Usage Instructions:

Docker

To use this image with Docker, you can pull it from Docker Hub and run it with the following command:

docker pull nicecollab/php8.2-apache
docker run -d -p 80:80 -v /path/to/your/code:/var/www/public nicecollab/php8.2-apache

Replace /path/to/your/code with the path to your PHP project. The -p 80:80 flag maps port 80 on the Docker container to port 80 on your host machine.

Docker Compose

For a more complex setup, including database containers and other services, you can use Docker Compose. Below is an example docker-compose.yml file:

version: '3.8'

services:
  web:
    image: nicecollab/php8.2-apache
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    volumes:
      - ./src:/var/www/public
    depends_on:
      - db

  db:
    image: mysql:8.0
    volumes:
      - db_data:/var/lib/mysql
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: yourpassword
      MYSQL_DATABASE: yourdatabase
      MYSQL_USER: youruser
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: yourpassword

volumes:
  db_data:

To start the services, navigate to the directory containing the docker-compose.yml file and run:

docker-compose up -d

This command will spin up both the web and database containers, with your PHP application served from the src directory on your host machine.

This setup provides a full-featured PHP development environment, ready for use in both local development and production deployment.
