SilverStripe 4 docker development environment
=============================================

[](#silverstripe-4-docker-development-environment)

Docker based development environment for SilverStripe 4 applications Can be used on multiple environments at the same time.

Maintainer Contact
------------------

[](#maintainer-contact)

- Brett Tasker

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/)

Install
-------

[](#install)

To install globally run:

`composer global require brettt89/ss4-docker-compose`

Make sure your `~/.composer/vendor/bin` directory is in your PATH.

`echo 'export PATH=$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin/'  >> ~/.bash_profile`

Then you can run this script with `docker-ss ` in your project root.

How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

`docker-ss` in a nutshell is basically a wrapper for `docker-compose` with some added functionality and checks. all `docker-compose` commands should run as expected via `docker-ss`

### Environment file

[](#environment-file)

Ensure you have an environment file setup in your project root with the following settings.

```
# DB credentials
SS_DATABASE_CLASS = "MySQLPDODatabase"
SS_DATABASE_SERVER = "database"
SS_DATABASE_USERNAME = "root"
SS_DATABASE_PASSWORD = ""
SS_DATABASE_NAME = "SS_mysite"

```

### Start services

[](#start-services)

```
docker-ss up -d
```

By default, this setup will create 2 containers per project and 1 global nginx proxy (ss-proxy).

Containers:

- **web** (web server)
    - Hostname: `{folder_name}.local`
- **database** (database server)
    - Hostname: `{folder_name}.db.local`

NOTE: In order to access the servers by hostname you will need to map these domains to your "Hosts" IP.

E.g. File: `/etc/hosts`, (`{folder_name} = "./ss4"`)

```
127.0.0.1	ss4.local ss4.db.local

```

### Advanced usage

[](#advanced-usage)

The docker-compose executable included in this package does some additional checks and configuration with commands. This should always be used over the native docker-compose function.

However all docker-compose commands can be used via this package as per usual.

#### Running dev/build.

[](#running-devbuild)

```
docker-ss exec web ./framework/sake dev/build
```

#### SSH into web server (Bash terminal).

[](#ssh-into-web-server-bash-terminal)

```
docker-ss ssh
```

#### Accessing database from client

[](#accessing-database-from-client)

```
Host: {folder_name}.db.local
Port: 3306
Database: SS_mysite
Username: root
Password:

```
