phpfarm for docker
==================

This is a build file to create a [phpfarm](https://github.com/fpoirotte/phpfarm) setup. The resulting docker image will run Apache on different ports with different PHP versions accessed via FCGI. The different PHP CLI binaries are accessible as well.

Port | PHP Version | Binary
-----|-------------|-----------------------
8051 | 5.1.6       | php-5.1 (wheezy only)
8052 | 5.2.17      | php-5.2 (wheezy only)
8053 | 5.3.29      | php-5.3
8054 | 5.4.45      | php-5.4
8055 | 5.5.38      | php-5.5
8056 | 5.6.39      | php-5.6
8070 | 7.0.33      | php-7.0
8071 | 7.1.25      | php-7.1
8072 | 7.2.34      | php-7.2
8073 | 7.3.25      | php-7.3 (jessie only)
8074 | 7.4.13      | php-7.3 (jessie only)
8080 | 8.0.0       | php-8.0 (jessie only)
8000 | nightly     | php-x.x (currently unavailable)

There are two tags for this image: ``wheezy`` and ``jessie``, referring to the underlying Debian base system releases. Unless you need PHP 5.1 or 5.2 you should always use the ``jessie`` tag.

The ``wheezy`` image is deprecated and may not run on modern Linux kernels anymore! Booting your host system with `vsyscall=emulate` kernel parameter may help if you really need it.

The `nightly` build refers to the current `master` when the image was built. You probably want to rebuild the image yourself if you need to test against a very recent snapshot. See next section on how to do that.

Building the image
------------------

After cloning the git repository, simply run the following command:

docker build -t splitbrain/phpfarm:jessie -f Dockerfile-Jessie .
    docker build -t splitbrain/phpfarm:wheezy -f Dockerfile-Wheezy .

This will setup a Debian base system, install phpfarm, download and compile the different PHP versions, extensions and setup Apache. So, yes this will take a while. See the next section for a faster alternative.

On Kernel 4.19 there seems to be a [bug](https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-unionfs/msg06109.html). You need to disable the metacopy feature of the overlay filesystem to build the image. ``echo N > /sys/module/overlay/parameters/metacopy``

Downloading the image
---------------------

Simply downloading the ready made image from Docker Hub is probably the fastest way. Just run one of these:

docker pull splitbrain/phpfarm:jessie
    docker pull splitbrain/phpfarm:wheezy

Running the container
---------------------

The following will run the container and map all ports to their respective ports on the local machine. The current working directory (`$PWD`) will be used as the document root for the Apache server and the server itself will run with the same user id as your current user (`$UID`).

docker run --rm -t -i -e APACHE_UID=$UID -v $PWD:/var/www:rw \
      -p 8051:8051 -p 8052:8052 -p 8053:8053 -p 8054:8054 -p 8055:8055 \
      -p 8056:8056 -p 8070:8070 -p 8071:8071 -p 8072:8072 -p 8073:8073 \
      -p 8074:8074 -p 8080:8080 \
      splitbrain/phpfarm:jessie

You can access the Apache/PHP via localhost. Eg. `http://localhost:8073` for the PHP 7.3 version. The nightly build is available on port `8000`.

Above command will also remove the container again when the process is aborted with CTRL-C (thanks to the `--rm` option). While running, the Apache and PHP error log is shown on STDOUT.

An alternative is to not isolate the container's network at all from the local machine. This makes it possible for the container to access all the services you're running locally, eg. a database. It will also automatically make all the exposed ports available locally (but you can't remap them, so they need to be available, eg. not used by anything else). To do so use the `--network host` switch:

docker run --rm -t -i -e APACHE_UID=$UID -v $PWD:/var/www:rw \
       --network host splitbrain/phpfarm:jessie

You can also access the PHP binaries within the container directly. Refer to the table above for the correct names. The following command will run PHP 5.3 on your current working directory.

docker run --rm -t -i -v $PWD:/var/www:rw splitbrain/phpfarm:jessie php-5.3 --version

Alternatively you can also run an interactive shell inside the container with your current working directory mounted.

docker run --rm -t -i -v $PWD:/var/www:rw splitbrain/phpfarm:jessie /bin/bash

Loading custom php.ini settings
-------------------------------

All PHP versions are compiled with the config-file-scan-dir pointing to ``/var/www/.php/``. When mounting your own project as a volume to ``/var/www/`` you can easily place custom ``.ini`` files in your project's ``.php/`` directory and they should be automatically be picked up by PHP.

XDebug debugging, profiling and tracing
---------------------------------------

XDebug is enabled in all of the PHP versions. It is preconfigured for immeadiate use.

Profiling and tracing can be triggered through the `XDEBUG_PROFILE` and `XDEBUG_TRACE` Post/Get/Ccookie setting - no special trigger value has been set, so any value will trigger. Output files are placed into the volume you mounted to `/var/www/` with an `xdebug.` prefix.

Remote debugging is triggered through the `XDEBUG_SESSION` cookie. It uses the `remote_connect_back` setting, so it expects a debugger on port `9000` (the default) on the IP that requested the page.

Of course you can always reconfigure xdebug through a custom ini file as described above.

Using the image for Testing in Gitlab-CI
----------------------------------------

[Gitlab-CI](https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-ci/) users can use this image to automate testing against different PHP versions. For detailed info refer to the gitlab-ci documentation.

Here's a simple ``.gitlab-ci.yml`` example using phpunit.

stages:
      - test

image: splitbrain/phpfarm:jessie

php-5.3:
      stage: test
      script:
        - wget https://phar.phpunit.de/phpunit-old.phar -O phpunit
        - php-5.3 phpunit --coverage-text --colors=never

php-5.4:
      stage: test
      script:
        - wget https://phar.phpunit.de/phpunit-old.phar -O phpunit
        - php-5.4 phpunit --coverage-text --colors=never

php-5.6:
      stage: test
      script:
        - wget https://phar.phpunit.de/phpunit.phar -O phpunit
        - php-5.6 phpunit --coverage-text --colors=never

php-7.0:
      stage: test
      script:
        - wget https://phar.phpunit.de/phpunit.phar -O phpunit
        - php-7.0 phpunit --coverage-text --colors=never

Supported PHP extensions
------------------------

Here's a list of the extensions available in each of the PHP versions available in the Jessie image. It should cover all the default extensions plus a few popular ones and xdebug for debugging.

Extension    | PHP 5.3 | PHP 5.4 | PHP 5.5 | PHP 5.6 | PHP 7.0 | PHP 7.1 | PHP 7.2 | PHP 7.3 | PHP 7.4 | PHP 8.0
