Many times I've tried and failed to understand what docker is. Now I have a basic but solid idea of what it is thanks to a PHP guide. Wasn't expecting that but thank you very much ^^
I love how you explained Docker and its configuration. I've been trying to understand it for months but your content made me unify everything I read before and even get a project up and running within docker. I'm a seasoned PHP dev and I'm enjoying re-learning from your course coz its making me understand 'newer' concepts and expanding my thinking. Thanks Gio!
Once you use docker (and get over the first headaches) you will never want go back to thing like XAMPP, docker, and specially docker-compose, are great for local development, even more for people who use Linux, in which docker runs at lightspeed. Thanks for the tutorial, great video, keep it up.
wow, It's been a while. I stopped watching you cause there were no more PHP videos. Tnx I will finish again today. Will wait for another 8-10 videos to watch. Thank you for this amazing course. I want to let you know that I got the job that I was telling you about. It's a PHP/Laravel Job. I have learnt so much from you about PHP. Thank you. I will be grateful forever :)

Even after 2 years of publishing the course, I managed to ask my questions and get my problems solved via twitter and discord. I mean it is not sth u get with ANY FREE COURSE out there. I just want to say Im rly grateful...
I know everyone already told you how good of a teacher you are. BUT i gonna say it again , YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER , glad i found you. Thanks for theentire playlist.
PHP needs courses like this! PHP is the king of bad learning videos and low quality infos, and I don't know actually why. So many awful code practices everywhere, so many anti-patterns (with globals, without composer, without namespaces, with mixing buisness logic with presentation layer, with only one file functions.php "for everything", etc.). This is not my first language and I see that these code practices are really bad and smelling, but many-many newbies may find it helpful... Gio, really thank you for such quality course. Only suggestions - please, give us more practical exercises. Keep up your awesome work!
Thanks for the video, Gio! I had to take a lengthy Docker course before proceeding but I now see the utility of containerization, it's really cool. The only thing I still can't wrap my head around is data transfer between the server and PHP-FPM. So you've got 2 separate containers running, one with the PHP-FPM installed and the other with the server that doesn't automatically pass requests to .php files over to any interpreter. These containers essentially share one interface though, which is the src directory on the Docker host. Still I don't get the mechanics of this all. Suppose you initiate an HTTP request on your Docker host (via browser) and the destination is the loopback address with the 8000 port attached to it. The OS on the Docker host parses the request and since 8000 is the port one of our containers listens on, that container gets that request. This container is running Nginx and it sees that it's a request to a .php file. Okay, what next? In the config file it says "fastcgi_pass app:9000" so I understand that this is the part responsible for forwarding the request to the PHP interpreter. However, what does "app" stand for? Through deduction I conclude that's the reference to the container (service) running PHP-FPM but the name of that service is actually "programwith-gio" as indicated in the .yml file. So I'm confused. TL;DR: how does PHP-FPM communicate with Nginx when they're running in separate containers?
Glad you took the additional course for the Docker, it does come in handy. So the 'app' is not the container name but the service name, if you check the docker-compose programwithgio-app is the container name but the service name right under services is app.
@ProgramWithGio thank you, I'm almost finished with your truly awesome series, and I've also recommended it to my dev friends. Now I decided to backtrack some crucial things in your code that I still am not quite comfortable with in terms of understanding, however. Right now it's some of Nginx config blocks. I'd be grateful if you could point out the flaws in my logic here. So here goes. If you use an arbitrary endpoint to make a request to the app, e.g. localhost:8000/foo it's going to be handled by the second location block first. The request URI is /foo, and I assume that's what should be in the $query_string variable. However, the variable is empty as I checked it by sending a header with its contents back as a response via the add_header directive inside the second location block. So how does the request URI persist through to the point of being processed by index.php?
Just found you, and man i can say your way of teaching makes it very easy to follow whats going on. Thank you, I'll be following your tutorial and subscribed.
Sir, can you teach me how to download and setup docker compose and nginx the right way. i am a begginer and have been struggling with this for 3 days, i looked at many tutorials but they did not help.
Yess. Ahh thats headache.. Starts from installing docker on ubuntu and continues with attempts to force it work, changing configurations that was in the video, sending energy in space and stuff like this. But now it works somehow! Almost understand how exactly. Thanks for work.
Thank you. That is correct, I just prefer to have it in both cases in case you only work with docker-compose.yml and abstract away the Dockerfile somewhere else. Just a habit I guess
The latest and recommended version of the Compose file format is defined by the updated Compose Specification Those who might use this video, use “Docker compose up” And name your file “compose.yml” over "docker-compose.yml" even though backwards compatibility is kept And don’t pass a version header this is the updated way at time of writing
Sir, can you teach me how to download and setup docker compose and nginx the right way. i am a begginer and have been struggling with this for 3 days, i looked at many tutorials but they did not help.
Thank you, great lessons. I have a suggestion: In new videos. If you please, make the File/ Settings/ Appearance & Behavior/ Appearance: use custom font size: 16, so the menus look a bit clearer. Also, Editor/ Color Scheme/ Cobalt, has a clearer contrast than Darcula when presenting code to others. Thank you again, and please keep on.
Thank you and yes I agree. I'm going to increase the font, in later videos I started zooming in on important parts but increasing font should help. Will test the cobalt theme 👍
Gio, I need your help. when i type docker-compose up in the terminal I get, "no configuration file provided: not found" I don't know what to do, I have tried everything I searched on Google except changing to linux. What should I do?
