Docker + Magento 2: Virtual Machine Tutorial

Develop Magento 2 locally on Docker. In this video, I share with you the recipe for a Magento 2 + Docker VM that runs quickly and reliably. In fact, this has been my exact setup for almost 3 years now. You can easily add different components to it to replicate your production environment.

About time someone laid out a bare bones Docker/Magento scenario and alleviated my concerns of persistent storage. I'm all game for Docker becoming part of my flow but there's so many concerns to alleviate first.. I don't even want to start until I know there's going to be a clear workflow long term for quick dev, deployment & continued maintenance of my site.

Hello,
That is very nice video that you have created

I have some queries
1. How to modify the files?
2. How to add new module?
3. How to access the Mysql?

Hi how can I add an already existing Magento 2 into this? I have my Magento 2 project setup in Vagrant but there are plenty of drawback when using vagrant and I know docker is way better than vagrant. So how do I migrate it correctly? Hope to get a reply from you. Thanks

I just finished installing but when I access the local server it gives me a 503. I can access phpmyadmin with no problems.

Service Temporarily Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

I installed with 7.4 changed ports to 8081 aside from that everything is the same with the guide. what could my problem be?

Great tutorial!

Can I ask what the top level "volumes: db-data: external: false" entry in your docker-compose.yml was for? I'm new to Docker, but as far as I know as long as you add the volume "volume: db-data:/var/lib/mysql" in the mysql service, shouldn't the "db-data/" directory be created in your working directory regardless?

I'm just confused because I want to change the "mysql: volumes:" entry from

"volumes:
- db-data:/var/lib/mysql"

to

"volumes:
-

and I'm wondering if this is going to impact the top level "volumes" entry in the docker-compose.yml file.

Also, does webdevops/php-apache-dev:7.2 work with this project so I can use Magento 2.3.x?

Thank you so much for sharing useful information. I have one question here. How can we add the existing database?

I am trying to install Magento 2.4 with all the same configs except upgraded to webdevops/php-apache-dev:7.4 from ubuntu-16.04 as 2.4 requires recent version of PHP. And using the same MariaDb image from the tutorial.

I am able to access phpmyadmin in browser. However upon running set up, I get this:

"Current version of RDBMS is not supported. Used Version: 10.5.4-MariaDB-1:1
0.5.4+maria~focal. Supported versions: MySQL-8, MySQL-5.7, MariaDB-(10.2-10
.4) "

And when I explicitly state version for mariaDb to 10.2 or 10.4 in docker-compose.yml, I am not able to access phpmyadmin after build (docker-compose up -d --build ) succeeds.

Anything I maybe missing?

can i ask you how is the sync with the vendor folder ? As this folder is quite huge... did you encountered some issue with the sync... ?

[gnaniboy]

Is there a way to connect to the magento files (do changes) by using an SFTP client that would connect via SSH?

2.2.3 requires php 7.0.2|7.0.4|~7.0.6|~7.1.0 -> your PHP version (7.3.6) does not satisfy that requirement.


How to get it to launch with a different php version (from a docker image?)?

[getsykot]

Doesn't work for latest version of Magento (Magento v2.3.0 supports PHP v7.1.3+). comes with PHP v7.0. Any help?

After executing the last command to install the project, I am stuck with this error:
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2006] MySQL server has gone away
In InstallCommand.php line 264:
Parameter validation failed
Any idea how to fix this ? Thnx

this will be so much better if every command was runnable on windows too

[adisuns]

do we need to install php to run composer? php 7.1.x?

[adisuns]

I followed the steps but my localhost is not getting connected. docker setup is perfect as per steps. Also did host file entry. but still cant hit to localhost.
