Docker Development Webserver for web application

Docker setup for creating multiple application in single host machine with named host for faster development.

In a fresh PC we need to install many things to run multiple PHP applications. To make the things easier, this repository consists of the most used docker images that are combined together to make multiple laravel applications up and running with a less amount of time.

Steps

• Install docker and docker-compose
• Clone this repo
• Copy docker-compose.yml.sample to docker-compose.yml. (`cp docker-compose.yml.sample docker-compose.yml)
• Open docker-compose.yml with any editor
• Add a new container info in 'Custom applications' section or modify the existing containers info
• Remove the sections that are not necessary.
• Provide the IP address of a container in ipv4_address attribute of networks.
• Create a directory anywhere to store the data of your various databases. e.g. /opt/data and create 5 directories in that is described in volumes properties of data section. Then change the mapping so that the left side of : part matches all the directories. e.g.

- /path/to/your-data-directory/mysql:/var/lib/mysql
- /path/to/your-data-directory/postgres:/var/lib/postgres
- /path/to/your-data-directory/memcached:/var/lib/memcached

• Save the file
• Copy start.sample to start. (cp start.sample start)
• Open start and change the 4th line so that it meets your custom application names.
• Go to the root of the cloned repo and run ./start.
• Add the urls in your /etc/hosts file that are defined in VIRTUAL_HOST directives.
• Browse the urls in your browser.

Inter application browsing (from one container to another)

To reach one application from another application with named route, provide the named route and IP in the extra_hosts section. e.g. see laravel56-apache section.

Mysql host

From your host machine you can reach mysql at 127.0.0.1 as host. e.g. From host run mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -proot

From any docker container can reach mysql at 11.12.100.1 as host e.g.: From container run mysql -h 11.12.100.1 -u root -proot

Note: Laraedit version is available in laravel-laraedit branch.
