This project provides a basic Docker setup, for building a local development environment for Zend Expressive, and other PHP, application development.
Why? Good question. But easy to answer. The intent is to provide a starting point for developers to get up and running quickly, using Docker, to build a local development environment. If you’d like much more background as to why, checkout this tutorial on Master Zend Framework. It lays out, much more comprehensively, the reasons why this is a good thing to do.
To get up and running, after cloning the repository:
-
Install Docker. If you’re running a Linux distribution, use its package manager. If you’re using either macOS or Windows, download the respective Docker package installers: Docker for Mac or Docker for Windows.
-
Add the cloned files to the root of a Zend Expressive (or other PHP) project.
-
In
docker/nginx/default.confchange the default document root setting,root /PATH/TO/YOUR/DOCUMENT/ROOT;, to suit your installation. More than likely, there will be apublic/directory in your source. So change the setting to beroot /var/www/html/public;. -
Build the configuration by running:
docker-compose up -d.
To check that the build is working, run docker-compose ps.
This should give you output similar to the below.

To check that the files are inside the container, run the following command, substituting dockerforlocaldevelopment to match your directory name:
docker exec -it dockerforlocaldevelopment_nginx_1 ls -lahrt /var/www/htmlSee the CONTRIBUTING file.
