DAMP - Docker Apache MySQL PHP setup

DAMP - Setup an Apache, MySQL & PHP local server using Docker

Prerequisites

Setup

  1. Create a new directory for your local server (MY_APP is used as a placeholder)
  2. Add docker-compose.yml, Dockerfile and nginx.conf files to the root of your server directory.
  3. With your favorite terminal application:
    1. cd /path/to/MY_APP (replace /path/to/MY_APP with the path to your local server directory created above.
    2. docker-compose up -d
  4. Open http://localhost:8000 with your favorite browser and start developing.

Reverse Proxy

  1. (Optional) In the nginx.conf file, replace my-app.local with the desired virtual hostname.

    If you choose to use a different hostname, then replace all mentions of my-app.local with your choosen hostname.

  2. Add 127.0.0.1 my-app.local to your hosts file hosts file (how to modify your hosts file - guide)

  3. Start the container docker-compose up -d.

  4. Open http://my-app.local

Actually it's not Apache but nginx. It's a bit weird to use php-apache docker image overloaded with the nginx web server.

It's weird, but it is an Apache server overloaded with nginx.
Though it was 3 years ago, so I'm unsure why I did it that way.

on the docker-compose.yml file I added these lines... (it doesn't work without it)

volumes:
db-data: {}

after that, I can access to db panel on http://my-app.local:8080 but the web server doesn't seem to work fine (http://my-app.local it's not available). What is the path where the index document is searched? I put the index in the MY_APP folder and also in /var/www/html on my laptop but it doesn't work (I set the hosts file and stopped and started docker up after that, but it doesn't work)

cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 my-app.local

can you help me? thank you in advance

volumes:
db-data: {}

I've tested it and its doesn't work without volumes declaration :
ERROR: Named volume "db-data:/var/lib/mysql:rw" is used in service "db" but no declaration was found in the volumes section.
We should add volumes as you mentioned and thanks.
