Hello, Im quite new in Docker. I can’t connect xdebug on docker container to phpstorm ide. My PhpStorm is v 8.0.3 I spend a lot of time for searching how to solve with negative result. I’m pretty sure I tried everything I found and bit more solution.

Different xdebug.ini options Can You give me a tip how to solve it? Regards, Konrad ---

The problem is with Docker for Mac. All you need to do to get xdebug working is to use: `xdebug.remote_host=docker.for.mac.localhost` The issue is documented here: > **[Networking features in Docker for Mac](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/networking/#use-cases-and-workarounds)** > > Docker for Mac provides several networking features to make it easier to use. Features VPN Passthrough Docker for Mac’s networking can work when attached to a VPN. To do this,... My xdebug.ini is: ``` xdebug.remote_enable=1 xdebug.remote_connect_back=0 ; remote_host: ; You can use 172.17.0.1 if you don't use a Mac or when Docker/Apple fix the network problem. xdebug.remote_host=docker.for.mac.localhost ; remote_port: ; Yes, this can be the same port number as PHP-FPM uses to *listen* on - they are on different servers xdebug.remote_port=9000 ; idekey: ; Anything you want. Just make sure the same value is sent from the browser or CLI. xdebug.idekey=phpstorm zend_extension=/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20160303/xdebug.so ``` Good luck, Conor ---

For general info about configuring PHP and your IDE in a dockerized environment, have a look at this documentation: [https://devilbox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intermediate/configure-php-xdebug.html](https://devilbox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intermediate/configure-php-xdebug.html)
