Nginx + Php-fpm + Apache + MySQL + NodeJS + phpMyAdmin with Docker-Compose

Initial configuration to install a web environment with the following images:

• nginx: it will be running as a reverse-proxy for Apache; the static data (images, texts, js scripts, etc) will be returned by nginx itself
• Php-fpm 7.2: it will install composer and try to run it with composer install
• Apache (httpd): it will be proxying the requests to PHP-FPM
• MySQL 8: default access credentials are defined in .env file incl. the root password
• NodeJS: will try to run npm run dev or npm run dev depending on the settings defined in .env file
• phpMyAdmin: it will be available on the port 5426, e.g. http://localhost:5426

Prerequisites

Please make sure docker & docker-compose are installed on the target machine.

If you are not sure, please run the following command (Ubuntu):

sudo apt-get install docker docker-compose -y

Initial Settings

Navigate to the root directory and open .env file for editing:

# App Settings
APP_NAME=docker
APP_PATH=./app
# To launch the app in dev environment just remove prod
APP_ENV=prod

Run Docker-Compose

To build the images and run the configuration please navigate to the root directory and run the following command

docker-compose up -d --build

Remove option -d if you don't want to run it in the detached mode.

If the images are already built just run the following command

docker-compose up -d

Docker Management

Start Docker containers

When the containers are built you can start the containers by using the following command

docker-compose up OR docker-compose up -d for the detached mode.

Stop Docker containers

To stop Docker containers you can use the following command

docker-compose down

Log in to Containers

To log in to the container you can use one of the following commands

• NGINX: docker-compose exec web sh

• PHP: docker-compose exec php sh

• APACHE: docker-compose exec apache sh

• MYSQL: docker-compose exec db sh

• NODEJS: docker-compose exec nodejs sh

• PHPMYADMIN: docker-compose exec phpmyadmin sh

Troubleshooting

• Docker can't run the container on the default port 80: Please check if there is no other app which uses the same port on your machine. You can also change the default port for nginx in the file docker-compose.yml.
• Can't log in to php container: Please check all running Docker processes by using the following command docker-compose ps. Check if you are using the correct name.
