aLeaf

A website/framework built around leaf-php, containerised for convenience of differing PHP versions. If run on production (i.e. you're a server host), recommended to use a base install of nginx, php, etc. rather than the containers (for devops).

Nginx Proxy Manager

Run NPM (or just standard Nginx) on the server and route the container_name:port through there for ease of development on multiple sites/projects.

Docker

Dockerfile(s) are any run during the build process (so first instance of run, unless build specified). So use them to do the automatic scripting that you would otherwise need to do manually, i.e. database creations, imports, etc for first run.

Rebuild with Dockerfiles

sudo docker compose down && sudo docker compose build --no-cache && sudo docker compose up -d --force-recreate --build --build at end may not be needed, but was for me

Just restart

sudo docker compose down && sudo docker compose up -d

Replacing DB with docker build

You will need to delete the mysql folder I believe. sudo rm -rf /home/nathan/docker_vol/aleaf_mariadb Once it's run/built once I recommend using a script to replace/re-import data, etc.

Accessing the container

sudo docker exec -it aLeaf-php /bin/bash # For running leaf scripts/composer, etc sudo docker exec -it aLeaf-mariadb mysql -unathan -p # For SQL sudo docker exec aLeaf-mariadb mysql < <script_file> # To run a script file (maybe) sudo docker exec -it aLeaf-nginx /bin/bash # To check nginx issues sudo docker exec -it aLeaf-nginx nginx -s reload # Restart nginx (not the container, just the service)

Multiple sites on same docker stack (just in case)

Leaf uses apache, I use nginx

https://winginx.com/en/htaccess htaccess files generated can be switched to nginx with this

TODO

• inotifywait/entr on default.conf change, to restart nginx server on container

Leaf create (cli to make a starter app if nothing already)

leaf create my-app --mvc leaf create basic --basic composer create-project leafs/mvc:v4.0-beta my-app

Shared folders in windows (virtualbox) VMs

Need to do this or symlinks don't work, and that messes up a bunch of composer stuff
