This is what I use to run CakePHP 4+ applications in Docker

Installation and use

1. Copy the contents of this repository into /docker in your application
2. Update the contents of /docker/.env to set your project name, hostname, IP addresses that don't overlap with any other currently-running containers, database credentials, etc.
3. Run cd /path/to/docker && bash build.sh and debug any errors that you get when building the containers
4. Open https://${HOST}:${APACHE_EXPOSED_PORT} (using the values you put into .env)

Troubleshooting

• According to recent tinkering, you may need to manually CREATE DATABASE dbname; the application's database and manually GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dbname.* TO 'username'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
  • To do: /docker/mysql/Dockerfile to ensure that this happens automatically
