Start quick dev server with docker
Sometimes I need to start a web-server within current directory. I use Docker and I have a special docker image for it. I just put this snippet into my .zshrc
:
startDev() {
if [[ -n $1 ]]
then
NUM=$1
else
NUM=1
fi
echo ' >>> to get the port from host: dockerport dev-static-'$NUM' 80'
docker run \
--rm -t -i -p 80 \
--name dev-static-$NUM \
-v `pwd`:/var/www \
yitsushi/nginx-static-and-php \
start
}
Now when I want a web-server then I only need to type startDev
or if I have multiple instances at the same time startDev 3
or startDev 8
. It uses my yitsushi/nginx-static-and-php docker image from docker hub. It has an Nginx, PHP-FPM and GD (maybe it will expanded more PHP lib).
(clockwork) Ξ ~ → cd Development/Experiment
(clockwork) Ξ Development/Experiment → startDev
>>> Start with "start" in container
>>> to get the port from host: dockerport dev-static-1 80
>>> Container ID: f89d0ff09040
* Restarting PHP5 FastCGI Process Manager php5-fpm [ OK ]
In another terminal I get the port with dockerport becuase I'm on mac and I need this hack because of boot2docker:
(clockwork) Ξ ~ → dockerport dev-static-1 80
192.168.59.103:49171
or just simply:
→ open http://`dockerport dev-static-1 80`
I have an alias for that too :)
