PHP tools for easier docker based development

This is a simple docker image for running various PHP tools from the CLI / IDE.

TIPS

run docker as with current user not root (no more sudo)

• add current user to docker group sudo gpasswd -a `whoami` docker
• restart docker sudo service docker restart

Usage

Go to the root directory of your app and choose what to do

PHPUnit

docker run -it --rm -w /app -v $(pwd):/app docker-php-toolbox:latest /phpunit

Composer

docker run -it --rm -w /app -v $(pwd):/app docker-php-toolbox:latest /composer

Behat

docker run -it --rm -w /app -v $(pwd):/app docker-php-toolbox:latest / behat

Additional notes

Xdebug

XDebug is automatically running so don't worry about it !

scripts

One handy trick is to create a few run commands or alias for even easier use

i.e. ~/bin/phpunit

#!/bin/bash
docker run \
	-it \
	--rm \
	-v $(pwd):/app \
	-w /app \
	docker-php-toolbox:latest /phpunit $*

for the other tools, you could replace phpunit with composer or behat

version information

In order to allow easier switching of the various tools between PHP versions. We've tagged the PHP version as the image tag. Thus using docker-php-toolbox:latest will use the latest PHP stable, but docker-php-toolbox:5.4 will use 5.4 ;)

Usage with make

We also provide a Makefile which encapsulate and ease rights things, and so on for all this docker php utilities commands

So for example to run composer install in your project : make composer install
