The devilbox

General Note:

Always check out the latest git tag. The master branch is experimental and likely to not work.

Note for OSX:

There is currently a huge annoyance with docker on OSX resulting in very slow file access, because of directory mounts. Read about the ticket here Docker Forums #8076.

Latest feature: PostgreSQL support...

The devilbox is a modern and highly customizable alternative for XAMPP. It is based on docker-compose with presets for all kinds of versions for webservers, database servers and php.

Configuration is not necessary, as everything is pre-setup with mass virtual hosting.

Supported operating systems

_{It might run on FreeBSD, but I don't know the status of docker-compose there.}

Usage

You are up and running in three simple steps:

# (optional) check out latest stable release
$ git checkout $(git describe --abbrev=0 --tags)

# Copy the example configuration file
$ cp env-example .env

# Edit your configuration
$ vim .env

# Start the dockers
$ docker-compose up

What is the .env file?

Virtual Host overview

This overview shows you all available virtual hosts and if they need additional configuration (on the host)

Virtual Hosts are considered valid if the following requirements are met (on the host system):

• htdocs folder/symlink exists in your project folder
• /etc/hosts has a valid DNS config for your host: 127.0.0.1 <project-folder>.loc)

Database overview

Contributors will be credited within the intranet and on the github page.
