emcconkey/apache-php repository overview

⁠About This Image

This pulls ubuntu:latest, installs apache2.4 and php7.4, gives you volumes for the /var/www/html and /etc/apache2/sites-enabled so you can manage your web content and config files out of the container. Specifically, this is useful for WordPress and custom PHP/MySQL web applications.

It also comes preconfigured with mod_rpaf in case you are running this behind a proxy, so you can log the remote host IP correctly.

emcconkey/apache-php:7.0 - php version 7.0

emcconkey/apache-php:7.4 - php version 7.4

emcconkey/apache-php:latest - php version 7.4

emcconkey/apache-php:latest - php version 8.1

emcconkey/apache-php:no-volumes - follows latest but does not expose any volumes. Useful for embedding all your files in the container.

⁠Quick Start

You should mount a volume at /var/www/html/ and store your html/php files there.

docker run --name apache-php -d -p 8080:80 \
  -v /host/path/to/html:/var/www/html/ \
  -v /host/path/to/logs:/var/log/apache2/ \
  emcconkey/apache-php

Copy your html/php files to /host/path/to/html and then go to the server:port combination you set up.

If you want to change the apache config, map a volume to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled and put your own apache config file there.

docker run --name apache-php -d -p 8080:80 \
  -v /host/path/to/html:/var/www/html/ \
  -v /host/path/to/logs:/var/log/apache2/ \
  -v /host/path/to/config:/etc/apache2/sites-enabled \
  emcconkey/apache-php

Put as many *.conf files as you want in /host/path/to/config and apache will load them on startup.

⁠Environment Variables

Variable: APACHE_RUN_USER Default: webuser (uid 1000)

Variable: APACHE_RUN_GROUP Default: webuser (gid 1000)

Variable: APACHE_LOG_DIR Default: /var/log/apache2

Variable: APACHE_LOCK_DIR Default: /var/lock/apache2

Variable: APACHE_PID_FILE Default: /var/run/apache2.pid

Variable: RPAF_PROXY_SERVER Default: 127.0.0.1

⁠Exposed Ports

80 is the default port apache listens on internally.

⁠Mapping Volumes

The following volumes are available to be mapped:

/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
/var/www/html/
/var/log/apache2/

Unless you need to change the config file for something specific, you may not need to map that. It's recommended that you map the log files so they don't fill up your container.

⁠Linking to a Database

See https://www.conetix.com.au/blog/docker-basics-linking-and-volumes⁠ for a tutorial on how to link your containers.

⁠Logging

You should map /var/log/apache2/ to an appropriate location to capture the logfiles outside of the container.
