(N.B. the way that Docker handles permissions may vary depending on your current Docker version. If you're getting errors like

dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: permission denied

when you run the below commands, simply use sudo. This is a known issue.)

This repo contains a recipe for making a Docker container, with Apache, MySQL and PHP. To build, make sure you have Docker installed, clone this repo somewhere, and then run:

docker build -t <yourname>/lampstack .

Or, alternately, build DIRECTLY from the github repo like some sort of SUPER FUTURISTIC FLYING CAR MECHANIC:

docker build -t <yourname>/lampstack git://github.com/jbfink/docker-lampstack.git

Then run it! Woo!

docker run -d <yourname>/lampstack

Check docker logs after running to see MySQL root password, as so

echo $(docker logs <container-id> | sed -n 1p)
