rosti/php repository overview

PHP 5.4, 5.5, 5.6 images based on Debian

Last few weeks we performed many changes to this image. We believe, usage will be stable in future now.

Image includes:

• supervisor (with apache process)
• PHP as mod_php
• Apache
• Dropbear as ssh daemon
• cron daemon
• redis (not enabled by default)
• memcached (not enabled by default)

This is complex image developed for Roští.cz service. We try to have simple environment for our users and right now, we think combination of technologies in one container is better for us, because users can affect complete environment.

All user's data are manage in /srv directory. The best option is mount volume with your app to container's /srv. It need's to have this directory structure:

• /srv/ - mount your app here
• /srv/webroot/ - this is place for you PHP code
• /srv/app/ - symlink to webroot (compatibility for other images)
• /srv/logs/ - almost all important logs are here
• /srv/conf/ - custom php.ini (should contain just changed values), supervisor configuration, crontab

All data are under user 1000 and group 1000. We need this for synchronization between server. It means apache runs under 1000:1000 user/group.

Image runs apache under supervisor. PHP is hooked to Apache through mod_php. Apache listen on port 8000. You can run your new site by this command:

docker run -d -p 10000:8000 -v /my/site/:/srv/ --name=phpapp rosti/php:5.6.7

I think the best way to run this image is this:

docker run -d -p 127.0.0.1:10000:8000  -v /my/site/:/srv/ --name=phpapp rosti/php:5.6.7

At the end, don't forget configure your nginx on host system:

server {
        listen       *:80;
        server_name  hostmag.cz www.hostmag.cz;
        location / {
                proxy_pass         http://127.0.0.1:10000/;
                proxy_redirect     default;
                proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
                proxy_set_header   Host       $host;
        }
}

SSH server is accessible on port 22.
