docker-lamp-php-5

Legacy Lamp docker server for old PHP projects.

Docker && docker-compose installation instructions:

Install docker && docker-compose in your host machine:

Follow Docker installation guide: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation
Follow Docker-compose installation guide: https://github.com/docker/compose/releases

docker-lamp-php-5 it's made from two docker containers, one for PHP & Apache and another one for MySQL instance.

It uses docker and docker-compose. php-5.5, apache2.4 & mysql-5.5 but it can be customized easily to your needs.

Customization

• Customize the docker-compose.yml file to fit your needs.

• Change your PHP Version:

  This image is prepared to work with php-5.5-apache versions. It was also tested with 5.4.**, but 5.3.* and 5.6.* should work also. Just edit:

  -> docker/Dockerfile

  And change it accordingly (php-5.X-apache)and you are good to go.

  • Note: Same applies for mysql version, as long as the image name exists in the docker hub, you can customize it.

Install PHP Extensions

• Add one line for each extra extension you want to install, in the "Install PHP Extensions" section of your "docker/Dockerfile". For example, adding:

  RUN docker-php-ext-install gettext

  Would install gettext PHP extension into your server.

  List with all the extensions allowed to be installed via docker-php-ext-install command:

  • Note1: Sometimes, an extension install will throw an error as it requires some package to be installed via apt. For example, mcrypt extension requires the libmcrypt-dev package to be installed, so if you want to install this extension it would require to add the mentioned package in the "Install PHP extension dependencies" section.

  • Note2: Mysql & curl extensions are shipped by default. (Inside the Dockerfile and inside the image itself).

Install PHP Extensions using PECL (for extensions not available via docker-php-ext-install)

• Add one line for each extra extension you want to install, in the "Install PECL Extensions" section of your "docker/Dockerfile". For example, adding:

  RUN docker-php-pecl-install xdebug-2.5.4

  Would install xdebug version 2.5.4 (which works OK with PHP 5.5, configured in this package by default).

  List with all the extensions allowed to be installed via docker-php-pecl-install command:

  https://pecl.php.net/ (Browsable & Searchable).

Install Xdebug via PECL.

• Just uncomment the example provided in the "docker/Dockerfile" and customize the "docker/xdebug-ini-overrides.ini" to fit your needs.

Configure Apache

• You can use shipped docker/php.ini, provide yours, or customize the provided by this package, it will be loaded automatically.
• To configure Vhosts, copy your configuration file into the docker folder, and see the example in the "docker/Dockerfile".
• To enable apache modules (for example, rewrite), see the example in the "docker/Dockerfile".
