calevans PHP CI Kit with Docker

The original repo seems to have been abandoned with no substantial changes in over a year.

I have forked it and 7.1-7.3 now work properly. (at least for my purposes) I welcome PRs to this to add functionality, correct mistakes I have made, and fix the older versions.

This repository contains a set of utilities for running PHP tests via Gitlab CI.

These tools provide:

Gitlab runner deployment script for Ubuntu on VM or metal server. It is not recommended to install runner right on the production system.
Set of Docker images for PHP 5.5 - 7.3 based on official Docker PHP images with additional modules and Node.js

The goal of these tools is to automate as much as possible of routine work related to configuring the runner so you can concentrate on writing tests for your code. Also these tools are trying to be resources savvy, since in most cases huge in-RAM caches are not needed for just running unit tests with some fixtures. So you can use very small VMs for running tests

Contents of repository

Gitlab-runner bootstrap script for deploying gitlab-runner
PHP Docker images - based on official Docker images, but include addtional modules and also obsolete versions of PHP 5.3 and PHP 5.4
Example projects - Example PHP projects

Quick start

Install Gitlab
Get a server (VM or metal) with minimal Ubuntu-14.04 installed. It will be used for the runner
Login as root to a server and execute curl -S https://raw.githubusercontent.com/calevans/docker/master/gitlab-runner-vm/bootstrap.sh | bash and answer the questions. This script will install docker, Gitlab runner, and configure runner for using these docker images.

Runner is limited to calevans/php:* images for main container (where your repository is cloned) and any service images */* (secondary containers spinned for services like mysql, redis, etc)

If you want to use the server for also running other images (ruby or whatever), you should add another runners to /etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml, and DO NOT overwrite allowed_images = ["calevans/php:*"] for this runner, since it is a potential security breach.

Requirements

Gitlab v9.0 and later
Gitlab runner v9.0 and later
