php-dev

PHP-DEV is a small package that includes a web server, PHP and some tools needed to develop a web application. You can easily decide which version of PHP you want to use and whether you want to start an Apache or a Nginx webserver by setting the values in a docker-compose.yml. We recommend using pluswerk/docker-global as a wrapper for your projects, since this Dockerfile has been built keeping that in mind.

Setup

Create a compose/Development/docker-compose.yml like shown below.
Change all your settings. Mainly the VIRTUAL_HOST, WEB_DOCUMENT_ROOT and optionally the Application Context. The Environment Variable CONTEXT is used to switch between different docker-compose.yml files.

Then you can copy the start.sh into your project and start it.

Documentation

The base Docker Images are webdevops/php-apache-dev and webdevops/php-nginx-dev respectively. (github)

Features

• XDebug - how to debug your code
• Environment Variables - what can I configure
• PHP Profiling - why is my code so slow/memory hungry

Helpful Information

• Code Coverage - I want to test my code with code coverage (phpunit, infection)
• Change docker project name - all my projects are in folders named the same
• Nginx Reverse Proxy - VIRTUAL_HOST explanation
• TYPO3 configuration >=8 - AdditionalConfiguration.php
• TYPO3 configuration <=7 - AdditionalConfiguration.php
• ImageMagick or GraphicMagick - using php module

Docker compose

This is an example of a docker-compose.yml file. It is enough to put this file into the project, configure it and start the Docker Project. Further information can be found in the Documentation.

Example file: compose/Development/docker-compose.yml

services:
  web:
    image: ghcr.io/pluswerk/php-dev:nginx-8.3-alpine

    volumes:
      - .:/app
# the docker socket is optional if no node container is needed
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
      - ~/.ssh:/home/application/.ssh
      - ~/.composer/cache:/home/application/.composer/cache
      - ~/.gitconfig:/home/application/.gitconfig

    environment:
#     Take a look at VIRTUAL_* in the documentation under Nginx Reverse Proxy
      - VIRTUAL_HOST=docker-website.${TLD_DOMAIN:?TLD_DOMAIN is required},sub.docker-website.${TLD_DOMAIN:?TLD_DOMAIN is required}
#     - HTTPS_METHOD=noredirect

      - WEB_DOCUMENT_ROOT=/app/public
      - XDEBUG_CLIENT_HOST=${XDEBUG_CLIENT_HOST:-}
      - php.xdebug.idekey=${XDEBUG_IDEKEY:-PHPSTORM}
      - PHP_IDE_CONFIG=${XDEBUG_IDEKEY:-"serverName=_"}

#      Project Env vars (enable what you need)
#      - APP_ENV=development_docker
#      - PIMCORE_ENVIRONMENT=development_docker
#      - TYPO3_CONTEXT=Development/docker

#      Don't forget to connect via bash start.sh
      - APPLICATION_UID=${APPLICATION_UID:-1000}
      - APPLICATION_GID=${APPLICATION_GID:-1000}

  node:
    image: node:18
    volumes:
      - ./:/app
    working_dir: /app
    environment:
#      Don't forget to connect via bash start.sh
      - APPLICATION_UID=${APPLICATION_UID:-1000}
      - APPLICATION_GID=${APPLICATION_GID:-1000}
    stop_signal: SIGKILL
    entrypoint: bash -c 'groupmod -g $$APPLICATION_GID node; usermod -u $$APPLICATION_UID node; tail -f /dev/null'

networks:
  default:
    name: global
    external: true

Hint for the example above: In your own configuration you might want to replace docker-website with your project name, e.g typo3. TLD_DOMAIN is an environment variable, your nginx container listens on for incoming requests. e.g. example.com. Your project will then be reachable by going to this domain: typo3.example.com

Tested with

This project is a basic php-installation and should be able to run most applications. Nonetheless has this tool successfully been tested/used with:

• TYPO3 >=7
• PIMCore >= 5.4
• Standalone PHP (Symfony, Laravel/Lumen, Vanilla) Projects
• WordPress >= 4.5
