Docker Dev Setup for CodeIgniter projects

Local dev guide (Linux)

1. Clone the repo:

   git clone https://github.com/TOA-Anakin/codeigniter-docker-dev.git

2. Rename the cloned repo as desired:

   mv codeigniter-docker-dev your_project_name

3. Check your user ID using the id -u command and update the .docker/.env file accordingly.
4. cd into the .docker directory and build the Docker containers:

   cd your_project_name/.docker
   docker compose up -d --build

   Before the end of the process you should see a list of newly created (now running) containers:

   [+] Running 5/5
   ✔ Network codeigniter_docker_dev_app
   Created                                      0.2s 
   ✔ Volume "codeigniter_docker_dev_db"
   Created                                      0.0s 
   ✔ Container codeigniter_docker_dev-phpmyadmin-1
   Started                                      0.2s 
   ✔ Container codeigniter_docker_dev-db-1
   Started                                      0.2s 
   ✔ Container codeigniter_docker_dev-nginx-1
   Started                                      0.2s

5. Open the terminal of the server container (mine is named codeigniter_docker_dev-nginx-1) and create a CodeIgniter project using composer:

   docker exec -it codeigniter_docker-nginx-1 bash
   composer create-project codeigniter4/appstarter tmpdir

   Move the contents of tmpdir into the project root:

   mv tmpdir/* . && mv tmpdir/.[!.]* . && rmdir tmpdir

6. Access your CodeIgniter web app at http://localhost
