A Docker image based on Ubuntu, running PHP7 on Apache2 using a MySQL Database for a Symfony2 Web Application.

Technical requirements

• Install Docker

The host machine must have Docker installed in order to build and run the Container. Instructions on how to install Docker can be found on the official page

• Install Docker Compose

Docker Compose helps on orchestrating the communication between the application container and mysql container. Instructions on how to install Docker Compose can be found on the official page.

Installation

• Clone source code

On the host machine clone the GitHub(git is required to be installed) repository by executing:

 git clone https://github.com/redjanym/docker-apache-php7-mysql-symfony2.git

• Add the Symfony2 Application

On the application directory setup the Symfony2 App. Do not install the Vendor packages, composer takes care of it during the building process.

• Run Docker

Go to the root directory of project and execute command:

   docker-compose up

• Modify your hosts file on he host machine by adding the virtual host:

127.0.0.1 www.example.com

The docker installation exposes ports 80 and 3306 so this 2 ports must be free on the host machine
