# Lightweight LAMP Stack with Docker

This repository contains a lightweight LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack using Docker containers.

## Features

- **Apache 2.4** (Alpine-based) - Web server with support for virtual hosts
- **PHP 8.4** (FPM Alpine-based) - Latest PHP version
- **MySQL 8.0** - Relational database
- **Adminer** - Lightweight database management tool (alternative to phpMyAdmin)
- **Virtual Host Support** - Easy to add new virtual hosts
- **Optimized Images** - Using Alpine Linux for minimal footprint

## Quick Start

1. Clone this repository
2. Navigate to the project directory
3. Start the stack:

```bash
docker-compose up -d
```

4. Access the services:
   - Web server: http://localhost:32000
   - Adminer (MySQL GUI): http://localhost:32001
   - PHP Info page: http://localhost:32000/index.php

## Configuration

### Apache Virtual Hosts

To add a new virtual host:
1. Create a new `.conf` file in `apache/vhosts/`
2. Configure your virtual host settings
3. Restart Apache: `docker-compose restart apache`

Example virtual host configuration is provided in `apache/vhosts/example.conf`

### Environment Variables

MySQL credentials are configured in `docker-compose.yml`:
- Database: `lamp_db`
- Username: `lamp_user`
- Password: `lamp_password`
- Root Password: `root_password`

Adminer uses these same credentials by default.

## Customization

### Changing PHP Version
Modify the PHP Dockerfile to use a different PHP version tag.

### Adding PHP Extensions
Edit the PHP Dockerfile to install additional extensions using `docker-php-ext-install`.

### Persistent Data
MySQL data is persisted in a Docker volume named `mysql-data`.

## Stopping the Stack

```bash
docker-compose down
```

To remove volumes as well:

```bash
docker-compose down -v
```

## Notes

- All images are based on Alpine Linux for minimal size
- Apache is configured to allow `.htaccess` overrides
- PHP-FPM communicates with Apache via the shared volume
- Adminer provides a clean, lightweight interface for database management