Awesome course so far. Sorry if you already mentioned but I can't find it. Do you have the source code posted somewhere? I find it specially useful to copypaste the configuration files and avoid typos.
Great. I need to watch it again so I can set docker up. I downloaded docker composer before but I don't know what went wrong. For one I didn't even know how to integrate with the any server and then I was also installing wsl2 and the whole thing made my computer so slow that I had to remove them all and technically re-install my OS. But from what you showed, it seems easy if I follow what you demonstrated (I hope).
Like everyone else I'm also enjoying this series. I just had a couple of questions about the docker setup: (1) Why is the bind mount ("- ../src:/var/www") required for both the app and nginx services? Shouldn't it only be necessary for the app service? (2) Why is there a ".d" at the end of the nginx config path in the docker-compose.yml file? I've tried everything and it works great; I just don't understand how it works.
My advice would be to leave your folder structure in git for others to copy cause writing by hand can lead to typos :D I don't understand all of the things in your docker files but i think that is normal, cause I only used XAMPP and I didn't need to write anything there. Last question would be why are we writing /var/www directories in a lot of places?
My reply was removed by UA-cam. Not sure if you had the chance to see it. /var/www contains your source code in docker container but if you don't mount the volume it will just be empty. So we map the local source directory to the /var/www. Not understanding everything is perfectly normal, you'll learn along the way. If you like Docker I would suggest watching some docker tutorial and then a lot of things will make sense. You can DM me on twitter in case my reply gets deleted again if you have follow up questions. Idk what's up with UA-cam deleting my replies ☹️
I'm done. My docker is up and running with all the other hassles inbtwn. Local Host is running now. Thanks a lot Gio. But if I close my text editor after the container is up will it still run? And if it doesn't still run how do I get it up again?
That's great, good job. When you close the editor it doesn't stop containers. You need to run docker-compose down, if you want to start containers again just run docker-compose up -d
HI there Gio. I have attempted to get nginx up and running with docker. But it's not worked for me somehow. It could just be a typo. Is there any chance of zipping up the docker directory and posting it to git hub. Many many many thanks for your great teaching.
You can just share your code repository that includes the Dockerfile & docker-compose as well as nginx configuration. Any specific errors you are facing? Try checking logs using docker logs command for nginx container
Hi Gio, you are a great teacher! In this video however I want to give my constructive mentions. While for most this kind of product information seems to be normal and just informative, my brain plays games with me in such "close-to-advertisement" features. I recognize that you prefer these products and you not only mention the benefits and features in you really fantastic way but give me and many others a clear idea of what we can expect from these. Thats great and please don't change this attitude! But would you mind to include some sort of advanced environment recommendation in general? However that might be because I am not a professional programmer but for me environment means feeling comfortable with a (one) solution. That has not to be all-in-one but a one(solution/combination)-for-all(long) time. I don't want to switch there and there and lose time to feel comfortable with the one and the other setting if you know what I mean. Of course and you tell this often in this video it depends on what you are working on. In my Idea a perfect environment would be to have the possibility to: - develop in the same way as I test (same IDE, same functionalities) - test with exactly same conditions as they run in production - ideally have at least one production setting on my own responsibility with the possibility to adjust this to fit to comparable production settings and to enable Closed Beta Testing. As I like to have the final app to have two different versions "test" and "production". I would like to have this "test" at least to have the same opportunities as full production and full development. Wouldn't it make sense then to have the development environment be the same as the production environment? And if so, why should I always use Environment for my development where everyone's clear this is for development, not for production? What would you recommend to me? Especially if I prefer to use free/open source products?
Thank you. Docker is the best way to achieve what you described. I just covered the basics for it since this course is not about docker but if you want to learn more you could watch some advanced Docker courses.
most likely a configuration issue. I would need to see your code & configuration to be able to assist. You can DM me on Twitter (X) your github repo link@@DavidKwadwoArthur
I feel like installing extensions in official php images is a lot of pain. Had to install php-redis, imagick, mysql pdo and their dependencies from like 5 different places. What's the advantage of official images, comparing to apt-ing out all the stuff in a bare linux image?
@@ProgramWithGio Thank you for the answer. My main goal is to build a local dev environment quickly, and won't ship containers to production or testing yet, so that's not too bad. I think the configuration thing depends, the official image doesn't maintain extensions in one place or with one tool, and has permission issues sometime (too much security), both which I hardly encounter with an apt install
Thanks a lot sir. I have a question, where can we find the php.ini file or the services that we installed via docker-compose.yml file like server directory etc?
It's usually under: /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d directory within the container. You can create a custom php.ini within your docker folder where your docker-compose.yml is for example and then modify docker-compose.yml and add the following line: - ./local.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/local.ini under the volumes section right under where you map the source directory to the /var/www Rebuild the containers and it should use your custom ini. Note that your custom ini does not have to be a full PHP.ini it can just contain the changes you want to make.
Hello Thank you for the great course. I've been learning for a month or so, but I could not get the docker working. Every parameter is working fine but when I reach localhost:8000 it doesnt work. Can you help me plz? ofc I have modified some addresses in your files including ../src/

