docker-cakephp

Just a little Docker POC in order to have a complete stack for running CakePHP into Docker containers using docker-compose tool. It is recommended to utilize this stack with database sessions, so your sessions can be persisted across all running instances of your application.

Contributing

Please see Contributing for instructions on contributing to this repository.

Features

• Ubuntu 16.04
• PHP 7.0
• Ability to clone repository into docker container upon startup
• Ability to separate CakePHP application into stand-alone container/image to ease infrastructure/code updates (Example: https://github.com/Dynamictivity/docker-cakephp-example)

unzip
php
php-sqlite3
php-pear

wget

Todo

• Get database sessions working (currently it always creates the data field of the sessions table as binary(255) no-matter what)
• Suggestions?

Installation

First, clone this repository:

$ git clone [email protected]:Dynamictivity/docker-cakephp.git

Next, edit the docker-compose.yml file and change the REPO: value to the URL of your application's GIT repository.

Finally (required only for SSH GIT repositories), edit php-fpm/id_rsa file and put your GIT deployment (private key) in there so that the docker container can access your private GIT repository. If you are using GIT via SSH you'll also want to change the REPO_HOST: value to the FQDN of your GIT server host, that way the host key can be automatically accepted.

Then, run:

$ docker-compose up

You are done, you can visit your CakePHP application on the following URL: http://localhost

Note : you can rebuild all Docker images by running:

$ docker-compose build

Custom Application Configuration

Database Migrations and Seeds

When the container spins up it runs the following 2 commands (aside from composer install):

$ cd /www; bin/cake migrations migrate
$ cd /www; bin/cake migrations seed --seed $DB_SEED

You can specify the database seed file inside of docker-compose.yml by changing the DB_SEED: value to that of your database seed file.

E-Mail Configuration

Change the following variables in docker-compose.yml to configure email in your application:

EMAIL_HOST: 'localhost'
EMAIL_PORT: '25'
EMAIL_TIMEOUT: '30'
EMAIL_USERNAME: 'user'
EMAIL_PASSWORD: 'secret'
EMAIL_TLS:

Vagrant

You can also use vagrant for testing by typing the following command from the work tree: vagrant up

Run the following commands:

$ cd /vagrant
$ docker-compose up

How it works?

Here are the docker-compose built images:

• db: This is the MySQL database container (can be changed to postgresql or whatever in docker-compose.yml file)
• nginx: This is the Nginx webserver container in which php volumes are mounted to
• php: This is the PHP-FPM container including the application volume mounted on

This results in the following running containers:

> $ docker-compose ps
        Name                      Command               State              Ports
        -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        docker_db_1            /entrypoint.sh mysqld            Up      0.0.0.0:3306->3306/tcp
        docker_nginx_1         nginx                            Up      443/tcp, 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp
        docker_php_1           php5-fpm -F                      Up      9000/tcp

Read logs

You can access Nginx and CakePHP application logs in the following directories on your host machine:

• logs/nginx
• logs/cakephp
