Adam Culp:
Easy Docker dev environments for PHP with CloudEstuary
Apr 17, 2017 @ 20:14:09

Adam Culp has written up a new post to his site showing you how to use the CloudEstuary service to easily create Docker development environments for your day to day work.

Lately I’ve been messing around with Docker, and specifically with containerizing PHP applications to perform quick services, such as static analysis of PHP code, compatibility of existing PHP code to specific versions of PHP, and performing security checks on PHP libraries included in my projects. However, I’ve not created a development environment for my projects using Docker.

[...] But today I found another way [besides using Vagrant]. A way to easily create PHP development environments with Docker. The fine folks at CloudEstuary have created an easy to use web-based tool to create PHP development environments (yml files) for use with Docker-compose.

He then walks you through the process of creating a new environment, selecting the framework to be installed by default and other "add-ons" to be include (it also allows for the addition of workers). After clicking on the "Generate Docker Compose" button the service spits out the YAML configuration file you can then use to create the environment. There's a few tweaks he recommends making to the config and, finally, the command to use the configuration and bring the environment up.