Hello and thanks for this tutorial. I am just learning Nginx. Do you have a video where laravel is used with docker and apache? Can you pls point me to it?
Hi Gio How are you? Hope you are well. Just a question, I'm new in docker. I install docker desktop, pull php and nginx image in my docker desktop, download your source code Open it VS code and run docker-compose up. it says no configuration file provided: not found, please help me?
@@mdsirazul9231 how did it work with you? i did all of that and got into the docker directory and ran the command docker-compose up and i'm getting this error: failed to solve: failed to read dockerfile: open Dockerfile: no such file or directory any help from you guys would be appreciated
I would like to use docker. But on windows it works too slow. I've got problems with installation already. It downloads very slow. So thank you for advicing laragon

Hi, these days I am trying to configure Xdebug inside the php composer. I'm following several tutorials but none of these are exhaustive and above all working ... Do you intend to dedicate a video on Xdebug? (in my case I use vscode as ide)
Hello, Teacher Geo, I hope you can help me. “I have Windows 7 and I cannot install Windows 10-11 because my device is weak. I downloaded and installed dockertoolbox and downloaded the container images nginx, alpine, php, redis, but when I do the docker-compose up command in vcod, an error appears even though I wrote The file docker-compose.yml & nginx.conf & dockerfile correctly, so I decided to move to larvel homestead. What do you think of it? Will I be able to create an online store with it and transfer it to Hostinger hosting without problems? If you have another suggestion, let me know.”
That is, when I upload the site to hosting, there will be no errors and it will work well. I plan to build an online store with Larvel and React. It will not crash and will work well if I built it with Laragon.
Not sure if Laragon is meant for production, its just a local development environment. For production you can use something like Digital Ocean & if you need help provisioning, you can use Laravel Forge.
This is considered intermediate, Section 1 is basic, Section 2 OOP (intermediate), Section 3 Advanced. Docker is not a requirement, its just an alternative to XAMPP, feel free to keep using XAMPP or Laragon depending on what you are currently using. You can come back to Docker later.
was my comment deleted? with me comes an error and was after I enter docker-compose up comes the error ERROR: The Compose file '.\docker-compose.yml' is invalid because: 'nginx' does not match any of the regexes: '^x-'
I had this problem too - make sure the nginx.conf root and docker-compose volumes use the same location, they should both be /var/www. The nginx.conf was incorrectly set to var/www/public
Hi Gio, I''ve tripple checked the code and it seems to be the same as yours. Running docker-compose up in terminal was a success and now when I go to localhost:8000 I get a 404 not found /nginx message which is good I guess because I got the containers running but I can't execute anything from index.php. Any idea what might be the problem? (Just localhost doesn't work at all unless XAMP is on which makes sense to me..:D) I get this in my terminal everytime I try to connect: | 172.18.0.1 - - [10/Jan/2022:17:30:57 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 404 556 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gec ko) Chrome/97.0.4692.71 Safari/537.36"
SOLVED VIA TWITTER: My Index.php was located in the SRC folder only. I did not have it in the PUBLIC folder and the nginx config points to the PUBLIC folder.
Would be cool to know how to use cdn with apache, everywhere I look for this there's "that's a topic for another video" but pretty much every server I work with have apache not nginx.
Whenever I say "that's topic for another video", I actually cover it in another video. I can't fit everything into one video, otherwise it would be a giant video. We used Apache in the beginning of the series & since this series is all about learning PHP "the right way" it was important to cover some alternatives to apache, so I decided to cover nginx in second section. We are going to work on a final project at the end of the series & deploy it. I plan on setting up CDN as well there and that's probably where I'll talk about CDN.
Hi Gio how are you? just a question, is it necessary to have a dockerfile for each image before using docker compose? because i tried, i have a dockerfile for php, nginx and mysql, but the nginx container keeps restarting all the time, and now i saw that you didn't create the nginx dockerfile. Thanks in advance! and sorry if i hadn't smashed the like button on all your videos, they're like drugs and i don't even realize when i'm in a new one :( lol
Hey, I'm good, thank you. How are you? You need some sort of base image, you dont need to have separate Dockerfiles, can just use the existing images for MySQL for example. If you share your code I can help troubleshoot it. Put it up in GitHub and send me the link in Twitter as well as screenshot of the issue.
I did not quite understand why there are two seperate containers for the application and for the apache daemon. If i understand the .yml file correctly, the whole project will be mounted into the nginx container and the nginx deamon will process all the requests. And also the whole project will be mounted in the app container. Since the nginx container will not access files from the nginx container, I don't understand whats the purpose of the app container in the first place. Thanks in advance ! :)
You will need to create php.ini in docker directory for example & copy it over from either Dockerfile or docker-compose. Google "custom php.ini docker-compose"
@@ProgramWithGio yes I meant hotreload, smashing F5 is not elegant :D btw your response time is awesome. A rough workaround could be adding header("Refresh:1"), so the page refreshes itself. Can be problematic at some point I guess.
@@drgregoryhouse1470 Vite has that built in I think for front-end, so you could give it a try. Yea adding refresh every second isn't that good, will become annoying very fast 😁
Hi, can you explain how to run code from GitHub and connect everything to Docker in Windows? I tried docker-compose up in terminal, but all I get is error "no configuration file found". I'm thinking that maybe workdir isn't correct, but I don't know to what I need to change it to work. Thanks in advance!
Hello first of all, thank you for all this courses. My question is about the docker, with xamp you show how to configure but with docker I try since 2 days but I am so lost.
@@ProgramWithGio after 5:42 minutes I cannot follow because I dont know how did you put the docker and src on the code editor. What condiguration you do on the doxker logiciel?
@@veyspixelboy there are two ways you can do it. One is have your source code on your computer C drive or whatever drive, doesn't matter, and open it in editor that way. Another way is to put your source code to WSL distribution and you should be able to open that from editor as well. Having source files in WSL is better because it is faster due to less disk IO. You can try the other way first. Also I would recommend watching docker for beginners tutorial if you want to use Docker. If it's too much then I would just stick with XAMPP or Laragon, it doesn't matter what you use locally, use whatever makes you productive. Docker is not a requirement, I am just showing it as an alternative because we already covered XAMPP.
@@veyspixelboy no problem, good luck & thank you for following along 🙏💙

