Exposed port and volumes

The image exposes ports 80 and 3306, and exports such volumes:

• /var/log/apache2, containing Apache log files.
• /var/log/mysql containing MariaDB log files.
• /var/log/php_bkp php settings are copied here (ICE) before being overrided.
• /var/www/html, used as Apache's DocumentRoot directory.
• /var/lib/mysql, where MariaDB data files are stored.
• /etc/apache2, where Apache configuration files are stored.
• /etc/php/7.0/apache2, where PHP initialization files are stored.

Please, refer to https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes for more information on using host volumes.

The user and group owner id for the DocumentRoot directory /var/www/html are both by default 33 (use WWWDATA_USR_ID and WWWDATA_GRP_ID variables to change them) (uid=33(www-data) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data)).

The user and group owner id for the MariaDB directory /var/log/mysql are 105 and 108 repectively (uid=105(mysql) gid=108(mysql) groups=108(mysql)).

Use cases

Create a temporary container for testing purposes:

	docker run -i -t --rm thk1/lamp70 /usr/sbin/run-lamp.sh

Create a temporary container to debug a web app:

	docker run --rm -p 8080:80 -e LOG_STDOUT=true -e LOG_STDERR=true -e LOG_LEVEL=debug -v /my/data/directory:/var/www/html thk1/lamp70

Create a container linking to another MySQL container:

	docker run -d --link my-mysql-container:mysql -p 8080:80 -v /my/data/directory:/var/www/html -v /my/logs/directory:/var/log/apache2 --name my-lamp-container thk1/lamp70

Get inside a running container and open a MariaDB console:

	docker exec -i -t my-lamp-container bash
	mysql -u root
