This configuration includes
- An
appservice using thewayofdev/php-devimage for PHP processing. - A
webservice using a custom Nginx image for serving the application. - Network configuration for both default and shared networks.
- Volume mounts for application code, assets, and configuration files.
- Environment variables for PHP and Xdebug configuration.
- Traefik labels for reverse proxy and SSL termination.
Real-world Example
For a comprehensive, real-world example of how to use this image in a Docker Compose setup, please refer to the wayofdev/laravel-starter-tpl repository. This template provides a fully configured development environment for Laravel projects using the wayofdev/php-dev image.
โ๏ธ Configuration
The Nginx image is pre-configured for optimal performance with PHP applications, but you can customize it further to suit your specific needs.
โ Default Configuration
The default configuration is generated using Ansible templates and includes:
- Optimized settings for PHP-FPM
- SSL/TLS support with self-signed certificates
- Gzip compression enabled
- Basic security headers
โ Custom Configuration
While the configuration is primarily managed through Ansible templates, you can override specific settings:
-
Environment Variables: The image uses the following environment variables:
Variable Default Value Description PHP_UPSTREAM_CONTAINER app The name of the PHP-FPM container PHP_UPSTREAM_PORT 9000 The port of the PHP-FPM container Set these in your
docker-compose.ymlfile:services: web: image: wayofdev/nginx:k8s-alpine-latest environment: - PHP_UPSTREAM_CONTAINER=my-php-app - PHP_UPSTREAM_PORT=9001 -
Volume Mounts: For more extensive customizations, you can mount your own config files:
services: web: image: wayofdev/nginx:k8s-alpine-latest volumes: - ./custom-nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf - ./custom-default.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
โ SSL Configuration
The image includes self-signed SSL certificates. To use your own:
services:
web:
image: wayofdev/nginx:k8s-alpine-latest
volumes:
- ./certs/cert.pem:/etc/nginx/ssl/cert.pem
- ./certs/key.pem:/etc/nginx/ssl/key.pem
โ Advanced Configuration
For more advanced configurations:
- Fork this repository
- Modify the Ansible templates in the
srcdirectory - Regenerate the Dockerfiles using
make generate - Build your custom image
๐จ Development
This project uses a set of tools for development and testing. The Makefile provides various commands to streamline the development process.
โ Requirements
- Docker
- Make
- Ansible
- goss and dgoss for testing
โ Setting Up the Development Environment
Clone the repository:
git clone git@github.com:wayofdev/docker-nginx.git && \
cd docker-nginx
โ Generating Dockerfiles
Ansible is used to generate Dockerfiles and configurations. To generate distributable Dockerfiles from Jinja template source code:
make generate
โ Building Images
-
Build the default image:
make buildThis command builds the image specified by the
IMAGE_TEMPLATEvariable in the Makefile. By default, it's set tok8s-alpine. -
Build a specific image:
make build IMAGE_TEMPLATE="k8s-alpine"Replace
8.3-fpm-alpinewith your desired PHP version, type, and OS. -
Build all images:
make build IMAGE_TEMPLATE="k8s-alpine" make build IMAGE_TEMPLATE="dev-alpine"These commands will build all supported image variants.
๐งช Testing
This project uses a testing approach to ensure the quality and functionality of the Docker images. The primary testing tool is dgoss, which allows for testing Docker containers.
โ Running Tests
You can run tests using the following commands:
-
Test the default image:
make testThis command tests the image specified by the
IMAGE_TEMPLATEvariable in the Makefile (default isk8s-alpine). -
Test a specific image:
make test IMAGE_TEMPLATE="k8s-alpine"Replace
k8s-alpinewith your desired image type, and OS. -
Test all images:
make test IMAGE_TEMPLATE="k8s-alpine" make test IMAGE_TEMPLATE="dev-alpine"
โ Test Configuration
The test configurations are defined in goss.yaml files, which are generated for each image variant. These files specify the tests to be run, including:
- File existence and permissions
- Process checks
- Port availability
- Package installations
- Command outputs
โ Test Process
When you run the make test command, the following steps occur:
- The specified Docker image is built (if not already present).
- dgoss runs the tests defined in the
goss.yamlfile against the Docker container. - The test results are displayed in the console.