Good video... thanks for your work. have you looked at the dddev project on this topic? For local projects I love ddev because it is Docker based and comes with some nice options and great features. This project is made for php developers like us…maybe another interesting idea for a short video?
Hi Gio, first of all thank you for sharing knowledge in such a shining way! Can you please tell me (or redirect to other resources for me to understand) how to let nginx know what we usually tell to Apache through .htaccess in order to route any request to index.php? Thank you in advance for any explanation/suggestion and keep up the excellent job!
Hey, thank you. Check 10:06 time on this video. It's set to /var/www/public, so you place your index.php within /var/www/public & all requests go through there.
That was amazing , thanks. can't wait for the other videos. May I ask you to cover things like if we set .ini php config file for this docker container , how can we do that ? And also I would like to ask, is it possible to automatically get https certificates for these nginx php docker files for production, and the last question would be is it posdible to use docker for having multiple domains on the same nginx and php server ? If you cover any of these topics , I would appreciate it.
Thank you. I'll try to squeeze another lesson on these topics. Though it will probably be in third section of the course or towards the end of second section. I personally wouldn't have two sites on same nginx container, it's simpler to just have second site with different containers on different port, so one site on port 8000, another on port 8001 and so on.
@@ProgramWithGio that is indeed right. Honestly the last question was maybe just for my specific case. I have a saas service which is more like a shop maker. That users can set domains for their shops. So I've been thinking about solutions that can automate this process of having many domains on the same project.
@@peymanGhaderkurehpaz Got it, yea that makes sense. There are some services out there that let you do that and probably have API that you can integrate with to automate it.
Wow so far i only played with Xamp, when i run on this tutorial i feel like i receive a Rock on my Face.. hahaha impossible to graps that in 15min hahahha... will go over tutorial and tutorial later about it since docker is not essential to keep going in the course i hope lol ;)
I was having a great time with all your videos until now. Now my fear has set in when your videos from here on are going to be based on docker. You should introduce docker later in the course after all the main concepts have been covered. I dont like to install docker in my PC until such time there is an absolute need. Are all your videos from now on going to be docker based?
Docker is just a tool to have PHP installed along with other things. You don't need to use it at all, you can keep using XAMPP from the first section. It shouldn't make a difference. We do install MySQL using docker later but you already have that with XAMPP so you should be able to skip the installation part of MySQL. I decided to introduce it here because it's the beginning of 2nd section & more advanced, so I wanted to show the alternative to XAMPP. So in short you can skip this video & skip parts of a couple other videos that adjust Docker configuration, aside from that you should be fine. PHP topics I cover are not Docker related.
@@ProgramWithGio Thank you so much for the update. Phew! Honestly, all this crap with docker and other tools like webpack are making developers life miserable. It may look like gung-ho for the developer but it is stupidity from the beginning. Technology is suppose to make developers life easier not stress them with these rubbish and deviate from the main focus of developing business solutions. I wasted a good 1 hours trying to install WSL and Docker only to find out that it ends up with weird errors. The thought of me trying to debug some idiots problems stressed me out. So, naturally, i just ripped everything out and dumped them in the garbage. Do you believe Windows will ever give Linux a chance to survive?? I decided to stick to things that work both with windows and my hosting provider - Apache. Please do not misunderstand me. I am not hitting out at you but rather at the stupidity technology is heading to. Just imagine the tools a developer has to learn for using vuejs, react etc. Clearly shows the fickle mindedness of software developers. Today, i see developers wasting their entire lifetime chasing their tails around these nonsense when they should be focused on the delivering. We stick to basics. Thank you for clearing up my misunderstanding. You are the best. I go through your channel every day and learn more.
I totally understand the frustration, I've been there myself. I don't use docker with Windows because of WSL being clunky which is why I mainly work on Linux on which docker works fine (I just used Docker with WSL in the lesson because I record using Windows). But as I said before it is just a tool, if you are not happy with it you don't have to use it, use whatever makes you more productive & happy. At the end of the day, client does not care whether you use Docker or XAMPP or something else for development, they care for the end result, so get there with whatever makes it easier for you. Thank you for the support 💙
I tried to replicate this but fail :(. My app has a button which call a bash script. I set "everything right", however when I click this button my container log says """"sh: 1: path/to/script.sh: not found"""" eventhough the path is correct... 😵. Do I have to set special permission to Nginx ?
@@ProgramWithGio it is a button on the frontend that call a php function to do some backend validation and then execute a script that do a "git clone" in order to bring an excel file from a repo on gitlab. However everything in the function called does well except executing the script. Thanks in advance!
I thought I followed along with what you were doing, but I can't get it to work. I keep getting an error that looks like this: nginx: [emerg] unexpected "}" in /etc/nginx/conf.d/nginx.conf:14 I'm still not sure why there isn't a way to get a simple nginx&php container as a direct download since it seems that everyone who uses PHP wants a web server too EDIT: ok, I found a typo that caused that error, but it looks like I'm getting other permission errors too. do you have example files we can download for this?

