WP Nginx PHP MySQL WP CLI

Docker running Nginx, PHP-FPM, Composer, MySQL, PHPMyAdmin, WP CLI , Cron.

Overview

1. Install prerequisites

   Before installing project make sure the following prerequisites have been met.

2. Clone the project

   We’ll download the code from its repository on GitHub.

3. Configure Nginx With SSL Certificates [Optional]

   We'll generate and configure SSL certificate for nginx before running server.

4. Configure Xdebug [Optional]

   We'll configure Xdebug for IDE (PHPStorm or Netbeans).

5. Run the application

   By this point we’ll have all the project pieces in place.

6. Use Makefile [Optional]

   When developing, you can use Makefile for doing recurrent operations.

7. Use Docker Commands

   When running, you can use docker commands for doing recurrent operations.

Install prerequisites

All requisites should be available for your distribution. The most important are :

• Git
• Docker
• Docker Compose

Check if docker-compose is already installed by entering the following command :

which docker-compose

Check Docker Compose compatibility :

• Compose file version 3 reference

The following is optional but makes life more enjoyable :

which make

On Ubuntu and Debian these are available in the meta-package build-essential. On other distributions, you may need to install the GNU C++ compiler separately.

sudo apt install build-essential

Images to use

• Nginx
• MySQL
• PHP-FPM
• Composer
• PHPMyAdmin
• Generate Certificate

You should be careful when installing third party web servers such as MySQL or Nginx.

This project use the following ports :

Server	Port
MySQL	8989
PHPMyAdmin	8080
Nginx	8000
Nginx SSL	3000

Clone the project

To install Git, download it and install following the instructions :

git clone [email protected]:Aharonyan/wp-docker-nginx-php-mysql.git

Go to the project directory :

cd docker-nginx-php-mysql

Configure Nginx With SSL Certificates

You can change the host name by editing the .env file.

If you modify the host name, do not forget to add it to the /etc/hosts file.

1. Generate SSL certificates (optional)

   source .env && sudo docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/etc/ssl:/certificates -e "SERVER=$NGINX_HOST" jacoelho/generate-certificate

2. Configure Nginx

   Do not modify the etc/nginx/default.conf file, it is overwritten by etc/nginx/default.template.conf

---

Configure Xdebug

If you use another IDE than PHPStorm or Netbeans, go to the remote debugging section of Xdebug documentation.

For a better integration of Docker to PHPStorm, use the documentation.

1. Get your own local IP address :

   sudo ifconfig

2. Edit php file etc/php/php.ini and comment or uncomment the configuration as needed.

3. Set the remote_host parameter with your IP :

   xdebug.remote_host=192.168.0.1 # your IP

---

Run the application

sudo only for linux users

1. Adding files to web/app/domain.name

2. Start the application from root folder:

   docker-compose up -d

   Please wait this might take a several minutes...

   sudo docker-compose logs -f # Follow log output

3. Open your favorite browser :

   • http://domain:8000
   • https://domain:3000 (HTTPS)
   • http://domain:8080 PHPMyAdmin (username: dev, password: dev)

4. Stop and clear services

   sudo docker-compose down -v

   this will delete stop and delete docker images

5. Start already created docker images

   sudo docker-compose start

6. Stop already created docker images

   sudo docker-compose stop

---

Use Makefile (only for linux)

When developing, you can use Makefile for doing the following operations :

Name	Description
apidoc	Generate documentation of API
clean	Clean directories for reset
code-sniff	Check the API with PHP Code Sniffer (PSR2)
composer-up	Update PHP dependencies with composer
docker-start	Create and start containers
docker-stop	Stop and clear all services
gen-certs	Generate SSL certificates for nginx
logs	Follow log output
mysql-dump	Create backup of all databases
mysql-restore	Restore backup of all databases
phpmd	Analyse the API with PHP Mess Detector
test	Test application with phpunit

Examples

Start the application :

sudo make docker-start

Show help :

make help

Use Docker commands

Installing package with composer

sudo docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/web/app:/app composer require symfony/yaml

Updating PHP dependencies with composer

sudo docker run --rm -v $(pwd)/web/app:/app composer update

PHP shell access

sudo docker exec -it www-php-wp_cli bash

Generating PHP API documentation

sudo docker-compose exec -T php php -d memory_limit=256M -d xdebug.profiler_enable=0 ./app/vendor/bin/apigen generate app/src --destination ./app/doc

Testing PHP application with PHPUnit

sudo docker-compose exec -T php ./app/vendor/bin/phpunit --colors=always --configuration ./app

Fixing standard code with PSR2

sudo docker-compose exec -T php ./app/vendor/bin/phpcbf -v --standard=PSR2 ./app/src

Checking the standard code with PSR2

sudo docker-compose exec -T php ./app/vendor/bin/phpcs -v --standard=PSR2 ./app/src

Analyzing source code with PHP Mess Detector

sudo docker-compose exec -T php ./app/vendor/bin/phpmd ./app/src text cleancode,codesize,controversial,design,naming,unusedcode

Checking installed PHP extensions

sudo docker-compose exec php php -m

Handling database

MySQL shell access

sudo docker exec -it www-mysql bash

and

mysql -u"$MYSQL_ROOT_USER" -p"$MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD"

Creating a backup of all databases

mkdir -p data/db/dumps

source .env && sudo docker exec $(sudo docker-compose ps -q mysqldb) mysqldump --all-databases -u"$MYSQL_ROOT_USER" -p"$MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD" > "data/db/dumps/db.sql"

Restoring a backup of all databases

source .env && sudo docker exec -i $(sudo docker-compose ps -q mysqldb) mysql -u"$MYSQL_ROOT_USER" -p"$MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD" < "data/db/dumps/db.sql"

Creating a backup of single database

Notice: Replace "YOUR_DB_NAME" by your custom name.

source .env && sudo docker exec $(sudo docker-compose ps -q mysqldb) mysqldump -u"$MYSQL_ROOT_USER" -p"$MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD" --databases YOUR_DB_NAME > "data/db/dumps/YOUR_DB_NAME_dump.sql"

Restoring a backup of single database

source .env && sudo docker exec -i $(sudo docker-compose ps -q mysqldb) mysql -u"$MYSQL_ROOT_USER" -p"$MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD" < "data/db/dumps/YOUR_DB_NAME_dump.sql"

Connecting MySQL from PDO

<?php
    try {
        $dsn = 'mysql:host=mysql;dbname=test;charset=utf8;port=3306';
        $pdo = new PDO($dsn, 'dev', 'dev');
    } catch (PDOException $e) {
        echo $e->getMessage();
    }
?>
