Usage

1. Serve static files

Mount your local directort ~/my-host-www into the docker and server those files.

$ docker run -i -p 80:80 -v ~/my-host-www:/var/www/html -t cytopia/nginx-stable

2. Serve PHP files with PHP-FPM

Note, for this to work, the ~/my-host-www dir must be mounted into the nginx docker as well as into the php-fpm docker.

You can also attach other PHP-FPM version: PHP-FPM 5.4, PHP-FPM 5.5, PHP-FPM 5.6, PHP-FPM 7.0 or PHP-FPM 7.1

Each PHP-FPM docker also has the option to enable Xdebug and more, see their respective Readme files for futher settings.

# Start the PHP-FPM docker, mounting the same diectory
$ docker run -d -p 9000 -v ~/my-host-www:/var/www/html --name php cytopia/php-fpm-5.6

# Start the Nginx docker, linking it to the PHP-FPM docker
$ docker run -i \
    -p 80:80 \
    -v ~/my-host-www:/var/www/html \
    -e PHP_FPM_ENABLE=1 \
    -e PHP_FPM_SERVER_ADDR=php \
    -e PHP_FPM_SERVER_PORT=9000 \
    --link php \
    -t cytopia/nginx-stable

3. Fully functional LEMP stack

Same as above, but also add a MySQL docker and link it into Nginx.

# Start the MySQL docker
# Make sure to
#   1. Set the socket dir, which will be needed by the PHP-FPM docker.
#   2. Mount the socket dir to the host, as it needs to be mounted by PHP-FPM
$ docker run -d \
    -p 3306:3306 \
    -v ~/tmp/host-mysql-sock:/tmp/docker-mysql-sock \
    -e MYSQL_SOCKET_DIR=/tmp/docker-mysql-sock \
    -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=my-secret-pw \
    --name mysql \
    -t cytopia/mysql-5.5

# Start the PHP-FPM docker, mounting the same diectory.
# Also make sure to
#   1. mount the MySQL socket to local disk within the PHP-FPM docker
#      in order to be able to use `localhost` for mysql connections from
#      withing the php docker.
#   2. forward the remote MySQL port 3306 to 127.0.0.1:3306 within the
#      PHP-FPM docker in order to be able to use `127.0.0.1` for mysq
#      connections from within the php docker.
$ docker run -d \
    -p 9000:9000 \
    -v ~/my-host-www:/var/www/html \
    -v ~/tmp/host-mysql-sock:/tmp/docker-mysql-sock \
    -e FORWARD_MYSQL_PORT_TO_LOCALHOST=1 \
    -e MYSQL_REMOTE_ADDR=mysql \
    -e MYSQL_REMOTE_PORT=3306 \
    -e MYSQL_LOCAL_PORT=3306 \
    -e MOUNT_MYSQL_SOCKET_TO_LOCALDISK=1 \
    -e MYSQL_SOCKET_PATH=/tmp/docker-mysql-sock/mysqld.sock \
    --name php \
    cytopia/php-fpm-5.6

# Start the Nginx docker, linking it to the PHP-FPM docker
$ docker run -i \
    -p 80:80 \
    -v ~/my-host-www:/var/www/html \
    -e PHP_FPM_ENABLE=1 \
    -e PHP_FPM_SERVER_ADDR=php \
    -e PHP_FPM_SERVER_PORT=9000 \
    --link php \
    --link mysql \
    -t cytopia/nginx-stable

4. Ultimate pre-configured docker-compose setup

Have a look at the devilbox for a fully-customizable docker-compose variant.

It offers pre-configured mass virtual hosts and an intranet.

It allows any of the following combinations:

• PHP 5.4, PHP 5.5, PHP 5.6, PHP 7.0 and PHP 7.1
• MySQL 5.5, MySQL 5.6, MySQL 5.7, MariaDB 5 and MariaDB 10
• Apache 2.2, Apache 2.4, Nginx stable and Nginx mainline
• And more to come...