Thanks for the video, Gio! I had to take a lengthy Docker course before proceeding but I now see the utility of containerization, it's really cool.
The only thing I still can't wrap my head around is data transfer between the server and PHP-FPM. So you've got 2 separate containers running, one with the PHP-FPM installed and the other with the server that doesn't automatically pass requests to .php files over to any interpreter. These containers essentially share one interface though, which is the src directory on the Docker host. Still I don't get the mechanics of this all. Suppose you initiate an HTTP request on your Docker host (via browser) and the destination is the loopback address with the 8000 port attached to it. The OS on the Docker host parses the request and since 8000 is the port one of our containers listens on, that container gets that request. This container is running Nginx and it sees that it's a request to a .php file. Okay, what next? In the config file it says "fastcgi_pass app:9000" so I understand that this is the part responsible for forwarding the request to the PHP interpreter. However, what does "app" stand for? Through deduction I conclude that's the reference to the container (service) running PHP-FPM but the name of that service is actually "programwith-gio" as indicated in the .yml file. So I'm confused.
TL;DR: how does PHP-FPM communicate with Nginx when they're running in separate containers?
Glad you took the additional course for the Docker, it does come in handy. So the 'app' is not the container name but the service name, if you check the docker-compose programwithgio-app is the container name but the service name right under services is app.
@ProgramWithGio thank you, I'm almost finished with your truly awesome series, and I've also recommended it to my dev friends. Now I decided to backtrack some crucial things in your code that I still am not quite comfortable with in terms of understanding, however. Right now it's some of Nginx config blocks. I'd be grateful if you could point out the flaws in my logic here. So here goes.
If you use an arbitrary endpoint to make a request to the app, e.g. localhost:8000/foo it's going to be handled by the second location block first. The request URI is /foo, and I assume that's what should be in the $query_string variable. However, the variable is empty as I checked it by sending a header with its contents back as a response via the add_header directive inside the second location block. So how does the request URI persist through to the point of being processed by index.php?
Yay, I got Docker set up thanks to Mr. Gio!
Glad to hear that. You're welcome Miguel

Yess. Ahh thats headache.. Starts from installing docker on ubuntu and continues with attempts to force it work, changing configurations that was in the video, sending energy in space and stuff like this. But now it works somehow! Almost understand how exactly. Thanks for work.
Congrats on making it work
Liked before watching
Thank you 😏
Great tutorial, thank you so much.
The working_dir doesn't need to be redefined in docker-compose file for app container.
Thank you. That is correct, I just prefer to have it in both cases in case you only work with docker-compose.yml and abstract away the Dockerfile somewhere else. Just a habit I guess
Thanks for your good teaching.
This video was useful for me.
Happy to hear that, thank you 🙌
The latest and recommended version of the Compose file format is defined by the updated Compose Specification
Those who might use this video,
use “Docker compose up”
And name your file “compose.yml” over "docker-compose.yml" even though backwards compatibility is kept
And don’t pass a version header
this is the updated way at time of writing
Sir, can you teach me how to download and setup docker compose and nginx the right way. i am a begginer and have been struggling with this for 3 days, i looked at many tutorials but they did not help.
Thank you, great lessons.
I have a suggestion:
In new videos. If you please, make the File/ Settings/ Appearance & Behavior/ Appearance: use custom font size: 16, so the menus look a bit clearer. Also, Editor/ Color Scheme/ Cobalt, has a clearer contrast than Darcula when presenting code to others.
Thank you again, and please keep on.
Thank you and yes I agree. I'm going to increase the font, in later videos I started zooming in on important parts but increasing font should help. Will test the cobalt theme 👍
Gio, I need your help. when i type docker-compose up in the terminal I get, "no configuration file provided: not found" I don't know what to do, I have tried everything I searched on Google except changing to linux. What should I do?
cd into the directory that has the docker-compose.yml file and run the command from there
@@ProgramWithGio Thank you so much man ❤you're undoubtely the best php teacher I've seen
Awesome course so far. Sorry if you already mentioned but I can't find it. Do you have the source code posted somewhere? I find it specially useful to copypaste the configuration files and avoid typos.
Thank you. Check description of the video, link to the source should be there
Great. I need to watch it again so I can set docker up. I downloaded docker composer before but I don't know what went wrong. For one I didn't even know how to integrate with the any server and then I was also installing wsl2 and the whole thing made my computer so slow that I had to remove them all and technically re-install my OS. But from what you showed, it seems easy if I follow what you demonstrated (I hope).
Fingers crossed, hopefully it works out this time 🤞
Like everyone else I'm also enjoying this series. I just had a couple of questions about the docker setup: (1) Why is the bind mount ("- ../src:/var/www") required for both the app and nginx services? Shouldn't it only be necessary for the app service? (2) Why is there a ".d" at the end of the nginx config path in the docker-compose.yml file? I've tried everything and it works great; I just don't understand how it works.
Thank you.
1. nginx might need access to the source as well to serve static assets etc
2. Its more like a convention
My advice would be to leave your folder structure in git for others to copy cause writing by hand can lead to typos :D I don't understand all of the things in your docker files but i think that is normal, cause I only used XAMPP and I didn't need to write anything there. Last question would be why are we writing /var/www directories in a lot of places?
My reply was removed by UA-cam. Not sure if you had the chance to see it. /var/www contains your source code in docker container but if you don't mount the volume it will just be empty. So we map the local source directory to the /var/www. Not understanding everything is perfectly normal, you'll learn along the way. If you like Docker I would suggest watching some docker tutorial and then a lot of things will make sense. You can DM me on twitter in case my reply gets deleted again if you have follow up questions. Idk what's up with UA-cam deleting my replies ☹️
Thanks a lot for the wonderful video!
I can see that I need to become good with Docker fast!
You're welcome. It's not that bad once you play around with it.
best tutorial ever

