Alpine LAP Server with Extensions

Provides a basic LAP stack using Alpine, Apache2 and PHP7, loading in the various extensions along the way (see Dockerfile for full list).

Usage

To use this image directly, you can use a docker-compose file to keep things nice and simple... if you have a load balancer like traefik and mysql containers running on another docker network, you may have something like this...

version: "2"
services:
  myservice:
    build: ./
    labels:
      - "traefik.backend=myservice"
      - "traefik.frontend.rule=Host:myservice.docker.localhost"
    environment:
      - MYSQL_HOST=mysql
      - APACHE_SERVER_NAME=myservice.docker.localhost
      - PHP_SHORT_OPEN_TAG=On
      - PHP_ERROR_REPORTING=E_ALL
      - PHP_DISPLAY_ERRORS=On
      - PHP_HTML_ERRORS=On
      - PHP_XDEBUG_ENABLED=true
    networks:
      - default
    volumes:
      - ./:/app
	# ADD in permission for setting system time to host system time
    cap_add:
      - SYS_TIME
      - SYS_NICE
networks:
  default:
    external:
      name: docker_docker-localhost

Then run...

docker-compose up -d

This will patch the container through to traefik load balancer running from another dc file.

If you would like to add to this, expand on this, maybe you don't want to map your volume and want to copy files for a production system. You can create your own Dockerfile based on this image...

FROM ulsmith/alpine-apache-php7
MAINTAINER You <you@youremail.com>

ADD /public /app/public
RUN chown -R apache:apache /app

Where Do I Put My Files

Hmmm... you can place them in the /app folder, your application should be placed in the /app folder with public access being pushed through to /app/public. This alloows you to have your src files and other outside the public directory.
