Run multiple php versions in docker and host with apache / Run multiple websites on php 7 docker without affecting php 5.6 of host.
If one of your php project is running on php 5.6 of ubuntu/centos/fedora, Now if you want to run another project with php 7 inside docker container. It is quite good idea to run multiple php projects on same machine.
1) Suppose you have container where apache2 and php 7 is running
2) You have already launched this container with mapped port and htdocs path.
We have also mounted /var/www/html of host in /var/www/html of docker. We do not need to go inside docker container to access project files, it can be accessed in html folder of host as we already mapped host and docker directory.
3) Point your subdomain to the public IP of host and add a virtualhost in apache config of host.
'ProxyPreserveHost On' parameter, does not show proxy-passed ip for js and css. It keeps the servername on every page.
5) Now create a file php7project.conf in /etc/apache2/sites-available of docker-apache with following content
6) Enable the site.
7) Now virtualhostof host apache is mapped with virtualhost of docker apache and it will open the site.
http://php7.project.com/
8) Once you make the correct database connection in your docker apache project, your site is ready to access.
If one of your php project is running on php 5.6 of ubuntu/centos/fedora, Now if you want to run another project with php 7 inside docker container. It is quite good idea to run multiple php projects on same machine.
1) Suppose you have container where apache2 and php 7 is running
2) You have already launched this container with mapped port and htdocs path.
docker run -it -v /var/www/html:/var/www/html -p 7030:80 ubuntu:16.04 /bin/bash
As our 80 port of host is already busy, php 5.6 project is running there so we mapped 80 port of docker with 7030 port of host.We have also mounted /var/www/html of host in /var/www/html of docker. We do not need to go inside docker container to access project files, it can be accessed in html folder of host as we already mapped host and docker directory.
3) Point your subdomain to the public IP of host and add a virtualhost in apache config of host.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName php7.project.com
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests off
ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:7030/
ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:7030/
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
We have proxy passed to port 7030 as 80 port of docker apache is mapped with 7030 port of host.'ProxyPreserveHost On' parameter, does not show proxy-passed ip for js and css. It keeps the servername on every page.
5) Now create a file php7project.conf in /etc/apache2/sites-available of docker-apache with following content
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName php7.project.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/projectfoldername
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
6) Enable the site.
cd /etc/apache2/sites-available
a2ensite php7project.conf
7) Now virtualhostof host apache is mapped with virtualhost of docker apache and it will open the site.
http://php7.project.com/
8) Once you make the correct database connection in your docker apache project, your site is ready to access.
