README

This is a docker image to run PHP applications on Apache, based on tutum/apache-php, including SSL and PHP5 support.

In order to use this image effectively, you'll need to mount (create volumes):

• /var/www for your site content (e.g. using "-v /var/sites/mysite/:/var/www/")
• /var/log/apache2, optionally, if you want to store logfiles visibly outside the container
• /etc/ssl, optionally, if you wish to use SSL with real keys

Some Examples

Assuming you have your content at /var/sites/mysite/, the below will be sufficient to serve it. Note that many Docker users encourage mounting data from a storage container, rather than directly from the filesystem.

• "It works!": docker run -p 80:80 -d ergin/apache2-php5 and browse to the host's IP address using http.
• If you app uses .htaccess files you need to pass the ALLOW_OVERRIDE environment variable.
• ... htaccess support: docker -p 80:80 -v /var/sites/mysite/:/var/www/ -d -e ALLOW_OVERRIDE=true ergin/apache2-php5
• Serving actual content with SSL support: docker run -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v /var/sites/mysite/:/var/www/ -d ergin/apache2-php5
• ... without SSL support: docker -p 80:80 -v /var/sites/mysite/:/var/www/ -d ergin/apache2-php5
• ... using non-standard ports: docker -p 8080:80 -p 8443:443 -v /var/sites/mysite/:/var/www/ -d ergin/apache2-php5
• Working with MySQL, Memcached and ALLOW_OVERRIDE option set as true:
• ... docker run --name erginbulut.com --link mysql-container:mysql-container --link memcached-container:memcached-container -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v /var/sites/mysite/:/var/www/ -d -e ALLOW_OVERRIDE=true ergin/apache2-php5

A note on SSL

As per the defaults, Apache will use the bundled "snakeoil" key when serving SSL. Obviously this isn't sufficient or advisable for production, so you'll want to mount your real keys onto /etc/ssl/. If you name them "certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem" and "private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key", you'll be able to get by with the default config. Otherwise, you'll want to include a revised site definition. If you don't want to use SSL, you can avoid forwarding port 443 when launching the container (see below).
