This repository provides a simple template to run a PHP and MySQL application using Docker. Ideal for beginners or developers who need a fast, isolated, and consistent development environment.

• Isolation: Avoid PHP/MySQL version conflicts on your host system.
• Portability: Works across multiple operating systems without reconfiguration.
• Quick Deployment: Set up your development environment with a single command.
• Scalability: Easily extendable for production use.

• Download Docker Desktop:
  👉 Download Docker
• User Guide:
  👉 Docker Documentation
• Windows Users:
  Make sure WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) is enabled.

This repository contains basic configuration for running a PHP and MySQL application using Docker.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/albertdveada/Tutorial-Docker-PHP-MySQL.git
   

2. Enter the project directory:

   cd Tutorial-Docker-PHP-MySQL
   

3. Start Docker Compose: Run Docker Compose to start the containers in the background.

   docker-compose up -d
   

4. Access the Application in Your Browser:

   Once the containers are up, you can access the services at:

   • 🔗 Open PHP App (localhost:8080)

   • 🔗 Open phpMyAdmin (localhost:8181)

     💡 phpMyAdmin Default Login:

     • Server: database
     • Username: root
     • Password: root_password

Use the following commands to manage your Docker container lifecycle:

• Stop containers:

  docker-compose stop

• Restart containers:

  docker-compose start

• Remove containers, networks, volumes (for reset):

  docker-compose down -v
  

• MySQL 8.1+: Uses caching_sha2_password, by default. no additional config needed.

• MySQL 8.0 or earlier: Use mysql_native_password. Uncomment the following line in docker-compose.yml:

  command: --default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password

🔎 Quick Overview:

• docker-compose.yml: Defines all services (PHP, MySQL, phpMyAdmin).
• index.php: Example PHP app you can test in the browser.
• README.md: Full setup and usage guide for this project.

💡 You can add folders like src/, config/, or public/ as your project grows.

Make sure your configuration matches the MySQL version you’re using. For more help, refer to the official Docker or MySQL documentation. Hope this tutorial helps! 😊
