This folder holds a devcontainer definition for Friendica.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The main features are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2024-07-16 17:12:26 +00:00
|
|
|
- The development container is based on the PHP dev container image in a variant that includes an Apache2
|
2024-07-15 18:55:37 +00:00
|
|
|
webserver. The variant defines the PHP version and the OS it is based on. The currently used variant
|
|
|
|
|
is defined in the Dockerfile.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Creating a dev container from the Git repository should give you a running development environment
|
|
|
|
|
with no or optionally only a very little things to do after creation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- A MariaDB container is used for the database. It can be accessed in the dev container's terminal with simple
|
|
|
|
|
calling mysql. The needed parameters for the client are created and copied during setup. The runtime configuration
|
|
|
|
|
needs to use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost as the latter causes PHP to try to use a socket connection which is not
|
|
|
|
|
available in this setup.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The development setup is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- After creation of the dev container the Apache2 web server shall be availaible through port forwarding on
|
|
|
|
|
port 8080 from your local development machine (http://localhost:8080/). This is also the url as configured
|
|
|
|
|
in local.config.php. You should be able to log in with user 'admin@friendica.local' and password 'admin'.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
- Important values are defined in the .env file within the .devcontainer folder and applied during creation wherever possible. The
|
2024-07-15 18:55:37 +00:00
|
|
|
environment is also available during run/debug time to the application.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- XDebug can be started by the launch configuration 'Listen for Xdebug'. The launch configuration is in .vscode/launch.json
|
|
|
|
|
(this file is added to git).
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
- The Apache server in the dev container is reachable with http on the ports 80 and 8080 and with https on port 443. The
|
|
|
|
|
url used for Friendica is defined in local.config.php (currently localhost:8080) and any subsequent request will be redirected
|
|
|
|
|
to this url. To change the url to one you like you need to modify the url in local.config.php which can be done by
|
|
|
|
|
setting the values in the .env file accordingly and rebuilding the container.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The hostname friendica.local is used for the ceritificate and added to the hosts file in the container. .local is a reserved TLD
|
|
|
|
|
for mDNS and if you can use this depends on your network configuration. For developing and debugging using forwarded ports
|
|
|
|
|
(localhost:8080) works fine.

Open points:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Cron jobs / worker are not available. For a dev environment those are disabled by default (but can be optionally
|
|
|
|
|
enabled).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Passing values from the local development machine (with $localEnv) does not seem to work. This would be handy to apply
|
|
|
|
|
a few settings differently based on user choice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The dev container does not have an email MTA.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- There are still a bit too much warnings logged at startup but that doesn't seem to be a problem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Only the first launch configuration ('Listen for Xdebug') is working.
