⁠Introduction

As a developer, part of my day to day role is building and maintaining PHP applications across multiple PHP versions. Modern projects may require PHP 8.x, while many legacy platforms such as WHMCS, old Laravel applications, CodeIgniter projects, and older CMS systems still depend on PHP 5.6 or PHP 7.4.

Docker-LAMP v2 was built to solve this problem using a modern multi-container Docker architecture with isolated PHP runtimes.

Designed to provide a simple interface that 'gets out of your way', Docker-LAMP v2 supports modern and legacy PHP applications side-by-side with dynamic runtime switching using .htaccess.

Unlike the v1 monolithic Ubuntu 18.04 architecture, Docker-LAMP v2 now uses:

• Apache + PHP-FPM
• Separate isolated PHP runtime containers
• MariaDB container
• phpMyAdmin container
• Docker Compose orchestration
• ionCube support
• ARM64 + AMD64 compatibility

Docker-LAMP v2 supports:

• PHP 5.6
• PHP 7.4
• PHP 8.5
• Apple Silicon
• Linux servers
• Windows + Docker Desktop

The platform is designed for development, migration testing, legacy modernization, and production-compatible PHP deployments.

The table below shows the runtime versions included with Docker-LAMP v2.

Docker-LAMP v2 now uses a modular multi-container architecture with isolated PHP runtime containers for each supported PHP version.

⁠Quick Start

Clone repository:

git clone https://github.com/GagalKoding/docker-lamp.git && cd docker-lamp

⁠Using prebuilt Docker Hub images

Recommended for most users.

docker compose -f compose/docker-compose.hub.yml up -d

Run it

docker compose -f compose/docker-compose.yml up -d

⁠Open in browser

Application:

http://localhost

<FilesMatch \.php$>
    SetHandler "proxy:fcgi://php56:9000"
</FilesMatch>

PHP 7.4:

<FilesMatch \.php$>

No rebuild required.

Refresh browser after changing .htaccess.
