Run a PHP stack in Docker. It includes:

• PHP 5.6 FPM
• Nginx
• PostgreSQL
• MariaDB
• Memcached
• Redis

Install Docker and Compose

To start the stack, run docker-compose up -d.

To see the logs, run docker-compose logs -f

To stop the stack, run docker-compose stop

To run composer use the following command:

docker-compose exec --user 1000 phpfpm composer <command>

If you don't like typing, you can use the following alias.

alias composer='docker-compose exec --user 1000 phpfpm composer'

You should run this command within the project folder or a child.

If you have a local composer installed, the alias will probably override it.

To use PHP CLI use the following command:

docker-compose exec --user 1000 phpfpm php

If you don't like typing, you can use the following alias.

alias php='docker-compose exec --user 1000 phpfpm php'

You should run this command within the project folder or a child.

If you have a local php installed, the alias will probably override it.

NOTE:

The provided UID (1000 in this case) is the host UID. It must match the UID of the www-data user in the guest container. If both UIDs don't match, update the file docker/php56/Dockerfile, line 50 and replace the number 1000 with your own UID and GUI. You can find those numbers by running echo $(id -u $USER):$(id -g $USER)

NOTE 2:

These alias will only work within the project directory, and only if the stack is running.
