Docker PHP App

Basic docker containers to setup a modern PHP app (Symfony2, Laravel, etc).

Current Stack:

Debian Jessie
PHP-FPM 5.6
MySQL
nginx
PHPMyAdmin
Solr
Redis
rabbitmq
memcached
scala
selenuim - firefox

Installation

Place your web app under apps/ and create your the appropriate nginx.conf for your app under nginx/
Create an .env file from .env.distand edit it with your own config
Build then run the containers:

$ make build

Then update the hosts parameter in your app config, ie for Symfony2 in app/config/parameters.yml:

database_host: mysqldb
... 
solr_host: solr
...
rabbit_mq_host: rabbitmq

Usage

Custom scripts or additional extensions could be added into one of the containers build ( ie: installing more php extension or adding custom aliases.) Also you can add / remove containers.

$ make ssh container=php
$ php app/console cache:clear
$ composer install

$ make ssh container=memcached
$ memcached -u memcached -d -m 30 -l 127.0.0.1 -p 11211

Troubleshooting

First have a look here.

docker-compose build is not responding or is way too slow on Mac OS X

Try adding this line into your /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1 localunixsocket

Run docker inside a linux VM, assign the VM a static ip address and use your IDE to sync files
Have a look into docker-sync

Composer is too slow

Disable xdebug (inside the container from /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/docker-php-ext-xdebug.ini)
