How to use this image.

With Command Line

For PHP projects run through the command line interface (CLI), you can do the following.

Create a Dockerfile in your PHP project

FROM louisbl/php:7.1-cli COPY . /usr/src/myapp WORKDIR /usr/src/myapp CMD [ "php", "./your-script.php" ]

Then, run the commands to build and run the Docker image:

docker build -t my-php-app . docker run -it --rm --name my-running-app my-php-app

With Apache

More commonly, you will probably want to run PHP in conjunction with Apache httpd. Conveniently, there's a version of the PHP container that's packaged with the Apache web server.

Create a Dockerfile in your PHP project

FROM louisbl/php:7.1-apache COPY src/ /var/www/html/

Where src/ is the directory containing all your php code. Then, run the commands to build and run the Docker image:

docker build -t my-php-app . docker run -it --rm --name my-running-app my-php-app

We recommend that you add a custom php.ini configuration. COPY it into /usr/local/etc/php by adding one more line to the Dockerfile above and running the same commands to build and run:

FROM louisbl/php:7.1-apache COPY config/php.ini /usr/local/etc/php COPY src/ /var/www/html/

Where src/ is the directory containing all your php code and config/ contains your php.ini file.

How to install more PHP extensions

We provide two convenient scripts named docker-php-ext-configure and docker-php-ext-install -j$(nproc), you can use them to easily install PHP extension.

For example, if you want to have a PHP-FPM image with iconv, mcrypt and gd extensions, you can inheriting the base image that you like, and write your own Dockerfile like this:

FROM louisbl/php:7.1-fpm
# Install modules
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
        libfreetype6-dev \
        libjpeg62-turbo-dev \
        libmcrypt-dev \
        libpng12-dev \
    && docker-php-ext-install -j$(nproc) iconv mcrypt \
    && docker-php-ext-configure gd --with-freetype-dir=/usr/include/ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/include/ \
    && docker-php-ext-install -j$(nproc) gd
CMD ["php-fpm"]

Remember, you must install dependencies for your extensions manually. If an extension needs custom configure arguments, you can use the docker-php-ext-configure script like this example.
