Installation

• Install Docker 1.9+ or askubuntu
• Pull the latest version of the image.

docker pull romeoz/docker-nginx-php

or other versions (7.2, 7.1, 7.0, 5.6, 5.5, 5.4 or 5.3):

docker pull romeoz/docker-nginx-php:5.4

Alternately you can build the image yourself.

git clone https://github.com/romeoz/docker-nginx-php.git
cd docker-nginx-php
docker build -t="$USER/docker-nginx-php" .

Quick Start

Run the application container:

docker run --name app -d -p 8080:80 romeoz/docker-nginx-php

The simplest way to login to the app container is to use the docker exec command to attach a new process to the running container.

docker exec -it app bash

Development/Persistence

For development a volume should be mounted at /var/www/app/.

The updated run command looks like this.

docker run --name app -d -p 8080:80 \
  -v /host/to/path/app:/var/www/app/ \
  romeoz/docker-nginx-php

This will make the development.

Linked to other container

As an example, will link with RDBMS PostgreSQL.

docker network create pg_net

docker run --name db -d --net pg_net romeoz/docker-postgresql

Run the application container:

docker run --name app -d -p 8080:80 \
  --net pg_net \
  -v /host/to/path/app:/var/www/app/ \
  romeoz/docker-nginx-php

Adding PHP-extension

You can use one of two choices to install the required php-extensions:

1. docker exec -it app bash -c 'apt-get update && apt-get install php-mongo && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*'

2. Create your container on based the current. Сontents Dockerfile:

FROM romeoz/docker-nginx-php:5.6

RUN apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y php-mongo \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* 

WORKDIR /var/www/app/

EXPOSE 80 443

CMD ["/usr/bin/supervisord"]

Next step,

docker build -t php-5.6 .
docker run --name app -d -p 8080:80 php-5.6

See installed php-extension: docker exec -it app php -m

Logging

All the logs are forwarded to stdout and sterr. You have use the command docker logs.

docker logs app

####Split the logs

You can then simply split the stdout & stderr of the container by piping the separate streams and send them to files:

docker logs app > stdout.log 2>stderr.log
cat stdout.log
cat stderr.log

or split stdout and error to host stdout:

docker logs app > -
docker logs app 2> -

####Rotate logs

Create the file /etc/logrotate.d/docker-containers with the following text inside:

/var/lib/docker/containers/*/*.log {
    rotate 31
    daily
    nocompress
    missingok
    notifempty
    copytruncate
}

Optionally, you can replace nocompress to compress and change the number of days.
