This Docker image provides an up-and-running PHP development environment based on the XAMPP stack. For convenient access to the conatiner, an additional SSH server is available . Please note that both mySQL and phpMyAdmin use the default XAMPP password settings.

This image uses the /www directory for your project's web content, so you need to mount your working directory from the host into the container:

$ docker run --name xampp -p 2222:22 -p 8080:80 -d -v <project-directory>:/www iggyblob/docker-xampp

The command above will expose an Apache HTTP server on port 8080 as well as an SSH server on port 2222 .
Feel free to adapt the ports and/or container name according to your needs.

URL to your project: http:https://localhost:8080/www
XAMPP management interface: http:https://localhost:8080/

Please use the default SSH password root when connecting to the container.

$ ssh root@localhost -p 2222

$ docker exec -ti xampp bash

If you need to use the mysql client or other binaries provided by the XAMPP package, extend the PATH variable inside your container to include the /opt/lampp/bin directory.

$ export PATH=/opt/lampp/bin:$PATH

In your home directory, create a my_apache_conf directory in which you put your custom Apache .conf files. They will come into effect upon restarting Apache (see the next section for further information).

$ docker run --name xampp -p 2222:22 -p 8080:80 -d -v <project-directory>:/www  -v <project-directory>/my_apache_conf:/opt/lampp/apache2/conf.d iggyblob/docker-xampp

If you modify configuration files you'll have to restart Apache:

$ docker exec xampp /opt/lampp/lampp restart

Please report an issue if you run into any problems while using this Docker image.
