Golem
=====

[](#golem)

**Long story short**: I got a pretty damn good name for an app and I need something to build around it. *No clue*. So I decided to make yet another Docker bootstrap for PHP. Just to have a running environment with PHP, apache and mysql in a few commands. I usually do this when I need to do some small stuff, playgrounds, package testing, that needs a fast boostrap.

Since is a Composer plugin, it can be used on existing projects as long as these files and directories does not exist:

- `./Makefile`
- `./docker-compose.yml`
- `./build/docker`

It will fail otherwise.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Is a Composer plugin, so just require it in your project.

```
composer require --dev utnaf/golem
```

### What I have?

[](#what-i-have)

You have:

- `php:7.3-apache` Docker image with a virtual host configured on
- latest Composer version
- `mariadb:10.3` Docker image
- a `Makefile` to easily handle your docker images

### How do I make it work?

[](#how-do-i-make-it-work)

Just run:

```
$ make up
```

Now you can visit  or add an entry to your `/etc/hosts` file:

```
127.0.0.1 app.local

```

and then visit

#### Note for docker-machine user

[](#note-for-docker-machine-user)

If you are using any kind of docker-machine please replace `127.0.0.1` with the IP of your docker-machine.

Connect to the DB
-----------------

[](#connect-to-the-db)

Your DB host will be named `_database`, the database itself is `_db`, username and password can be found in the `docker-compose.yml`.

Ex: if your project is in the directory `my-awesome-project` the db hostname will be `myawesomeproject_database` and the DB `myawesomeproject_db`.

Makefile
========

[](#makefile)

There is a Makefile that allows you to easily interact with the docker container.

```
$ make up
$ make kill
$ make build
$ make reset
$ make composer [command]
$ make sh
```

### Disclaimer

[](#disclaimer)

I'm not an expert in Docker, but this is working good for me. In any case please feel free to contribute in improving this if you feel the need by [writing an issue](https://github.com/utnaf/golem/issues/new). Any help or comment is highly appreciated.
