Using multiple Docker containers

General
1

Hi,

This is my first time using Docker. I am trying to setup a development environment using Docker rather than just installing what I need one at a time in a VM.

I need Apache, mySQL, PHP, and Laravel. I found official images for Apache mySQL, and PHP. How can I make them work together so I can develop my Web App? Is there a way to install Laravel to work with the other containers and each other?

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 I have docker-ce and docker-compose installed.

TIA

Scott

Hi Scott,

If you are starting out, I can only advise you Brett Fisher’s Docker Mastery course available at :https://www.udemy.com/docker-mastery/learn/v4/overview

If you prefer free guides, there is the official documentation at https://docs.docker.com/get-started/

I don’t know “Laravel”, but I imagine you can have Apache+PHP on one container, and MySQL on another container on the same bridge network.

Regards,
Guillaume
