README

A utility for rapidly deploying Docker for PHP apps.

Watch the installation video: https://youtu.be/xZxaJcsbrWU

Includes:

PHP 5.6, 7.0-7.4 + 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3
Nginx
Redis
PostgreSQL v15
MariaDB v10.5
Oracle ext-oci

The phpexperts/php:VESION-full images contain every bundled PHP extension, and Redis.

imap
ldap
pspell
redis
snmp
xmlrpc

The phpexperts/php:VERSION-oracle images contain everything in the full image plus drivers for Oracle (ext-oci8),

If you need an extension that is not available in the full build, please create an Issue at GitHub.

Advantages over other dockerized PHP projects

Super fast, completely automated installation. (Great for testing multiple versions on CIs)
The BIG difference between www.phpdocker.io and Dockerize PHP is that Dockerize PHP provides all of the client utilities, where phpdocker.io provides NONE of them.

Out of the box, you have per-project binaries:

php
mysql
mysqldump
psql
pg_dump
createdb
dropdb
redis
redis-cli

Installation

Watch the Installation HOWTO video.

Via Bash (Zero PHP dependencies)

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PHPExpertsInc/dockerize/master/dockerize.sh | bash

Via Composer

composer require --dev phpexperts/dockerize
vendor/phpexperts/dockerize/install.php
docker-compose up -d

Via GitHub (Zero PHP dependencies)

From inside your project's directory:

git clone https://github.com/PHPExpertsInc/dockerize-php.git
mkdir -p ./vendor/bin
cp -r dockerize-php/bin/* ./vendor/bin/
chmod 0755 ./vendor/bin/composer ./vendor/bin/php
./vendor/bin/php install.php
docker-compose up -d

Don't forget to edit your docker-compose.yml!

Configure your PATH

In order to dockerize your existing PHP project, do the following:

Ensure that your profile PATH includes ./vendor/bin and that it takes priority over any other directory that may include a php executable:

PATH=./vendor/bin:$PATH

Manage with docker-compose

To control the containers, use docker-compose.

# Downloads the images, creates and launches the containers.
docker-compose up -d
# View the logs
docker-compose logs -ft
# Stop the containers
docker-compose stop

That's it! You now have the latest LEPP (Linux, Nginx, PostgreSQL, PHP) stack or the latest LEMP (Linux, Nginx, MariaDB, PHP) stack.

User ID control

It is possible to control what UID the initial process (usually PHP) and/or PHP-FPM processes run as. The bin/php file already does this for the initial process.

This is important if you are mounting a volumes into the container, as the the UID of the initial process or PHP-FPM will likely need to match the volume to be able to read and/or write to it.

PHP-FPM process UID

To set the UID for the PHP-FPM process, you should set the PHP_FPM_USER_ID environmental variable on the container. e.g:

docker run -e PHP_FPM_USER_ID=1000 phpexperts/php:7 php-fpm5.6

php.ini directives

You can modify certain php.ini directives by setting environmental variables within the container. The following is a list of environmental variables and the php.ini directives that they correspond to:

environmental variable	php.ini directives
`PHP_POST_MAX_SIZE`	`post_max_size`
`PHP_UPLOAD_MAX_FILESIZE`	`upload_max_filesize`

e.g. the following will start a PHP container with the post_max_size to 30 Megabytes:

docker run -e PHP_POST_MAX_SIZE=30M phpexperts/php:7
