What Is Docker?
“Docker is an open platform for developers and sysadmins to build,
ship, and run distributed applications. Consisting of Docker Engine, a
portable, lightweight runtime and packaging tool, and Docker Hub, a
cloud service for sharing applications and automating workflows,
Docker enables apps to be quickly assembled from components and
eliminates the friction between development, QA, and production
environments.”

php[tek] 2017
Let’s use Docker
18

php[tek] 2017
Running a container
• `docker run` will run a container
• This will not restart an existing container, just create a new one
• docker run [options] IMAGE [command] [arguments]
• [options ]modify the docker process for this container
• IMAGE is the image to use
• [command] is the command to run inside the container
• [arguments] are arguments for the command

php[tek] 2017
Some Notes
• All three containers are 100% self contained
• Docker containers share common ancestors, but keep their own files
• `docker run` parameters:
• --rm – Destroy a container once it exits
• -d – Run in the background (daemon mode)
• -i – Run in interactive mode
• --name – Give the container a name
• -p [local port]:[container port] – Forward the local port to the container port
32

php[tek] 2017
Modifying a running container
• `docker exec` can run a command inside of an existing container
• Use Volumes to share data
34

php[tek] 2017
Persistent Data with Volumes
• You can designate a volume with –v
• Create a named volume with `volume create`
• Volumes can be shared amongst containers
• Volumes can mount data from the host system
35

php[tek] 2017
Mounting from the host machine

38

php[tek] 2017
39

php[tek] 2017
40

php[tek] 2017
Mounting from the host isn’t perfect
• The container now has a window into your host machine
• Permissions can get screwy if you are modifying in the container
• Most things it creates will be root by default, and you probably aren’t root on
the host machine
• Host-mounted volumes are not portable at all
• OSX and Hyper-V VMs have limited pathings to mount
• OSX has poor I/O performance
41

php[tek] 2017
Named Data Volumes
• Creates a space that becomes persistent
• Can be mounted anywhere inside your images
• Have our app containers use the data volume to store data
• Use ‘editor containers’ to go in and modify data when needed
42

php[tek] 2017
vim Tutorial
• vim is a Modal text editor
• ESC will drop you back to default mode
• :new /opt/webconfig/default to create a new file
• In default mode, i will get us into interactive (edit) mode
• :w to save a file
• :q will quit

48

php[tek] 2017
49

php[tek] 2017
Why go through the hassle?
• Data volumes are portable, depending on the driver
• Data volumes are safer
• Separates the app containers from data
• Production can use a data volume, dev can use a host volume
• Our app containers stay small
• Works directly with other tools
50

php[tek] 2017
Networking
• Docker can create multiple network “pools”
• Each container gets an IP address
• Containers can be attached to multiple networks
• Docker network allow service discovery inside networks
52

php[tek] 2017
Legacy - Docker Links
• Legacy Links work with `--link`
• Only works on the legacy “bridge” network
• Doesn’t support service discovery
• Not worth it to use anymore
53

php[tek] 2017
Docker Networks
• Discreet IP pool for containers
• Containers can be added and removed to the network at whim
• Service discovery though ‘--network-alias’
• Can be set up to work across hosts

php[tek] 2017
Other Helpful Commands
60

php[tek] 2017
Inspect a container
docker inspect [options] CONTAINER_NAME
• Returns a JSON string with data about the container
• Can also query
• docker inspect -f “{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}” web_server
• Really handy for scripting out things like reverse proxies
61

php[tek] 2017
Work with images
• docker pull IMAGE – Pulls down an image before using
• docker images – Lists all the images that are downloaded
• docker rmi IMAGE – Deletes an image if it’s not being used
62

php[tek] 2017
Containerizing An Application
63

php[tek] 2017
Our Goals
• Not change our workflow (much)
• Run PHP 7, Unit Tests, and webserver
• Deploy “easily”
64

php[tek] 2017
Just try and run it
docker run -d --name d4dapp
-v C:dragoProjectsdockerfordevs-app:/var/www/
-p 8080:80
php:apache
65

php[tek] 2017
Checking Logs
• Containers log to stdout/stderr
• Docker aggregates the logs
• Can be viewed with docker logs
67

php[tek] 2017
Custom Images
• PHP images are pretty bare
• Lots of times need to install extensions
69

php[tek] 2017
Dockerfile
• Dockerfile is the configuration steps for an image
• Can be created from scratch, or based on another image
• Allows you to add files, create default volumes, ports, etc
• Can be used privately or pushed to Docker Hub
70

php[tek] 2017
docker/Dockerfile
FROM php:apache
RUN a2enmod rewrite
71

php[tek] 2017
Build it
docker build -t tag_name ./
• This runs through the Dockerfile and generates the image
• We can now use the tag name to run the image
72

