Docker skeleton

docker skeleton for creating a controlled environment for php applications

Introduction

With this skeleton you can easily create a webserver with a mysql database using docker-compose This skeleton also links a phpmyadmin to the database so you can manage what is inside the database. Also, no emails will be sent from this container, but catched by mailcatcher. In this way you can easily test your projects without accidentally sending emails to your customers.
