Introduction.

You can use this project to;

• spin up a docker container using the docker-compose.yml file OR
• use the Dockerfile to create an image for your project and use the generated image in a Container service provider like Azure.

Using docker-compose option

There are two services.

• Nginx in webserver container
• Php in php container via php-fpm on port 9000

Install.

Simply execute,
docker-compose up -d --build php

Webserver

Webserver is running on port 8080. To access it provide below url on your browser url bar.
http://127.0.0.1:8080/info.php
This will show a page with the current php info of the server.

Nginx

Nginx default config is located at .docker/nginx/default.conf

Xdebug

Xdebug settings are at .docker/php/conf.d/xdebug.ini

Using Dockerfile option

Include any files, folder that should not be added into the final image using the .dockerignore file.

To build the image with a tag, use command:
docker build -t <name of your image> <path to the Dockerfile>

ex:
docker build -t php-nginx-docker-v1 -f Dockerfile . --progress=plain --no-cache

To check our images use;
docker images

An image becomes a container when we execute it, using:
docker run -d (or daemon) -p (to expose port 80 in the container to the port 80 on the host machine) <image id>

docker run -d drupal-docker

To view the site
docker run -p 80:80 -t drupal-docker

To ssh to docker
docker run --rm -it drupal-docker bash

To push to docker hub

1. Tag it
   docker tag <name of the image> <dockerhub username>/<name of your repo>:<version>

• ex:
  docker tag php-nginx-docker-v1 pasankg/drupal-on-docker:php-nginx-docker-v1

2. Push docker push <dockerhub username> / <image name>:<version name>

• ex:
  docker push pasankg/drupal-on-docker:php-nginx-docker-v1

Useful docker commands.

To clear docker cache
docker builder prune

To remove dangling images
docker images -f 'dangling=true' -q | xargs -r docker rmi -f
