——————————————————————–
Installing Docker
——————————————————————–
01. Log into the Linux host and run the following commands in a terminal window
# install prerequisites
sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common gnupg-agent -y
# add docker gpg key
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/$(awk -F’=’ ‘/^ID=/{ print $NF }’ /etc/os-release)/gpg | sudo apt-key add –
# add docker software repository
sudo add-apt-repository “deb [arch=$(dpkg –print-architecture)] https://download.docker.com/linux/$(awk -F’=’ ‘/^ID=/{ print $NF }’ /etc/os-release) $(lsb_release -cs) stable”
# install docker
sudo apt install docker-ce docker-compose containerd.io -y
# enable and start docker service
sudo systemctl enable docker && sudo systemctl start docker
# add the current user to the docker group
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
# reauthenticate for the new group membership to take effect
su – $USER

Setting Up the Development Environment
——————————————————————–
01. Continue with the following commands in a terminal window
# create working directories
mkdir ~/docker/apache2/www/html -p && mkdir ~/docker/apache2/{conf,php,ext} -p && mkdir ~/docker/mariadb -p
# extract apache conf container
docker run –rm php:apache tar -cC /etc/apache2 . | tar -xC ~/docker/apache2/conf
# extract php config from container
docker run –rm php:apache tar -cC /usr/local/etc/php . | tar -xC ~/docker/apache2/php
# extract php extensions from container
docker run –rm php:apache tar -cC /usr/local/lib/php/extensions . | tar -xC ~/docker/apache2/ext
# copy the production php.ini
cp ~/docker/apache2/php/php.ini-development ~/docker/apache2/php/php.ini
# enable mysqli php extension
sed -i “s/;extension=mysqli/extension=mysqli/” ~/docker/apache2/php/php.ini
# set owner of working directories
sudo chown “$USER”:”$USER” ~/docker -R
# run the mariadb docker container
docker run -d –name mariadb -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=’r00tp@$$’ -v ~/docker/mariadb:/var/lib/mysql -p 3306:3306 –restart unless-stopped mariadb:latest
# run the php:apache container
docker run -d –name www -v ~/docker/apache2/www:/var/www -v ~/docker/apache2/conf:/etc/apache2 -v ~/docker/apache2/php:/usr/local/etc/php -v ~/docker/apache2/ext:/usr/local/lib/php/extensions -p 8080:80 –restart unless-stopped php:apache
# install the mysqli extension
docker exec -it www docker-php-ext-install mysqli
# restart the apache2 container
docker restart www
# create simple phpinfo page
echo -e “≪?phpntphpinfo();n?≫” ≫ ~/docker/apache2/www/html/phpinfo.php
02. Open a web browser and navigate to http://DNSorIP/phpinfo.php
——————————————————————–
Adding phpMyAdmin (optional)
——————————————————————–
01. Continue with the following commands in a terminal window
# download phpmyadmin
wget -O /tmp/phpmyadmin.tar.gz https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/phpMyAdmin-latest-english.tar.gz
# create phpmyadmin directory
mkdir ~/docker/apache2/www/html/phpmyadmin -p
# extract downloaded phpmyadmin archive
tar xf /tmp/phpmyadmin.tar.gz –strip-components=1 -C ~/docker/apache2/www/html/phpmyadmin
# copy sample config file
cp ~/docker/apache2/www/html/phpmyadmin/config.sample.inc.php ~/docker/apache2/www/html/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
# generate a random string
# copy the output string to the clipboard
openssl rand -base64 16
# edit phpmyadmin config
nano ~/docker/apache2/www/html/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
02. Paste the generated string in the blowfish_secret value
03. Update the Server host from localhost to the Docker host’s DNS or IP
04. Press CTRL+O, Enter, CTRL+X to write the changes
05. In a new tab, navigate to http://DNSorIP/phpmyadmin
06. Login with the username root and the password r00tp@$$
