Introduction

This repository is part of The Easiest Way to Dockerize a PHP Application post.

Applications

Two apps are awesome and best. Every app has a docker directory and .env and docker-compose.yml files.

Awesome app is a simple app and Best app is a more complex app with almost every docker-compose.yml line explained.

Disclaimer

1. When dockerizing a real-life app, you will probably want to add a .htaccess file in your Apache document root, but as .htaccess is unique per project, we won't cover setting that up.
2. This project might work slower on Mac, see Docker on Mac - how to speed it up? for tips on how to improve performance.

Proxy

Proxy has its certificates directory and .env and docker-compose.yml files.

Setup

1. Add 127.0.0.1 www.best.com app.best.com www.awesome.com to your hosts;
2. Run ./start.sh (Ports 80 and 443 must be free);
3. Visit www.best.com or app.best.com or www.awesome.com;
4. To stop, run ./stop.sh.

Debugging with Xdebug

Debugger is enabled only for the best app.

If you are using PhpStorm, see Zero-configuration debugging.

After listening is started in PhpStorm, go to apps/best/docker and run docker-compose exec app php -d xdebug.start_with_request=yes public/index.php.

When asked, set up server configuration like this:
