appignition/php-workspace repository overview

⁠About

This image is the PHP base image for the Workspace container in AppIgnition⁠. It has been optimally configured to provide everything you need for developing a Laravel application installed with AppIgnition.

⁠About AppIgnition

AppIgnition is a free Docker Desktop Extension that aims to make installing new web applications a breeze with Docker containers! However, rather than having to build and configure your Dockerfiles, images, and containers yourself, AppIgnition already comes with several pre-configured containers to choose from. Save hours or days trying to find the right versions and configuration files for all of the software you need and get started building your next greatest idea in a matter of minutes!

⁠Use Cases

⁠Installing a new Web Application from Scratch

Installing a new application with all of the required software becomes a breeze through containerization! Configure your environment and containers through an elegant UI, specify your application's dependencies, and finish the installation within 15-20 minutes without ever having to worry about installing local versions of the software you need.

⁠Onboarding New Team Members for an Existing Application

A common problem when adding new team members to your project is having to keep your onboarding documentation up to date. Moreover, it's possible for your new team members to join with different hardware other than what's documented. You can now simplify this process by having them install your existing application with AppIgnition and turn what was once a several day effort into a matter of minutes.

⁠Running a Microservice Architecture.

Simulate a realistic microservice architecture by installing multiple applications within the same workspace. These applications can seamlessly communicate not only with your containers' services but also with each other.

⁠Experiment with New Tools

Have you ever wanted to try out your application with a different database engine? Maybe you wanted to change the configuration of your web server to see if it has an impact on your responses. With AppIgnition, you can easily add or configure a new container to try out your theory without any reprecussions to your local environment.

⁠Provide a Consistent CI/CD Pipeline

AppIgnition can automatically generate the required configuration files to run your continuous integration in GitHub or CircleCI. With this, you will get much more consistent results with your local environment since it is using the same containers and configurations that you are.
