). Check theFilter debug connection by IDE key
checkbox, select the server you just setup, and under IDE Key enterPHPSTORM
. This IDE Key should match the IDE Key set by the Chrome Xdebug Helper. Then click OK to finish setting up the remote debugger in PHPStorm. -
Open up
src/pub/index.php
, and set a breakpoint near the end of the file. Go toRun > Debug 'magento2.test'
, and open up a web browser. Ensure the Chrome Xdebug helper is enabled by clicking on it > Debug. Navigate to your Magento store URL, and Xdebug within PHPStorm should now trigger the debugger and pause at the toggled breakpoint.
Running Docker on Linux should be pretty straight-forward. Note that you need to run some post install commands as well as installing Docker Compose. These steps are taken care of automatically with Docker Desktop, but not on Linux.
You may have to increase a virtual memory map count on the host system. It is required by Elasticsearch.
Add following line to /etc/sysctl.conf
:
vm.max_map_count=262144
These docker images have built-in support for Blackfire.io. To use it, first register your server ID and token with the Blackfire agent:
bin/root blackfire-agent --register --server-id={YOUR_SERVER_ID} --server-token={YOUR_SERVER_TOKEN}
Next, open up the bin/start
helper script and uncomment the line:
#bin/root /etc/init.d/blackfire-agent start
Finally, restart the containers with bin/restart
. After doing so, everything is now configured and you can use a browser extension to profile your Magento store with Blackfire.
