PHP-DEV is a small package that includes a web server, PHP and some tools needed to develop a web application. You can easily decide which version of PHP you want to use and whether you want to start an Apache or a Nginx webserver by setting the values in a docker-compose.yml. We recommend using pluswerk/docker-global as a wrapper for your projects, since this Dockerfile has been built keeping that in mind.
Create a compose/Development/docker-compose.yml like shown below.
Change all your settings. Mainly the VIRTUAL_HOST, WEB_DOCUMENT_ROOT and optionally the Application Context.
The Environment Variable CONTEXT is used to switch between different docker-compose.yml files.
Then you can copy the start.sh into your project and start it.
The base Docker Images are webdevops/php-apache-dev and webdevops/php-nginx-dev respectively. (github)
This is an example of a docker-compose.yml file. It is enough to put this file into the project, configure it and start the Docker Project. Further information can be found in the Documentation.
Example file: compose/Development/docker-compose.yml
version: '3.5'
services:
web:
image: pluswerk/php-dev:nginx-7.4
volumes:
- .:/app
# the docker socket is optional if no node container is needed
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro

- ~/.gitconfig:/home/application/.gitconfig
environment:
# Take a look at VIRTUAL_* in the documentation under Nginx Reverse Proxy
- VIRTUAL_HOST=docker-website.${TLD_DOMAIN:?TLD_DOMAIN is required},sub.docker-website.${TLD_DOMAIN:?TLD_DOMAIN is required}

stop_signal: SIGKILL
entrypoint: bash -c 'groupmod -g $$APPLICATION_GID node; usermod -u $$APPLICATION_UID node; tail -f /dev/null'

name: global
Hint for the example above: In your own configuration you might want to replace docker-website with your project name, e.g typo3. TLD_DOMAIN is an environment variable, your nginx container listens on for incoming requests. e.g. example.com. Your project will then be reachable by going to this domain: typo3.example.com
This project is a basic php-installation and should be able to run most applications. Nonetheless has this tool successfully been tested/used with:
