PHP Essex Meetup - Designing Docker Images For PHP Apps By Stuart Herbert

This months talk is "Designing Docker Images For PHP Apps" by Stuart Herbert

Containers in general - and Docker in particular - are hot tech. Not only are they a great replacement for many roles where we'd normally use a virtual machine, but they're also a great way to distribute applications along the pipeline from dev to test to production. And they're great for running PHP web-based apps!

In this talk, Stuart will show you how he designs Docker images that can be used to run PHP-based web applications in dev, test and in production. He'll walk through why dev Docker images are different to test/production images, and how to easily convert a dev Docker image into a test/production image without undermining the whole point of using Docker in the first place.
