Dev Playground with Docker

The files from this repository can be added to any other project to run it inside Docker.

It is a base from phpdocker.io with some additions

Non-root user inside Docker
No issues with file ownership
.env file for configuring Apache & MySQL
Scripts to easily manage Docker (install, start, logs, console)
Example code for connecting to the database

This repository works well together with lode/linting-scripts.

Install

To get started clone the repository and open a terminal inside the repository directory.

Install: Docker Desktop on Mac, Docker Engine is enough for Linux
- Mac: no need to sign in with a Docker account when the installer asks you to.
- Mac: under 'Settings' -> 'General' disable 'SBOM indexing'.
- Mac: use ./script/* for managing docker instead of the control panel of Docker Desktop for Mac.
- Linux: follow Docker post-installation to manage docker without root.
Run ./script/setup
Run ./script/server

Usage after first setup

Start server: ./script/server
See the script/ directory for more commands

Connect to the database

Connect to the database from outside Docker:

hostname: localhost
port: see SQL_PORT_EXTERNAL in docker.env
username/password: see values in docker.env

For managing databases:

username: root
password: root-secret

To Do

Upgrade mysql
Add custom bashrc
Setup XDebug
