LAMP stack built with Docker Compose
A basic LAMP stack environment built using Docker Compose. It consists of the following:
- PHP
- Apache
- MySQL
- phpMyAdmin
- Redis
As of now, we have several different PHP versions. Use appropriate php version as needed:
- 5.4.x
- 5.6.x
- 7.1.x
- 7.2.x
- 7.3.x
- 7.4.x
Please note that we simplified the project structure from several branches for each php version, to one centralized master branch. Please let us know if you encouter any problems.
Installation

Why you shouldn't use this stack unmodified in production
We want to empower developers to quickly create creative Applications. Therefore we are providing an easy to set up a local development environment for several different Frameworks and PHP Versions. In Production you should modify at a minimum the following subjects:
- php handler: mod_php=> php-fpm
- secure mysql users with proper source IP limitations
