This repo contains a sample structure for running LAMP stack inside a Docker container

Boilerplate code for simple LAMP stack in Docker

What is this?

This repository has some basic codes to help you kickstart hosting a PHP site with Apache and MySQL. It could be used to transfer your existing PHP website to Docker.

How to use it?

You need Docker and Docker Compose to be installed on your computer/server. You can simply start the services with the docker-compose up command. It's suggested to do a first run without the -d attribute, to see all outputs from each containers to check for any configuration errors.

Used images

• Apache: ubuntu/apache2:2.4-20.04_beta
• PHP: php:7-fpm (feel free to change it to your desired version. It should be PHP 8, not 7)
• MySQL: mariadb (Choose your desired version. By default it's the latest)

Folder structure

• conf: All the configuration files mapped into this folder.
  • apache: Apache configuration files. By default only the sites-available directory is mounted.
    • sites-available: VirtualHosts, 000-default.conf is used for the config.
  • php: PHP configuration files, php.ini, etc.
  • php-fpm: The stack uses PHP-FPM, which can run multiple PHP instanced in pools. You can configure them here.
• db: Permanent storage for the MariaDB server
• html: The served files go there directly.
• images: Directory to store custom Docker images for the project.
• log: You can find there all the log files from the different containers.