php[tek] 2017
Build it
docker build -t d4dapp docker/
73

php[tek] 2017
Use the new image
docker run -d --name d4dapp
-p 8080:80
d4dapp
75

php[tek] 2017
Use the new image
76

php[tek] 2017
Slightly better
77

php[tek] 2017
Install Dependencies
78

php[tek] 2017
Running Composer
docker run --rm
-v c:/Users/drago/.composer:/root/.composer
-v c:/Users/drago/Projects/workshop:/app
-v c:/Users/drago/.ssh:/root/.ssh
composer/composer
install
79

php[tek] 2017

81

php[tek] 2017
docker/Dockerfile
FROM php:apache
RUN a2enmod rewrite
&& docker-php-ext-install pdo_mysql
82

php[tek] 2017
Rebuild the image
docker build -t d4dapp docker/
83

php[tek] 2017
Rebuild the container
$ docker rm -f d4dapp
$ docker run -d --name d4dapp
-p 8080:80
d4dapp
84

php[tek] 2017
Docker Compose
86

php[tek] 2017
What is Docker Compose?
• Multi-container orchestration
• A single config file holds all of your container info
• Works with Docker Swarm and a few other tools, like Rancher
87

php[tek] 2017
Sample docker-compose.yml
version: '2'
volumes:
mysqldata:
driver: local
services:
d4dapp:
build: ./docker/
volumes:
- ./:/var/www/
ports:
- 8080:80
mysqlserver:
image: mysql
environment:
MYSQL_DATABASE: dockerfordevs
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: 's3curep@assword'
volumes:
- mysqldata:/var/lib/mysql
88

php[tek] 2017
No longer use docker run
$ docker rm –f d4dapp
$ docker-compose up -d
89

php[tek] 2017
Now we have 2 containers
90

php[tek] 2017
Config for DB now points to the service
name
91
<?php
return [
'debug' => true,
'config_cache_enabled' => false,
'db' => [
'driver' => 'Pdo_Mysql',
'hostname' => 'mysqlserver',
'port' => '3306',
'database' => 'dockerfordevs',
'user' => 'root',
'password' => 's3curep@assword',
],
];

php[tek] 2017
Install our DB Migration Software
docker run --rm
-v c:/Users/drago/.composer:/root/.composer

Docker Machine
ZendCon, October 2016 105

What is Docker Machine?
• A provisioning tool that is used to set up a box with Docker
• Used in Docker Toolbox to create the VM
• Supports:
• EC2
• Azure
• Digital Ocean
• Hyper-V
• OpenStack
• Virtualbox
• VMWare
php[tek] 2017 106

Why use it?
• Makes it very easy to spin up new boxes
• Docker Machine handles all of the dirty stuff for you
• Docker Toolbox users are already using it
• Integrates with Docker Swarm
• It is not necessarily portable
php[tek] 2017 107

Let’s make a machine!

Production Considerations
php[tek] 2017 111

12 Factor Applications
php[tek] 2017 112

1. Codebase
One codebase tracked in revision control, many deploys
php[tek] 2017 113

Repo Tips
• Keep everything in your repository
• Tag releases
• Never move tags
php[tek] 2017 114

2. Dependencies
Explicitly declare and isolate dependencies
php[tek] 2017 115

Dependencies
• Commit both composer.json and composer.lock files
• Commit Dockerfiles to the same repo as the codebase
php[tek] 2017 116

3. Config
Store config in the environment
php[tek] 2017 117

Configuration
• Anything that is environment specific should move to environment
vars
• Makes it much easier to build and deploy code
• Code cares less what external services it is talking to
php[tek] 2017 118

Use Environment Vars
• Can specify them one-by-one
– docker run e VAR_NAME=value
• Can specify a file
– docker run envfile=filename
• Can specify in docker-compose.yml
php[tek] 2017 119

4. Backing Services
Treat backing services as attached resources
php[tek] 2017 120

Everything is “external”
• Never talk to local sockets
• Don’t make a determination between “locally” hosted and third party
• Easier to switch environments
• Easier to scale up
php[tek] 2017 121

5. Build, release, run
Strictly separate build and run stages
php[tek] 2017 122

The Workflow
• Build step installs dependencies, compiles files, and generates a Build
Artifact that can be deployed
– Does not contain any deployment configuration
• Release step pushes a Build Artifact into an environment
– Runs DB migrations, anything needed to happen before running
• Run step runs the app fully in the environment
php[tek] 2017 123

Tips
• Build Artifact can be an image
• Builds should be completely reproducible
• Release always take a build artifact, never directly from the repo
• Tag all your builds
• Track all your releases
php[tek] 2017 124

Build Step - Start Small
• Build your application
• Run composer
• Run npm/bower
• Build JS/CSS
• Use the compiled output to build an image with docker build
• Push full image to private registry
php[tek] 2017 125

docker build
• Additional options to look at
• -f, --file – Specify a different filename for the Dockerfile
• --no-cache – Don’t use a cached layer
• --pull – Always pull a new version of the image
php[tek] 2017 126