I'm done. My docker is up and running with all the other hassles inbtwn. Local Host is running now. Thanks a lot Gio. But if I close my text editor after the container is up will it still run? And if it doesn't still run how do I get it up again?
That's great, good job. When you close the editor it doesn't stop containers. You need to run docker-compose down, if you want to start containers again just run docker-compose up -d
best php course
Thank you 🙌
HI there Gio. I have attempted to get nginx up and running with docker. But it's not worked for me somehow. It could just be a typo. Is there any chance of zipping up the docker directory and posting it to git hub. Many many many thanks for your great teaching.
You can just share your code repository that includes the Dockerfile & docker-compose as well as nginx configuration.
Any specific errors you are facing? Try checking logs using docker logs command for nginx container
Will do@@ProgramWithGio
Great video, thanks! I was wondering why we connect the src folder to both containers?
One is for nginx & other is for php & php-fpm
Hi Gio, you are a great teacher!
In this video however I want to give my constructive mentions. While for most this kind of product information seems to be normal and just informative, my brain plays games with me in such "close-to-advertisement" features. I recognize that you prefer these products and you not only mention the benefits and features in you really fantastic way but give me and many others a clear idea of what we can expect from these. Thats great and please don't change this attitude! But would you mind to include some sort of advanced environment recommendation in general?
However that might be because I am not a professional programmer but for me environment means feeling comfortable with a (one) solution. That has not to be all-in-one but a one(solution/combination)-for-all(long) time. I don't want to switch there and there and lose time to feel comfortable with the one and the other setting if you know what I mean. Of course and you tell this often in this video it depends on what you are working on.
In my Idea a perfect environment would be to have the possibility to:
- develop in the same way as I test (same IDE, same functionalities)
- test with exactly same conditions as they run in production
- ideally have at least one production setting on my own responsibility with the possibility to adjust this to fit to comparable production settings and to enable Closed Beta Testing.
As I like to have the final app to have two different versions "test" and "production". I would like to have this "test" at least to have the same opportunities as full production and full development. Wouldn't it make sense then to have the development environment be the same as the production environment? And if so, why should I always use Environment for my development where everyone's clear this is for development, not for production?
What would you recommend to me? Especially if I prefer to use free/open source products?
Thank you. Docker is the best way to achieve what you described. I just covered the basics for it since this course is not about docker but if you want to learn more you could watch some advanced Docker courses.
@@ProgramWithGio Thanks!
How did you get the files in the docker and the src directories? What command would you run?
Not sure what you mean, I have all my source files on WSL & then open the directory from the code editor.
@@ProgramWithGio I got it figured out. The only problem is when I run localhost:8000, I get 502. Bad Gateway. How do I fix this, please?

I feel like installing extensions in official php images is a lot of pain. Had to install php-redis, imagick, mysql pdo and their dependencies from like 5 different places. What's the advantage of official images, comparing to apt-ing out all the stuff in a bare linux image?
Main advantages are security, consistency & most of the stuff are pre-configured. Going manual means you may need to do the configuration.
@@ProgramWithGio Thank you for the answer. My main goal is to build a local dev environment quickly, and won't ship containers to production or testing yet, so that's not too bad. I think the configuration thing depends, the official image doesn't maintain extensions in one place or with one tool, and has permission issues sometime (too much security), both which I hardly encounter with an apt install
Thanks a lot sir. I have a question, where can we find the php.ini file or the services that we installed via docker-compose.yml file like server directory etc?
It's usually under: /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d directory within the container. You can create a custom php.ini within your docker folder where your docker-compose.yml is for example and then modify docker-compose.yml and add the following line:
- ./local.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/local.ini
under the volumes section right under where you map the source directory to the /var/www
Rebuild the containers and it should use your custom ini. Note that your custom ini does not have to be a full PHP.ini it can just contain the changes you want to make.
Should we always redirect all requests to index file
Its up to you, though its good practice to have a single entry to the application.

