Docker commands cheatsheet

Build containers (and pull the latest images)

$ docker-compose build --pull

Start containers (and build if needed)

$ docker-compose up --build

Stop running containers

$ docker-compose stop

Stop and remove containers, networks and volumes

$ docker-compose down --volumes --remove-orphans

Display and follow logs of a container

$ docker-compose logs -f mysql

Get an interactive prompt for a container

$ docker-compose exec mysql /bin/bash

Interact with PHP

From container

$ docker-compose exec php /bin/bash
$ composer install

From host

$ docker-compose exec php composer install

Interact with MySQL

From container

$ docker-compose exec mysql /bin/bash
$ mysql -uroot -p

From host (mysql client required)

$ mysql -uroot -p --host=127.0.0.1 --port=3306
$ docker-compose exec mysql sh -c 'exec mysqldump -u"$MYSQL_USER" -p"$MYSQL_PASSWORD" "$MYSQL_DATABASE"' > ./dump.sql

Web access through NGINX

http://localhost (no extra step needed)
http://project.tld (add an entry "127.0.0.1 project.tld" to the host /etc/hosts file)

Web access through Apache httpd

Uncomment the httpd section of the docker-compose.yml file and adapt the mapped ports in the docker-compose.override.yml file.

Maildev UI access

http://localhost:1080

Xdebug usage

Xdebug is enabled by default. However, it is necessary to use a browser's extension to catch it. Example of extensions for Google Chrome: xdebug helper

Blackfire usage

Configure your blackfire credentials in the docker/.env file. Uncomment the blackfire section in the docker-compose.yml and docker/php/Dockerfile files. See https://blackfire.io/docs/integrations/docker for more informations.

From host

$ docker-compose exec blackfire blackfire curl http://nginx

From container

$ docker-compose exec php /bin/bash
$ blackfire run php script.php
$ blackfire curl http://nginx

phpMyAdmin

A tool like MySQL Workbench would be better but if you really want it uncomment the phpmyadmin section in the docker-compose.override(.dist).yml file.

http://localhost:8080
