⁠Docker Container: Centos7, Apache, PHP 7.3, and Xdebug

Set up Xdebug on a Docker Container with Centos 7, and PHP 7.3.

More details can be found here⁠.

⁠Build

Create Docker Image.

docker build -t <image_name> .

Replace <image_name> with the name you want for the image.

Example.

docker build -t image_apache .

⁠Run

Create Docker Container.

docker run -tid -p 4000:80 --name=<container_name> -v /path_to/folder:/var/www/html <image_name>

Replace <container_name> with the name you want for the container, and <image_name> with the name of the image you specified on the Build command above.

Example.

docker run -tid -p 4000:80 --name=container_apache -v /path_to/folder:/var/www/html image_apache

Also change "/path_to/folder" with the actual location of your website's root folder on your local machine.

⁠Check Xdebug Installation

To check Xdebug has been correctly installed and configured, open a terminal window into the Docker Container with the following command:

docker exec -it container_apache bash

Then, on the terminal window inside the container, we will use the php -i instruction to get information about our PHP installation. We will also use the grep utility to display only the information relevant to Xdebug:

php -i | grep xdebug

You will see an output similar to this one (excerpts):
