rodger753/docker-xampp repository overview

For PHP 8, start your container like this:

docker run --name myXampp -p 41061:22 -p 41062:80 -d -v ~/my_web_pages:/www tomsik68/xampp:8

⁠docker-xampp

This image is intended for PHP+MySQL development. For convenience, it also runs SSH server to connect to. Both MySQL and phpmyadmin use default XAMPP password.

⁠Running the image

This image uses /www directory for your page files, so you need to mount it.

docker run --name myXampp -p 41061:22 -p 41062:80 -d -v ~/my_web_pages:/www rodger753/xampp

The command above will expose the SSH server on port 41061 and HTTP server on port 41062. Feel free to use your own name for the container.

To browse to your web page, visit this URL: http://localhost:41062/www⁠ And to open up the XAMPP interface: http://localhost:41062/⁠

⁠Default Linux Root credentials

⁠Default MySQL credentials

⁠Additional How-tos

⁠My app can't function in /www folder

No problem, just mount your app in the /opt/lampp/htdocs folder, for example:

docker run --name myXampp -p 41061:22 -p 41062:80 -d -v ~/my_web_pages:/opt/lampp/htdocs tomsik68/xampp

⁠ssh connection

default SSH password is 'root'.

ssh root@localhost -p 41061

⁠get a shell terminal inside your container

docker exec -ti myXampp bash

⁠Use your own configuration

In your home directory, create a my_apache_conf directory in which you place any number of apache configuration files. As soon as they end with the .conf extension, they will be used by xampp. Make sure to use the following flag in your command: -v ~/my_apache_conf:/opt/lampp/apache2/conf.d, for example:

docker run --name myXampp -p 41061:22 -p 41062:80 -d -v ~/my_web_pages:/www  -v ~/my_apache_conf:/opt/lampp/apache2/conf.d tomsik68/xampp

⁠Restart the server

Once you have modified configuration for example

docker exec myXampp /opt/lampp/lampp restart

⁠phpmyadmin

If you used the flag -p 41062:80 with docker run, just browse to http://localhost:41062/phpmyadmin/⁠ .

⁠Use a Different XAMPP or PHP Version

Currently, the Docker image is built only for PHP 5, 7 and 8. If you need another version, you can easily build a Docker image yourself, here's how:

1. Clone this repo
2. Find the URL to a URL to your desired version. List of versions can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Linux/⁠
3. Build the image using e.g. docker build --build-arg XAMPP_URL="https://www.apachefriends.org/xampp-files/5.6.40/xampp-linux-x64-5.6.40-1-installer.run?from_af=true" .
