Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Using UNIX-based system.
• Download and Install Docker.

Installation

0. Clone this project

1. Create .env file from .env.example in root directory

The given configuration will be used by Docker to build the containers.

If you change NGINX_PORT to other than port 8000 or PHP_PORT to other than port 9000, you need to adjust listen and fastcgi_pass in nginx configuration at /nginx/default.conf.

For example, if you change NGINX_PORT to port 8005 or PHP_PORT to port 9005, the /nginx/default.conf will be filled like this:

server {
	listen 8005;
	...
    
	location ~ \.php$ {
		try_files $uri =404;
		fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(\.+)$;
		fastcgi_pass php:9005;
		...
	}
	...
}

2. Run command make build on your terminal

This command will build Docker Compose containers.

3. Run command make up on your terminal

This command will run Docker Compose containers.

4. Run command make ex on your terminal

This command will open PHP container terminal.

5. Adjust .env file in /src directory

The given DB credentials, DB port, and Redis port in /src/.env must be equal to the given values in /.env.
You also need to change DB_HOST value in /src/.env based on this format: {CONTAINER_PREFIX}_postgres.
You can see the value of CONTAINER_PREFIX in /.env at the project root directory.
