Devilbox local development environment

Based on https://github.com/cytopia/devilbox

This configuration comes with:

  • PHP (latest, 8.2)
  • PHP 7.4
  • PHP 8.0
  • PHP 8.1
  • MariaDB
  • NGINX

1. Installation

Requires docker (https://docs.docker.com/get-started/)

  1. Clone this repository to your local machine, for example in ~/development/devilbox
  2. Create .env file based on env-example file: cp env-example .env
  3. Make the following adjustments inside the .env file
  • TLD_SUFFIX > Optionally override the default domain suffix, e.g. local
  • NEW_UID > Find the UID with command id -u (usually 501 on mac, 1000 on WSL/Ubuntu)
  • NEW_GID > Find the GID with command id -g (usualy 20 on mac, 1000 on WSL/Ubuntu)
  • TIMEZONE=CET
  • HOST_PATH_HTTPD_DATADIR > This is the path where your projects are stored, for example ~/development/www
  • HTTPD_DOCROOT_DIR=webroot > The public/webroot folder inside the project folders
  • HTTPD_TEMPLATE_DIR=.docker/devilbox > When using a custom nginx.yml config for a project, it's stored here
  • MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root
  1. Rename nginx.yml-sterc inside the cfg/vhost-gen/ folder to nginx.yml. This is the base nginx config every project uses, and is modified to work with MODX. For a custom nginx config for a specific project, see chapter 6 below.
  2. Rename custom.conf-example inside the cfg/nginx-stable/ folder to custom.conf. This has some nginx specific configuration options.

2. Creating projects

If you create a new folder inside your HOST_PATH_HTTPD_DATADIR it will automatically become accessible as a local domain. Preferably use the website domain as the folder name when creating the project folder, for example: git clone git@bitbucket.org:sterc/sterc.git sterc.com This will make the local site available as https://sterc.com.[suffix], and an SSL certificate is auto generated for that domain.

3. Usage

Start the docker containers by running docker-compose up -d inside your devilbox folder. This will start all containers defined in your docker-compose.yml file. You can also start selected containers with:

docker-compose up -d php mysql httpd

Example of using just PHP 7.4 + MariaDB + NGINX:

docker-compose up -d php74 mysql httpd

Example of using all PHP versions + MariaDB + NGINX:

docker-compose up -d php php74 php80 php81 mysql httpd

4. Running CLI scripts (npm/composer)

Running npm or composer scripts can be done from within the PHP container(s). Access the main PHP container by running: ./shell.sh or docker-compose exec --user devilbox php bash -l > where 'php' is the name of the container you want to access. Alternatives are 'php74', 'php80' and 'php81'. This will take you to the container shell, where npm, nvm and composer are pre-installed and ready to use.

5. Using SSL / HTTPS

Every project has as an auto-generated SSL certificate for the local domain ([project-folder].[suffix]). To be able to use this the browser/OS has to have the Devilbox certificate authority added. More info here: https://devilbox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intermediate/setup-valid-https.html

6. Custom nginx configs

When you want to use a custom nginx config for a project, this can be added as .docker/devilbox/nginx.yml inside your project folder. There are examples of this in various Sterc projects.

7. Custom PHP version per site

Within the .docker/devilbox/nginx.yml file you can also specify the PHP version you want to use for that project.

8. Additional PHP versions

The default PHP container is defined by the PHP_SERVER value in your .env file. You can add additional PHP versions by adding them as services inside the docker-compose.yml file, which will make them available as separate containers. An example PHP 7.4 container is already added in the default docker-compose.yml file. If you want to use a different PHP for a specific project, make sure to add an nginx.yml config file inside your project (see chapter 6 above).

9. Overriding php.ini settings

In the cfg/php-ini-8.1 folder (or whatever version you're using) you can add a .ini file where the default php.ini settings can be overridden. For example:

max_execution_time = 300
memory_limit = 2048M
pcre.backtrack_limit = 10000000
pcre.jit = 0

10. Setting up keychain

Got a SSH key password? Good for you! But you need to submit your passwords everytime you use composer on a private repo or checking out of a private git repo. Setup a keychain so you only need to submit your SSH key password once per session.

First, go to your shell of choice (shell.sh for PHP 8.2, shell74.sh for PHP 7.4, etc). Within that shell do the following

sudo apt update && sudo apt install keychain
/usr/bin/keychain --nogui ~/.ssh/id_rsa
source ~/.keychain/php-sh

This will install the keychain application (line 1), add your private ssh-key to it (line 2) and run the keychain (line 3). There are 2 caveats:

  1. You have to do this in every PHP shell
  2. When you rebuild a container, these changes will be lost and you have to redo the above 3 commands
