Quick docker compose setup for php and mysql

Posted on 08-Aug-2018

To create a basic PHP and MySQL setup with docker create a project with the following structure:

.
├── docker-compose.yml
└── www
    └── index.php

Write some code in your php code and then add the following content in docker-compose.yml file:

version: '3'
services:
  php:
    image: registry.gitlab.com/kisphp/ci-registry/php7.4:latest
    working_dir: /project
    volumes:
      - ./:/project
    networks:
      - default
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    links:
      - mysql
    command: "php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t /project/web"

  mysql:
    image: mysql:5.6
    ports:
      - "3306:3306"
    environment:
      MYSQL_DATABASE: kisphp
      MYSQL_USER: kisphp
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: kisphp
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: kisphp

Now, make sure you have docker daemon started and then run the following command:

docker-compose up

# you can run the command in background
docker-compose up -d

After docker compose finishes, you can access the project at url: http://localhost:8080
