You have now installed Docker on your computer. Congratulations ! š„³ Now we will present you your home made environment.
But firstly, if you are completely new to Docker we recommend you to read the Docker Survival Guide.
Have a look at this folder. You have 2 files and 1 folder :
- docker-compose.yml
- Dockerfile
- src
The docker-compose.yml and Dockerfile are the configurations file in order to run your containers.
The src folder is your work environment folder where you will code your PHP files. There is already a index.php in it.
For working, you can paste the folder 03-docker-environment in your computer, rename it as you want and follow the instructions below.
When starting your env for the first time, run the following command in your repo:
docker-compose build
NOTE: thus you don't need to run this command each time, it may be useful to rebuild your services when you change the configuration of your services.
Then, simply run the following command to get started:
docker-compose up
The details for all your services is detailed bellow.
PHP is a server-side scripting language designed for web development, but which can also be used as a general-purpose programming language. PHP can be added to straight HTML or it can be used with a variety of templating engines and web frameworks. PHP code is usually processed by an interpreter, which is either implemented as a native module on the web-server or as a common gateway interface (CGI).
