Cloud Apache Container

This is the base container for running PHP based applications. Select the PHP version environment variables. PHP Version Defaults to PHP 8.3

You mush have docker or compatable containerization software running.

You can pull this image locally by running:

docker pull repo.anhonesthost.net/cloud-hosting-platform/cac:latest

You can then run a development version of the server by running the following commands: Note this is an example, you can modify the command(s) to fit your needs.

mkdir -p local-development/domain.tld
cd local-development/domain.tld
mkdir user
mkdir -p user/logs/{apache,system}
docker run -d -it -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -e PHPVER=84 -e environment=DEV --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)"/user,target=/home/myuser -v"$name-mysql":/var/lib/mysql -e uid=30001 -e user=myuser -e domain=localhost --name local-dev  repo.anhonesthost.net/cloud-hosting-platform/cac:latest

This will start the processes needed to run sites locally.

The first time you start the container, it will take some time as it is installing all the required software to run the dev instance.

If you need to get into the container you can run:

docker exec -it local-dev /bin/bash

To install WordPress for your site

cat cat /home/myuser/mysql_creds
su - myuser
cd ~/public_html
wp core download

You should be able to then go into your browser and go to https://localhost (accept the SSL warning if it appears) and follow the prompts to setup the site.

The database credentials are shown in the /home/$user/mysql_creds file, which we had cat in the commands above.

To stop a restarted instance, run docker stop {name-of-your-container}
To view log stream from container, run docker logs -f {name-of-your-container}
