Hello. I bought a HP t630 and wanted to learn some ubuntuServer+Docker. My file structure looks like this:


/home/bg/docker_stacks (main folder)
/home/bg/docker_stacks/prod_php-maria-apache (this project folder)
/home/bg/docker_stacks/prod_php-maria-apache/docker-compose.yml

/home/bg/docker_stacks/prod_php-maria-apache/apache/

/home/bg/docker_stacks/prod_php-maria-apache/html/
/home/bg/docker_stacks/prod_php-maria-apache/html/test.php

/home/bg/docker_stacks/prod_php-maria-apache/php/
/home/bg/docker_stacks/prod_php-maria-apache/php/php.ini empty

inside test.php there’s

inside docker-compose.yml there’s:

GNU nano 6.2                                                                                                                                                                                       docker-compose.yml

When on my laptop I open:

192.168.1.208:9090 - cockpit works fine

192.168.1.208:8080 - phpMyAdmin works fine

heidiSQL - at 192.168.1.208 opens the database without problems

192.168.1.208:80/test.php or 192.168.1.208/test.php does not work

Any ideas how can I make test.php open in my browser? Any other suggestions are appreciated as I’am newbie in Docker.

    Line 4 of your compose yaml, you’re forwarding port 80 to docker port 80. Use 8081 instead:

    ports:
  - ‘8081:80’

    You can read more about this here:

    https://docs.docker.com/compose/networking/

    You should be able to access 192.168.1.208:8081/test.php after.

      sadly it did not help, http://192.168.1.208:8081/test.php is unreachable by the browser.

      also after making changes to the .yml I cannot restart the containers with sudo docker compose restart. Web container restarts ok, but two of them give me “permission denied”.

      How about if I dont need phpMyAdmin (I’ll access the database through heidiSQL, but I want of course the php to work), can I change the container to be php-fpm? Or maybe changing the config to use nginx?

      while having web: image: php:8.2-cli I was getting prod_maria-php-apache-web-1 exited with code 0 but after changing it to web: image: php:8.2-fpm it’s not giving errors anymore. Still haven’t found the solution for the test.php being not accessible

    SOLVED After watching videos about ngnix, I thought - ok, I have mariadb, phpMyAdmin to manage the DB and “web” with PHP, but where’s the apache actually or ngnix in this config to handle the traffic? I added image: php:8.2-apache instead of image: php:8.2-cli and voila - hello world in browser.