Hi Gio, can you recommend a good docker course for beginners? (short and synthesized like yours)
Hello. Techworld with Nana is a good channel. She has a 3hr course on Docker I believe.
Hi, these days I am trying to configure Xdebug inside the php composer. I'm following several tutorials but none of these are exhaustive and above all working ... Do you intend to dedicate a video on Xdebug? (in my case I use vscode as ide)

What are the technologies needed to build microservice with php
That is a broad question :). Depends on the application & goals/needs

Sir, can we follow the course on XAMPP, by not using Docker ?
Yes, you should be able to
Hello, Teacher Geo, I hope you can help me. “I have Windows 7 and I cannot install Windows 10-11 because my device is weak. I downloaded and installed dockertoolbox and downloaded the container images nginx, alpine, php, redis, but when I do the docker-compose up command in vcod, an error appears even though I wrote The file docker-compose.yml & nginx.conf & dockerfile correctly, so I decided to move to larvel homestead. What do you think of it? Will I be able to create an online store with it and transfer it to Hostinger hosting without problems? If you have another suggestion, let me know.”
For local development it's fine, you can try Laragon as well
That is, when I upload the site to hosting, there will be no errors and it will work well. I plan to build an online store with Larvel and React. It will not crash and will work well if I built it with Laragon.
Not sure if Laragon is meant for production, its just a local development environment. For production you can use something like Digital Ocean & if you need help provisioning, you can use Laravel Forge.
ok, thank you
Is this episode considered advanced level ? I do not understand most of it , Should I watch it more than one?
This is considered intermediate, Section 1 is basic, Section 2 OOP (intermediate), Section 3 Advanced. Docker is not a requirement, its just an alternative to XAMPP, feel free to keep using XAMPP or Laragon depending on what you are currently using. You can come back to Docker later.
@@ProgramWithGio got it 😁
was my comment deleted?
with me comes an error and was after I enter docker-compose up comes the error
ERROR: The Compose file '.\docker-compose.yml' is invalid because:
'nginx' does not match any of the regexes: '^x-'
UA-cam sometimes removes comments if it thinks it's a spam. Looks like an error in docker-compose. Compare it to my file and see the difference.
Sir, I have a problem, Docker is running fine but unable to access localhost:8000, please advice.
Check docker logs and confirm both nginx & fpm container are running
I had this problem too - make sure the nginx.conf root and docker-compose volumes use the same location, they should both be /var/www. The nginx.conf was incorrectly set to var/www/public
Hi Gio, I''ve tripple checked the code and it seems to be the same as yours. Running docker-compose up in terminal was a success and now when I go to localhost:8000 I get a 404 not found /nginx message which is good I guess because I got the containers running but I can't execute anything from index.php.
Any idea what might be the problem?
(Just localhost doesn't work at all unless XAMP is on which makes sense to me..:D)

Would be cool to know how to use cdn with apache, everywhere I look for this there's "that's a topic for another video" but pretty much every server I work with have apache not nginx.
Whenever I say "that's topic for another video", I actually cover it in another video. I can't fit everything into one video, otherwise it would be a giant video. We used Apache in the beginning of the series & since this series is all about learning PHP "the right way" it was important to cover some alternatives to apache, so I decided to cover nginx in second section.
We are going to work on a final project at the end of the series & deploy it. I plan on setting up CDN as well there and that's probably where I'll talk about CDN.
Hi Gio how are you? just a question, is it necessary to have a dockerfile for each image before using docker compose? because i tried, i have a dockerfile for php, nginx and mysql, but the nginx container keeps restarting all the time, and now i saw that you didn't create the nginx dockerfile. Thanks in advance! and sorry if i hadn't smashed the like button on all your videos, they're like drugs and i don't even realize when i'm in a new one :( lol
Hey, I'm good, thank you. How are you?
You need some sort of base image, you dont need to have separate Dockerfiles, can just use the existing images for MySQL for example.
If you share your code I can help troubleshoot it. Put it up in GitHub and send me the link in Twitter as well as screenshot of the issue.
I did not quite understand why there are two seperate containers for the application and for the apache daemon. If i understand the .yml file correctly, the whole project will be mounted into the nginx container and the nginx deamon will process all the requests. And also the whole project will be mounted in the app container. Since the nginx container will not access files from the nginx container, I don't understand whats the purpose of the app container in the first place.
Thanks in advance ! :)
Don't forget about fpm, nginx is just webserver
any idea how to increate the memory limit of this ?. because I cannot find the php.ini in your tutorial...how to set that in docker?
You will need to create php.ini in docker directory for example & copy it over from either Dockerfile or docker-compose. Google "custom php.ini docker-compose"

@@ProgramWithGio after 5:42 minutes I cannot follow because I dont know how did you put the docker and src on the code editor.
What condiguration you do on the doxker logiciel?
@@veyspixelboy there are two ways you can do it. One is have your source code on your computer C drive or whatever drive, doesn't matter, and open it in editor that way. Another way is to put your source code to WSL distribution and you should be able to open that from editor as well. Having source files in WSL is better because it is faster due to less disk IO. You can try the other way first.
Also I would recommend watching docker for beginners tutorial if you want to use Docker. If it's too much then I would just stick with XAMPP or Laragon, it doesn't matter what you use locally, use whatever makes you productive.

