Golem

Long story short: I got a pretty damn good name for an app and I need something to build around it. No clue. So I decided to make yet another Docker bootstrap for PHP. Just to have a running environment with PHP, apache and mysql in a few commands. I usually do this when I need to do some small stuff, playgrounds, package testing, that needs a fast boostrap.

Since is a Composer plugin, it can be used on existing projects as long as these files and directories does not exist:

• ./Makefile
• ./docker-compose.yml
• ./build/docker

It will fail otherwise.

Usage

Is a Composer plugin, so just require it in your project.

composer require --dev utnaf/golem

What I have?

You have:

• php:7.3-apache Docker image with a virtual host configured on http://app.local
• latest Composer version
• mariadb:10.3 Docker image
• a Makefile to easily handle your docker images

How do I make it work?

Just run:

$ make up

Now you can visit http://localhost or add an entry to your /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1 app.local

and then visit http://app.local

Note for docker-machine user

If you are using any kind of docker-machine please replace 127.0.0.1 with the IP of your docker-machine.

Connect to the DB

Your DB host will be named <project dir>_database, the database itself is <project dir>_db, username and password can be found in the docker-compose.yml.

Ex: if your project is in the directory my-awesome-project the db hostname will be myawesomeproject_database and the DB myawesomeproject_db.

Makefile

There is a Makefile that allows you to easily interact with the docker container.

$ make up
$ make kill
$ make build
$ make reset
$ make composer [command]
$ make sh

Disclaimer

I'm not an expert in Docker, but this is working good for me. In any case please feel free to contribute in improving this if you feel the need by writing an issue. Any help or comment is highly appreciated.
