A Debian based PHP (mod_fpm) + Apache (MPM event) Docker workflow

Using Dockerfile directly

1- Clone this project then generate a Laravel (or any PHP code) project inside src

2- Run the build script, sh docker_build_dev.sh for development or sh docker_build_prod.sh for a production optimized version.

3- Bring up the container using sh docker_container_run.sh

Using Docker Compose

This approach adds a database (MariaDB) and also makes it easier to bring up/down PHP/Apache

1- Clone this project

2- Run docker-compose build to build the services. Optionally you may pass build time arguments like --build-arg APP_DEBUG=false or otherwise change their value inside .env file. This could be particularly useful if you are using docker-compose to deploy for production on a single server.

3- Bring up all services using docker-compose up

Notes:

• In case you need to extract a file from inside the image to the host environment you can easily achieve it like the following example:

docker run --rm laravel-php-fpm-apache cat /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf > my-httpd.conf

• The document root is set to src/public so if that folder doesn't exist, Apache won't start, of course you can always change that in host.conf file