That was amazing , thanks. can't wait for the other videos. May I ask you to cover things like if we set .ini php config file for this docker container , how can we do that ? And also I would like to ask, is it possible to automatically get https certificates for these nginx php docker files for production, and the last question would be is it posdible to use docker for having multiple domains on the same nginx and php server ? If you cover any of these topics , I would appreciate it.
Thank you. I'll try to squeeze another lesson on these topics. Though it will probably be in third section of the course or towards the end of second section. I personally wouldn't have two sites on same nginx container, it's simpler to just have second site with different containers on different port, so one site on port 8000, another on port 8001 and so on.
@@ProgramWithGio that is indeed right. Honestly the last question was maybe just for my specific case. I have a saas service which is more like a shop maker. That users can set domains for their shops. So I've been thinking about solutions that can automate this process of having many domains on the same project.

Wow so far i only played with Xamp, when i run on this tutorial i feel like i receive a Rock on my Face.. hahaha impossible to graps that in 15min hahahha... will go over tutorial and tutorial later about it since docker is not essential to keep going in the course i hope lol ;)
That's understandable and it's ok. Docker is not a requirement, keep using XAMPP or whatever makes your more productive 🙌
I was having a great time with all your videos until now. Now my fear has set in when your videos from here on are going to be based on docker. You should introduce docker later in the course after all the main concepts have been covered. I dont like to install docker in my PC until such time there is an absolute need. Are all your videos from now on going to be docker based?
Docker is just a tool to have PHP installed along with other things. You don't need to use it at all, you can keep using XAMPP from the first section. It shouldn't make a difference. We do install MySQL using docker later but you already have that with XAMPP so you should be able to skip the installation part of MySQL.
I decided to introduce it here because it's the beginning of 2nd section & more advanced, so I wanted to show the alternative to XAMPP.
So in short you can skip this video & skip parts of a couple other videos that adjust Docker configuration, aside from that you should be fine. PHP topics I cover are not Docker related.
@@ProgramWithGio Thank you so much for the update. Phew! Honestly, all this crap with docker and other tools like webpack are making developers life miserable. It may look like gung-ho for the developer but it is stupidity from the beginning. Technology is suppose to make developers life easier not stress them with these rubbish and deviate from the main focus of developing business solutions. I wasted a good 1 hours trying to install WSL and Docker only to find out that it ends up with weird errors. The thought of me trying to debug some idiots problems stressed me out. So, naturally, i just ripped everything out and dumped them in the garbage. Do you believe Windows will ever give Linux a chance to survive?? I decided to stick to things that work both with windows and my hosting provider - Apache. Please do not misunderstand me. I am not hitting out at you but rather at the stupidity technology is heading to. Just imagine the tools a developer has to learn for using vuejs, react etc. Clearly shows the fickle mindedness of software developers. Today, i see developers wasting their entire lifetime chasing their tails around these nonsense when they should be focused on the delivering. We stick to basics.
Thank you for clearing up my misunderstanding. You are the best. I go through your channel every day and learn more.
I totally understand the frustration, I've been there myself. I don't use docker with Windows because of WSL being clunky which is why I mainly work on Linux on which docker works fine (I just used Docker with WSL in the lesson because I record using Windows). But as I said before it is just a tool, if you are not happy with it you don't have to use it, use whatever makes you more productive & happy. At the end of the day, client does not care whether you use Docker or XAMPP or something else for development, they care for the end result, so get there with whatever makes it easier for you.
Thank you for the support 💙
I had exactly the same feeling like @mani
Awesome can you show one how to in stall Laravel with docker without sail

I tried to replicate this but fail :(. My app has a button which call a bash script. I set "everything right", however when I click this button my container log says """"sh: 1: path/to/script.sh: not found"""" eventhough the path is correct... 😵. Do I have to set special permission to Nginx ?
Not sure I understand what you mean by a button. Why do you need a button in your app to run a bash script? Is your docker set up properly?
@@ProgramWithGio it is a button on the frontend that call a php function to do some backend validation and then execute a script that do a "git clone" in order to bring an excel file from a repo on gitlab. However everything in the function called does well except executing the script. Thanks in advance!
It's hard to know what the problem is without looking at the code. It doesn't sound like a docker issue.
How can i create a docker image with Microsoft sql server, with exensions enabled php8, nginx? some one help please.
Through a command & some configuration most likely. Do research in google on "install microsoft sql server in docker" & try few options
I have tried several commands on Google but non works . I thought you could share a working command

How to mail() from within Docker ..????
Keep watching the series, we get to emailing part later on. You can also search for it in the outline repo or the playlist
I thought I followed along with what you were doing, but I can't get it to work. I keep getting an error that looks like this:
nginx: [emerg] unexpected "}" in /etc/nginx/conf.d/nginx.conf:14
I'm still not sure why there isn't a way to get a simple nginx&php container as a direct download since it seems that everyone who uses PHP wants a web server too
EDIT: ok, I found a typo that caused that error, but it looks like I'm getting other permission errors too. do you have example files we can download for this?
Looks like there might be a typo on line 14 in nginx.conf? You can send me your nginx.conf on Twitter (X) & I can help troubleshoot
