# 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:__  

```console
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.*

```console
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:__

```console
docker exec -it local-dev /bin/bash
```

__To install WordPress for your site__  

```console
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.