Sample usage
docker build
--no-cache
–f docker/php/phpserver.dockerfile
–t prod_php /opt/builds/20161010
php[tek] 2017 127

phpserver.dockerfile
FROM php:fpm
RUN docker-php-ext-install pdo pdo_mysql
COPY ./ /var/www
php[tek] 2017 128

6. Processes
Execute the app as one or more stateless processes
php[tek] 2017 129

Built Into Docker
• One Process per container
• Allows tools to scale just what needs to be scaled
• Allows images to be swapped out as needed
php[tek] 2017 130

7. Port Binding
Export services via port binding
php[tek] 2017 131

Built Into Docker (Again)
• Each container gets its own IP and exposes its own ports
• Processes should already be talking over a network
• Can work with service locators that are port-based
php[tek] 2017 132

8. Concurrency
Scale out via the process model
php[tek] 2017 133

How well does your app handle scaling?
php[tek] 2017 134

Built Into Docker (Again) (Again)
• One Process per container
• Scale up just the container that is needed
• App should not care how many instances of each service are running
php[tek] 2017 135

9. Disposability
Maximize robustness with fast startup and graceful shutdown
php[tek] 2017 136

Signals
• Docker starts containers fairly quickly
• Applications should gracefully shut down, not just die
• Docker sends a SIGTERM when shutting down a container
• Your CLI apps may need to handle SIGTERM properly
– Cal Evans, “Signalling PHP”
php[tek] 2017 137

10. Dev/prod Parity
Keep development, staging, and production as similar as possible
php[tek] 2017 138

11. Logs
Treat logs as event streams
php[tek] 2017 139

Logging in Docker
• Various logging options built in
– JSON file (default)
– Fluentd
– Syslog
– Journald
– Gelf
– Splunk
– Aws
– Etwlogs
– Gcplogs php[tek] 2017 140

Push logs remotely
• When possible, push Docker logs to a remote service
– Container logs only exist while the container exists
• Allows logs to be viewed in a single place
• No need to get into actual servers
• Can host yourself, or pay for a SaaS
• ELK stack is very popular
– Docker uses fluentd instead
php[tek] 2017 141

Setting up fluentd
services:
  d4dapp:
    build: ./docker/d4dapp
    depends_on:
       fluentd
    volumes:
       ./:/var/www/
    ports:
       8080:80
    logging:
      driver: "fluentd"
      options:
        fluentdaddress: 127.0.0.1:24224
        tag: apache.access
php[tek] 2017 142

Setting up fluentd
services:
  fluentd:
    build: docker/fluentd
    depends_on:
       elasticsearch
    volumes:
       ./docker/fluentd/fluent.conf:/fluentd/etc/fluent.conf
    ports:
       24224:24224
       24224:24224/udp
php[tek] 2017 143

Setting up fluentd
FROM fluent/fluentd
RUN ["gem", "install", "fluentpluginelasticsearch", "nordoc", "nori", "version",
"1.9.2"]
php[tek] 2017 144

Setting up fluentd
[See Config File in repo]
php[tek] 2017 145

Setting up ElasticSearch and Kibana
services:
  elasticsearch:
    image: elasticsearch
    expose:
       9200
    ports:
       9200:9200
  kibana:
    image: kibana
    depends_on:
       elasticsearch
    ports:
       5601:5601
php[tek] 2017 146

Viewing Logs
php[tek] 2017 147

Logging notes
• docker logs does not work with external logging, only JSON
• This example can be cleaned up a bit
• Kibana syntax can be a bit odd to work with
php[tek] 2017 148

12. Admin Processes
Run admin/management tasks as one-off processes
php[tek] 2017 149

Deployment using Docker Compose
php[tek] 2017 151

Very Good for Small Deployments
• Can be used to augment your dev environment
• Works well with Docker Machine
php[tek] 2017 152

Create a machine
docker-machine create --driver digitalocean
--digital-ocean-access-token [token]
sunshinephp2017
php[tek] 2017 153

Switch to the remote node
• Run docker-machine env sunshinephp2017
& "C:Program
FilesDockerDockerResourcesbindocker-
machine.exe" env sunshinephp2017 | Invoke-Expression
php[tek] 2017 155

Set up docker-compose
• Docker Compose allows multiple config files with -f
• Have a base docker-compose.yml for Production
• Add a secondary one for Development
php[tek] 2017 156

docker-compose.dev.yml

When doing development
docker-compose
–f docker-compose.yml
–f docker-compose.dev.yml
up -d
php[tek] 2017 159

When doing a deployment
docker-compose up -d
php[tek] 2017 160

Other Alternative – Variable Substitution
• Docker Compose allows variable substitution inside the file
• Wrap variables in ${}
• image: ${DEPLOY_VERSION}_php
php[tek] 2017 161

When doing a deployment
docker-compose up -d
php[tek] 2017 162

Docker Swarm
php[tek] 2017 163

What is Swarm?
• Docker-supplied clustering
• Define a series of services that can be deployed
