This guide provides detailed instructions on how to set up a complete PHP development environment using Apache on Ubuntu 20.04. It covers the installation of necessary dependencies, Apache configuration, enabling SSL, and setting up Laravel with Composer.
Start with the official Ubuntu 20.04 base image.
Configure the environment to be non-interactive to avoid prompts during package installation.
Define the working directory as /var/www/html/petradevs.
Update the package list and install required packages, including Apache, PHP, and various PHP modules.
Use pecl to install the MongoDB PHP extension.
Enable necessary Apache modules like rewrite and ssl.
Copy and set permissions for the entrypoint script.
Generate self-signed SSL certificates and Diffie-Hellman parameters for secure communication.
Copy the custom Apache configuration file.
Ensure the /tmp directory is writable.
Install Composer using the official Composer Docker image.
Copy application files and set permissions.
Install Composer dependencies for the Laravel application.
Set appropriate permissions for Laravel storage and cache directories.
Expose ports 80 and 443 for HTTP and HTTPS traffic.
Start the Apache server in the foreground.
Run Laravel Artisan commands to clear and cache the configuration, and set appropriate permissions.
