whumphrey/docker-lamp repository overview

⁠docker-lamp

Out-of-the-box LAMP image (Apache 2.4.7 + MySQL 5.5.53 + PHP 5.5.9) on Ubuntu 14.04.5 Trusty

⁠Usage

To create the image whumphrey/docker-lamp, execute the following command on the docker-lamp folder:

	 docker build -t whumphrey/docker-lamp .

You can now push your new image to the registry:

	 docker push whumphrey/docker-lamp

⁠Running your LAMP docker image

Start your image binding the external ports 22, 80 and 3306 in all interfaces to your container:

docker run -d -p 2222:22 -p 80:80 -p 3306:3306 -p 9001:9001 whumphrey/docker-lamp

Test your deployment:

	 curl http://localhost/

Hello world!

You can also map your own local directory for the webroot by using the -v switch

	 -v ~/projects/www/:/var/www/html

⁠Loading your custom PHP application

In order to replace the "Hello World" application that comes bundled with this docker image, create a new Dockerfile in an empty folder with the following contents:

	FROM whumphrey/docker-lamp:latest
	RUN rm -fr /app && git clone https://github.com/username/customapp.git /app
	EXPOSE 80 3306
	CMD ["/run.sh"]

replacing https://github.com/username/customapp.git with your application's GIT repository. After that, build the new Dockerfile:

	docker build -t username/my-lamp-app .

And test it:

	docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 3306:3306 username/my-lamp-app

Test your deployment:

	curl http://localhost/

That's it!

⁠Connecting to the bundled MySQL server from within the container

The bundled MySQL server has a root user with no password for local connections. Simply connect from your PHP code with this user:

<?php
$mysql = new mysqli("localhost", "root");
echo "MySQL Server info: ".$mysql->host_info;
?>

⁠Connecting to the bundled MySQL server from outside the container

The first time that you run your container, a new user admin with all privileges will be created in MySQL with a random password. To get the password, check the logs of the container by running:

docker logs $CONTAINER_ID

You will see an output like the following:

========================================================================
You can now connect to this MySQL Server using:

    mysql -uadmin -p47nnf4FweaKu -h<host> -P<port>

Please remember to change the above password as soon as possible!
MySQL user 'root' has no password but only allows local connections
========================================================================

In this case, 47nnf4FweaKu is the password allocated to the admin user.

You can then connect to MySQL:

	 mysql -uadmin -p47nnf4FweaKu

Remember that the root user does not allow connections from outside the container - you should use this admin user instead!

⁠Setting a specific password for the MySQL server admin account

If you want to use a preset password instead of a random generated one, you can set the environment variable MYSQL_PASS to your specific password when running the container:

```	docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 3306:3306 -e MYSQL_PASS="mypass" whumphrey/docker-lamp

You can now test your new admin password:

mysql -uadmin -p"mypass"

`.htaccess` is enabled by default. To disable `.htaccess`, you can remove the following contents from `Dockerfile`
