Local PHP Composer Runtime for Docker Toolbox

Description

This is a simple PowerShell function that wrappers a call to docker-machine ssh so you can call composer as if it was installed on your host locally. It's not 100% functional, since it's not interactive (eg.: composer init will create the composer.json file, but will not ask you to fill in the fields. You can overpass this by passing the arguments like in the composer documentation.)

Instalation

• Paste the contents of the file below into your PowerShell Profile. You haven't already, create one following these instructions.
• Change the $composerTmpDir variable to the path where composer will store its caching and configuration files.

Usage

Use it like you would normally use composer:

PS C:\Users\MyUser>cd my-project
PS C:\Users\MyUser\my-project> composer install

That's it!

Fell free to leave any suggestions in the comments bellow or to fork it.

    $path           = $pwd -replace "^C:\\", "/c/" -replace "\\", "/"
    $tmpPath        = $composerTmpDir -replace "^C:\\", "/c/" -replace "\\", "/"

    $composerArgs = $args -join " "
    $command      = "docker run --interactive --user `$(id -u):`$(id -g) --rm -v '$path':/app -v '$tmpPath':/tmp composer $composerArgs"
    docker-machine ssh default $command
}
