How to Create PHP Development Environments with Docker Compose
summary
Step-by-step recipe for a working PHP dev stack using Docker Compose: a Dockerfile builds a PHP 7.4 FPM image that installs required PHP extensions and copies Composer from the official composer image, creates a user matching host UID for correct file permissions, and the docker-compose.yml wires three services — Nginx (Alpine) port-mapped to localhost:8000, MySQL 5.7 with a docker-entrypoint-initdb.d SQL dump that preloads data for a Laravel 6 app. Commands shown: git download, docker-compose up, then docker-compose exec app composer install and php artisan key:generate, after which the Travellists app responds in the browser.
