LAMP Stack in docker container

LAMP Server on Ubuntu 16.04 with nano, git, PHP-7.0, Apache2, MySQL-5.7 and phpMyAdmin

Usage

1. Install docker

2. Download and start the LAMP server instance:

   docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 2222:22 -p 3306:3306 --name lamp adnan80/lamp

3. Test the LAMP server by pointing your browser to:

   http://localhost/ OR http://localhost/phpmyadmin

   and you should see the default apache index OR /phpmadmin to access MySQL database(s).

4. [Optional] Change your webserver root data storage location: It's likely desirable for your Apache www-root directory and MySQL data directory to be placed in a persistent storage location outside the docker container on the host's file system. For example. Let's imagine you wish to store your www files in a directory ~/www and mysql data in directory ~/mysql on the host's file system. Then start the docker container with below command:

   docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 2222:22 -p 3306:3306 \
   -v ~/www:/var/www/html -v ~/mysql:/var/lib/mysql \
   --name lamp adnan80/lamp
   

   Copy

5. Must have at least read permissions for ~/www on the host system. Generally, it's enough to do:

   sudo chmod -R 770 ~/www; sudo chown -R www-data. ~/www

6. [Optional] Stop the lamp docker container instance:

   docker stop lamp

7. [Optional] Delete the lamp docker container instance (after stopping it)

   docker rm lamp
