vhost-apache-php

Usage

Clone the http_config and/or https_config apache configs to create your virtual host settings as per standard conventions.

Make sure that you put all of your virtual hosts in separate webfolders in the /home/user/vhosts folder and point to them in the apache configs.

$ docker run -d -p 8080:80 \
    -v /home/user/http_config:/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf \
    -v /home/user/https_config:/etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf \
    -v /home/user/crypto:/etc/apache2/ssl \
    -v /home/user/crypto/private:/etc/apache2/ssl/private \
    -v /home/user/vhosts:/var/www \
    -e PHP_ERROR_REPORTING='E_ALL & ~E_STRICT' \

• -v [local path]:/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default maps the custom apache config to container's apache directory
• -v [local path]://etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl maps the custom SSL apache config to container's apache directory
• -v [local path]:/etc/apache2/ssl maps the containers ssl keys to your keystore, be sure to make sub folder for private
• -v [local path]:/var/www maps the container's webroot to a folder where you keep your webfiles
• -p [local port]:80 maps a local port to the container's HTTP port 80, alternatively you may map 443 if using TLS
• -e PHP_ERROR_REPORTING=[php error_reporting settings] sets the value of error_reporting in the php.ini files.

Access apache logs

Apache is configured to log both access and error log to STDOUT. So you can simply use docker logs to get the log output:

docker logs -f container-id
