DAMP

Docker + Apache + MySQL + PHP. Very Moist!

DAMP is a composing tool that will help you deploy Apache, MySQL and PHP in one shot.

DAMP is named to pay homage to LAMP.

The idea is to deploy the server environment as same as LAMP on a brand new server. (If you want to replace an exist server, please check this one: DAMP Alternative)

DAMP Project is licensed under the Mozilla Public License Version 2.0 and the Anti 996 License Version 1.0 (Draft)

Features

Easy to deploy
Support HTTP/2 and TLS1.3

Introduction

Before read, please ensure that you have known about apache2 and docker

Description

Apache version 2.4, works in event mode.
PHP version 7.4, works by PHP-FPM
MySQL version 5.7.

Refer to Dockerfiles for more information. All X.Y.Z version number Z are not assigned. Assign by yourself if you wish.

Among them:

The apache2-event directory includes all configurations about Apache, including a default configuration file backup. You can compare them to know what is changed in this project. Also you can change the config as you wish.

The php-fpm directory includes all configurations about php. The Dockerfile includes how damp_php-fpm compiled。Also you can change the config as you wish.（If you need to use damp in China mainland, uncomment COPY etc/ /etc/ in Dockerfile, and it will use USTC open source software mirror to speed compiling, instead of using deb.debian.org

The mysql-db-storage directory stores MySQL Database files (as /var/lib/mysql/ in traditional ways)(Notice, this directory is created after damp runs once. Permissions is controlled by MySQL Docker)

The logs directory stores apache2 logs (as /var/log/apache2/ in traditional ways)

The sites directory stores websites files:

sites-conf directories: store website setting. (as apache2/sites-conf/ in traditional ways)
sites-document directories: store website files. (as /var/www/html/ in traditional ways)

Usage

Demo

In sites directory, there are a default site(IP direct access), and a demo site(damp.test).

The demo site's domain is damp.test。You can test by editing your hosts。As example if you want to deploy and test on same local host, add this line in hosts:

127.0.0.1	damp.test

And visit http://damp.test/ . DAMP also support HTTPS. Visit https://damp.test/ for sure (and of course a self-signed warning will pop up)

Add site

(Skip this part if you just want to try the demo)

Suggest you to do this by doing copy-paste the damp.test demo

Create relevant directory in sites-conf. Put relevant conf, certificate and key.
Create relevant directory in sites-document. Put your site files in it.
Exec docker-compose up -d to start.

Redeploy

After adding or changing configurations, the easiest way to redeploy is run:

docker-compose down && docker-compose up --force-recreate --build -d

If you want to upgrade Apache / MySQL / PHP, which needs to rebuild images, you need to remove all exist damp images and it takes time.

Please backup all your data before doing upgrade

docker-compose down --rmi all && docker-compose up --force-recreate --build -d

For more information, please refer to Docker and Docker Compose Documents.

Some notable things.

First thing First: If you want to use DAMP in production environment, please change the default password of MySQL, the MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD in docker-compose.yaml, then remove all _EXAMPLE parameters

About the logs of Apache, HTTP log and HTTPS log are mixed now. This is a Apache default site-conf thing. Maybe we should change it.
Also about logs, the Apache log files are output to logs/apache/, while the logs of php-fpm and mysql are output to stdout of docker, that leads to docker-compose logs
In docker-compose, the Timezone setting (environment TZ) only affect logs of apache and php. PHP: The default timezone used is UTC if you don't set it
MySQL won't get affected by system timezone setting, even the log. MySQL's default time zone of timestamps in messages written to the error log value is UTC
You can't access MySQL's port 3306 outside of DAMP by default. To make it accessible, uncomment the MySQL ports parameters in docker-compose.yaml
The MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD of MySQL in docker-compose.yaml only works in the first initialization. Once the initialization is completed, the root password of MySQL will be fixed and it can't be changed it by editing MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD in docker-compose.yaml.

Todo list

MySQL Upgrade to 8.0
Separate Apache's HTTP log and HTTPS log in demo
HTTP/3 (If Apache starts to support it, damp would follow)
