We'll jump right in and install Docker, with installation steps for Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows. Then, you'll run your first container to verify that your setup is working properly.
Learn your way around Docker with hands-on commands. We'll start off with the basics so you can learn how build your first Docker image from scratch and how to run it. We'll then go over customizing a PHP INI file.
Learn how simple it is to build your own LAMP stack with Docker, without any 3rd party tools. You will also learn how to install and configure PHP modules, all while versioning your configuration in your projects.
Learn how to master Xdebug with Docker with a step-by-step guide that shows you how to install Xdebug with a reusable configuration. You'll also learn how to remove Xdebug when you deploy Docker to production environments.
Are you curious how to use PHP Composer with Docker? You will Learn how to install the Composer CLI tool and install your application dependencies while building a Docker image. Learn how to install private composer repositories without leaving a trace of sensitive API keys or SSH credentials. Learn how to cache Composer dependencies for faster image builds.
Running a Webserver in Docker is a little different than on a traditional server. We cover installing Nginx and PHP-FPM and how they communicate in between Docker containers. We also walk through using Caddy Server, an HTTP/2 web server with automatic HTTPS.
Let's face it, we all have that legacy application in our lives. This chapter will help you set up an older version of PHP with Docker and show you how to retrofit configuration in older applications.
Go beyond the basics of running a container with custom commands and learn how to customize your application startup and runtime. Learn how to use Confd with Consul to separate configuration management from infrastructure code.
Learn how to take your Docker images to the cloud and share them with others. We'll cover how to push your Docker images to registries and automatically build them when you push code commits to GitHub and other services.
Take your first steps in deploying Docker to Digital Ocean with Rancher. Deployment is a big topic, and this chapter is a perfect first step for Developers. Learn how to push your image builds to Rancher from the command line with Rancher Compose.
I first met Paul when he was writing his book on testing Lumen APIs. I learnt a lot from that book, and I’ve learnt a lot from his writing on @laravelnews.

Hey, super nice! @paulredmond's new "Docker for PHP developers" uses Operator for all the code examples, with Operator Italics for the comments, natch. Thanks, Paul! https://t.co/vEdGpKXufk pic.twitter.com/oUqGMcaVzP

"So far I am loving the book, everything is explained clearly, and I've gained a lot of confidence using Docker. – David B."
I spent so many hours trying to figure this things out by myself and you make it look so easy 👌. This is gold for beginners. Next stop, chapter 6 🔥.

Bought the book yesterday around the middle of the day, and today I already understand docker for development and automatic deployments, even tried the whole process.

A great way to start using @Docker in @symfony / @laravelphp projects 👍#dockerphp
Just finished "Docker for PHP Developers" by @paulredmond. What a fantastic read! If you've wanted to learn more about Docker this book is a great way to do it. I wish I had this book several months ago when I first started working with Docker - so many things are clearer now.
