#PHP #Development #Docker

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing Docker
--------------------------------------------------------------------
   01. Log into the Linux host and run the following commands in a terminal window
         # install prerequisites
         sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common gnupg-agent -y
         # add docker gpg key
         # add docker software repository
         # install docker
         # enable and start docker service
         sudo systemctl enable docker && sudo systemctl start docker
         # add the current user to the docker group
         sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
         # reauthenticate for the new group membership to take effect
         su - $USER
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Setting Up the Development Environment
--------------------------------------------------------------------
   01. Continue with the following commands in a terminal window
         # create working directories
         mkdir ~/docker/apache2/www/html -p && mkdir ~/docker/apache2/{conf,php,ext} -p && mkdir ~/docker/mariadb -p
         # extract apache conf container
         docker run --rm php:apache tar -cC /etc/apache2 . | tar -xC ~/docker/apache2/conf
         # extract php config from container
         docker run --rm php:apache tar -cC /usr/local/etc/php . | tar -xC ~/docker/apache2/php
         # extract php extensions from container
         docker run --rm php:apache tar -cC /usr/local/lib/php/extensions . | tar -xC ~/docker/apache2/ext
         # enable mysqli php extension
         # set owner of working directories
         sudo chown "$USER":"$USER" ~/docker -R
         # run the mariadb docker container
         docker run -d --name mariadb -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD='r00tp@$$' -v ~/docker/mariadb:/var/lib/mysql -p 3306:3306 --restart unless-stopped mariadb:latest
         # run the php:apache container
         docker run -d --name www -v ~/docker/apache2/www:/var/www -v ~/docker/apache2/conf:/etc/apache2 -v ~/docker/apache2/php:/usr/local/etc/php -v ~/docker/apache2/ext:/usr/local/lib/php/extensions -p 8080:80 --restart unless-stopped php:apache
         # install the mysqli extension
         docker exec -it www docker-php-ext-install mysqli
         # restart the apache2 container
         docker restart www
         # create simple phpinfo page
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Adding phpMyAdmin (optional)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
   01. Continue with the following commands in a terminal window
         # download phpmyadmin
         # create phpmyadmin directory
         mkdir ~/docker/apache2/www/html/phpmyadmin -p
         # extract downloaded phpmyadmin archive
         # copy sample config file
         # generate a random string
         # copy the output string to the clipboard
         openssl rand -base64 16
         # edit phpmyadmin config
   02. Paste the generated string in the blowfish_secret value
   03. Update the Server host from localhost to the Docker host's DNS or IP
   04. Press CTRL+O, Enter, CTRL+X to write the changes
   06. Login with the username root and the password r00tp@$$
