docker-compose-lamp

sample lamp setup using Docker compose

includes php web server + app (phpmyadmin), mysql server and nginx server

usage:

docker-compose up

test:

• visit http://localhost:81/ and login with: myuser / mypass

• run: docker exec dockercomposelamp_mysql_1 ping -c2 nginx OR docker-compose exec mysql ping -c2 nginx

  pings nginx container from mysql, which you can see is not "linked" in docker-compose file.

notes

You can see in the docker-compose.yml file, only port exposed to host is nginx, which uses 81 to avoid collisions with existing http. Feel free to change config options and see how they work for you.

Nginx link is simply: proxy_pass http://php;

phpmyadmin used here "off-the-shelf" as an example app since it's a self-contained, well-known php app that you can also use to interact with the db. You would generally replace this with your own custom php app image based off php:5.6-apache (or similar).

NOTE: This is a simplified example designed for learning, not production. Use at your own peril.
