Docker for VNS project

This project is based on ajardin repository

Architecture

• web: PHP 7.2 version with Apache (web server).
• mysql: mysql:latest image (database).
• maildev: djfarrelly/maildev:latest image (emails debugging).

Additional Features

Since this environment is designed for a local usage, it comes with features helping the development workflow.

The web container has a mount point used to share source files. By default, the ~/www/ directory is mounted from the host. It's possible to change this path by editing the docker-compose.yml file.

It's also possible to add custom virtual hosts: all ./web/vhosts/*.conf files are copied in the Apache directory during the image build process.

And the ./web/custom.ini file is used to customize the PHP configuration during the image build process.

Installation

This process assumes that Docker Engine and Docker Compose are installed. Otherwise, you should have a look to Install Docker Engine before proceeding further.

Clone the repository

$ git clone git@github.com:hochgenug/docker-vns.git vns

Define the environment variables

$ cp docker-env.dist docker-env
$ nano docker-env

Build the environment

$ docker-compose build
$ docker-compose up -d

Check the containers

$ docker-compose ps
        Name                      Command               State                    Ports
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
vns_web_1              docker-custom-entrypoint a ...   Up      80/tcp
vns_mysql_1            docker-entrypoint.sh mysqld      Up      0.0.0.0:3306->3306/tcp
vns_maildev_1          bin/maildev --web 80 --smtp 25   Up      25/tcp, 0.0.0.0:1080->80/tcp

Note: You will see something slightly different if you do not clone the repository in a vns directory. The container prefix depends on your directory name.

Enter in the web container

$ docker exec -it vns_web_1 bash

(To get the name use the docker-compose ps command)
