Image container : vfac/deployer

Requirements

Two system dependencies are required :

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Installation

git clone git@github.com:vfalies/EnvDev.git

Create a .env file to define your configuration. An example is available with .env.dist file.

To install environment

make install

Usage

To start the environment, type the following command:

make servers

or

make start

Several containers are created from .env configuration:

Description	Container's name
Maildev hub mail	maildev
NodeJs	nodejs
Web server ( Apache or Nginx )	web
PHP container	php
Cache server	cache
Database server	db
Database admin tool	dbadmin

composer is available through php container:

docker exec php composer -v

node, npm are available through node container:

docker run --rm node node -v

docker run --rm node npm -v

To open default home page in browser

make homepage

Hosts

You can add your own hosts file for all your projects.

With NGinx

In conf/nginx/vhosts directory, all your yourhost.conf file. A default host file is available for example : /conf/nginx/vhosts/default.conf.

server {

    listen 80;
    server_name localhost;
    root /var/www/html;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;

    location ~* \.PHP$ {
        fastcgi_index   index.php;
        fastcgi_pass   php:9000;
        include         fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param   SCRIPT_FILENAME    $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    }

}

With Apache

In conf/apache/vhosts directory, all your yourhost.conf file. A default host file is available for example : /conf/apache/vhosts/default.conf.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/projects

    <Directory /var/www/html/projects>
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    <FilesMatch \.php$>
        SetHandler "proxy:fcgi://php:9000"
    </FilesMatch>
</VirtualHost>

SSL support

The SSL support is possible during development. To activate it on one of your vhosts, you must follow steps:

• Create the SSL self-signed certificate

you can use the command:

make certificate

• Add the activation of SSL in VHost file

On Nginx:

    listen 443 ssl;

    ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/envdev.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/envdev.key;

On Apache:

<VirtualHost *:80 *:443>
    ...

    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/apache2/conf/custom/envdev.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/apache2/conf/custom/envdev.key

    ...

where envdev is the name chosen during the step of the certificate creation.

Don't forget to restart web container to restart the web server

docker restart web

Tips: If you certificate is out of date, you can renew it with the command:

make renewal

Configuration

You can create .env file to manage applications and tools. An example is available with .env.dist file.

The following versions, paths and ports can be configured :

Description	Variable name	Possible values	Default
PHP Version	PHP_VERSION	7.0, 7.1, 7.2	7.2
Database type	DB	mariadb, mysql, mongodb	mysql
Cache server type	CACHE_SERVER	redis, memcached	redis
Projects Path	PROJECTS_PATH	any	/your/projects/directory/path
HTTP web port	WEB_PORT	any	80
HTTPS web port	WEBSSL_PORT	any	443
MailDev port	MAILDEV_PORT	any	1080
PHPMyAdmin port	PHPMYADMIN_PORT	any	9090
MongoExpress port	MONGOEXPRESS_PORT	any	8081
Cache server port	CACHE_PORT	any	6380

If you access to the url http://envdev.localhost a page summarizes all projets and propose access link to PHPMyAdmin, MailDev and PHPInfo.

Nginx configuration

Nginx configuration file is available at /conf/nginx/nginx.conf to custom the web server configuration.

Apache configuration

Apache configuration file is available at /conf/apache/httpd.conf to custom the web server configuration.
