Start the Devilbox

Congratulations, when you have reached this page everything has been set up and you can now get your hands dirty.

Note

Starting and stopping containers is done via docker-compose. If you have never worked with it before, have a look at their documentation for an overview, up and stop commands.

Start all container

If you want all provided services to be available (as defined in docker-compose.yml), just start them all via:

host> docker-compose up

• If you want to gracefully stop all container, hit Ctrl + c
• If you want to kill all container, hit Ctrl + c twice

Start some container

If you don't require all services to be up and running and let's say just PHP, HTTPD and MYSQL, enter the following command:

host> docker-compose up httpd php mysql

• If you want to gracefully stop all started container, hit Ctrl + c
• If you want to kill all started container, hit Ctrl + c twice

available_container Have a look at this page to get an overview about all available container and by what name they have to be specified.

Open Devilbox intranet

Once docker-compose up has finished and all or the selected container are up and running, you can visit the Devilbox intranet with your favorite Web browser at http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1.

The Intranet start page will also show you all running and failed containers:

Warning

docker_toolbox When you are using Docker Toolbox the Devilbox Web server port will not be available on your host computer. You have to forward the virtual machines port to your host computer. Read more about it on this guide.

Checklist

1. Docker container are started successfully with docker-compose up
2. Intranet is reachable via http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1
