ente/magento repository overview

⁠Magento seamless Dockerizing

I have been working on clouds at the IaaS layer over 10 years. With Amazon AWS and Google GCE now providing large-scale cloud service for several years, it is fair to say that getting access to a server has never been easy and quick.

However, application packing, configuration and composing of service in ditributed enviroment has not progressed much despite a lot of work in configuration management and orchestiration.

Deploying and running a distributed application at scale and in a fault-tolerant manner is still hard.

Dockerizing is not about full virtualization versus containers; it's about the easy of packing and running an application.

As a developer, I spent a lot of time to creating my development environment, I hope this Docker scratch will help everyone to up and run the Magento container for development and test purposes.

A Docker file installs required the Magento system requirements, PHP extensions, Apache and Nginx as well as PHP-FPM. The Nginx is default options but you can switch to the Apache with environment variable

⁠Installation

The easy way to get up and running with this Docker container is to pull the latest stable versions from the Docker Hub Registry⁠. I organized container tags as an OS and PHP version. Current OS and PHP versions are

• Centos 7 and PHP55
• Centos 7 and PHP56

docker pull docker pull ente/magento:centos7-php56

⁠Usage

Environment variables;

• $WEB_SERVER = used switching the web server. Default is Nginx. For Apache: httpd or apache
• $XDEBUG_RHOST = activates the xdebug and setts the PROXY ip for debuging
• $UID = Modify apache UID
• $GID = Modify apache GID

Used Volums;

• /var/www/html = Magento application source codes
• /var/log/httpd = Apache logs if it activated
• /var/log/nginx = Nginx logs
• /var/log/php-fpm = PHP-FPM logs

 sudo docker run  -p 80:80 --name docker-magento-nginx -d ente/magento:centos7-php56

if you'd like to switch Nginx to appache

sudo docker run  -p 80:80 --name docker-magento-httpd -e WEB_SERVER=httpd -d ente/magento:centos7-php56
