The devilbox

Usage | Features | Documentation | Intranet | Screenshots | Contributing | Logos | License

The devilbox is a modern and highly customisable dockerized PHP stack supporting full LAMP and MEAN and running on all major platforms. The main goal is to easily switch and combine any version required for local development. It supports an unlimited number of projects for which vhosts and DNS records are created automatically. Email catch-all and popular development tools will be at your service as well. Configuration is not necessary, as everything is pre-setup with mass virtual hosting.

Usage

Quick start

You are up and running in four simple steps:

# Get the devilbox
$ git clone https://github.com/cytopia/devilbox
$ cd devilbox

# Create docker-compose environment file
$ cp env-example .env

# Edit your configuration
$ vim .env

# Start all containers
$ docker-compose up

Selective start

The above will start all containers, you can however also just start the containers you actually need. This is achieved by simply specifying them in the docker-compose command.

$ docker-compose up httpd php mysql redis

Run different versions

Every single attachable container comes with many different versions. In order to select the desired version for a container, simply edit the .env file and uncomment the version of choice. Any combination is possible.

Apache	Nginx	PHP	MySQL	MariaDB	Percona	PgSQL	Redis	Memcached	MongoDB
2.2	stable	5.4	5.5	5.5	5.5	9.1	2.8	1.4.21	2.8
2.4	mainline	5.5	5.6	10.0	5.6	9.2	3.0	1.4.22	3.0
		5.6	5.7	10.1	5.7	9.3	3.2	1.4.23	3.2
		7.0	8.0	10.2		9.4	4.0	1.4.24	3.4
		7.1		10.3		9.5		...	3.5
		7.2				9.6		1.5.2
		HHVM				10.0		latest

Enter the container

You can also work directly inside the php container. Simply use the bundled scripts shell.sh. The PS1 will automatically be populated with current chosen php version.

# Enter as user devilbox (normal operation / development)
host> ./shell.sh
devilbox@php-7.0.19 in /shared/httpd $

# Enter as root user (do root stuff)
host> ./shell.sh
devilbox@php-7.0.19 in /shared/httpd $ sudo su -
root@php-7.0.19 in /shared/httpd $

Your projects can be found in /shared/httpd. DNS records are automatically available inside the php container. Also every other service will be available on 127.0.0.1 inside the php container (tricky socat port-forwarding).

Quick Video intro

Feature overview

The devilbox has everything setup for you. The only thing you will have to install is docker and docker-compose. Virtual hosts and DNS entries will be created automatically, just by adding new project folders.

Features

⭐ Auto virtual hosts	New virtual hosts are created automatically and instantly whenever you add a project directory. This is done internally via vhost-gen and watcherd.
⭐ Unlimited vhosts	Run as many projects as you need with a single instance of the devilbox.
⭐ Custom vhosts	You can overwrite and customise the default applied vhost configuration for every single vhost.
⭐ Custom domains	Choose whatever development domain you desire: *.loc, *.local, *.dev or use real domains as well: *.example.com
⭐ Auto DNS	An integraded BIND server is able to create DNS entries automatically for your chosen domains.
⭐ Custom PHP config	Overwrite any setting for PHP.
⭐ Custom PHP modules	Load custom PHP modules on the fly.
⭐ Email catch-all	All outgoing emails are catched and will be presented in the included intranet.
⭐ Self-validation	Projects and configuration options are validated and marked in the intranet.
⭐ Xdebug	Xdebug and a full blown PHP-FPM/HHVM server is ready to serve.
⭐ Many more	See Documentation for all available features.

Intranet overview

The devilbox comes with a pre-configured intranet on http://localhost. This can be explicitly disabled or password-protected. The intranet will not only show you, the chosen configuration, but also validate the status of the current configuration, such as if DNS records exists (on host and container), are directories properly set-up. Additionally it provides external tools to let you interact with databases and emails.

• Virtual Host overview (validates directories and DNS)
• Database overview (MySQL, PgSQL, Redis, Memcache, ...)
• Email overview
• Info pages (Httpd, MySQL, PgSQL, Redis, Memcache, ...)
• phpMyAdmin
• Adminer
• OpcacheGUI
