cassj/httpd-php7-ssl repository overview

⁠httpd-php7-ssl

This container has apache set up with php5 and ssl, but it doesn't have any application data.

⁠TO BUILD:

docker build -t whomever/httpd-php7-ssl:0.1 .

⁠TO RUN:

Create a data container. Set up your application data, make any necessary changes to configuration files. Exit the container. Use volumes to ensure that changes you make to application data or configuration settings persist:

VOLUMES:

/var/www/php-app Where apache looks for your php application data.

/usr/local/apache2/conf Apache config files. Has functional default settings. Provides a self-signed SSL cert in /usr/local/apache2/conf/ssl but replace with a real one if you have one.

/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf I you want to send mail through php the container has ssmtp installed, but you'll need to provide a valid config file with details of your smtp server. There is no default provided. Something like this should work:

hostname=my.server.com mailhub=smtp.gmail.com:587 UseSTARTTLS=YES AuthUser=[email protected]⁠ AuthPass=somepass

If you're using a Google account with 2-factor authentication then you will need to generate an app password for AuthPass which you can do at https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords⁠

So, run your data container something like:

docker run -it --name=php-app-data \
-v /var/www/php-app \
-v /usr/local/apache2/conf \
-v /tmp/ssmtp.conf:/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf\
cassj/httpd-php7-ssl:0.1  /bin/bash

  cd /var/www/php-app
  printf "<?php\nphpinfo();\n?>\n" > index.php 
  chown apache:apache index.php
  exit

Now you can start an instance of the webserver that will use this data volume (the environment variables are optional - they have default values)

docker run --name=php-app
-p 80:80
-p 443:443
-d
-e PORT=80
-e SSLPORT=443
-e ADMINEMAIL=[email protected]⁠
-e SERVERNAME=localhost
