php7-wp-build-docker

Goal:

1. Build a .deb package (primarily focusing on Ubuntu LTS for now) of php 7 latest stable release, optimized for running wordpress.
2. Automate that process via docker so that we can always snag the lastest stable source to build the packages.

Inspiration:

1. This thread about how it could be done and the potential performance improvements to be had.
2. I like the way this guy at yammer used a Makefile to orchestrate Docker so I basically stole it

How to use:

git clone https://github.com/kevinquinnyo/php7-wp-build-docker.git
cd php7-wp-build-docker
make

You need to have docker installed. That will build a .deb in ./14.04/ for the latest php, optimized for wordpress. It doesn't have any post-install scriptlets or additional fanciness. It doesn't even contain a php.ini or init script -- that needs improvement.

I welcome it. Just fork, and make a PR. It will probably be accepted.
