This setup is great for writing quick apps in PHP using Lumen from an any Docker client. It uses docker-compose to setup the application services.

git clone https://github.com/corinthoneto/docker-lumen.git
cd docker-lumen

now, create the app in the images\php directory named app

cd images/php
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/app saada/lumen-cli lumen new app

cd images/php/app
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/app saada/lumen-cli composer install

cd images/php/app 
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/app saada/lumen-cli composer require jenssegers/mongodb --ignore-platform-reqs

To change configuration values, look in the docker-compose.yml file and change the php container's environment variables. These directly correlate to the Lumen environment variables.

docker-compose up --build -d

Navigate to http://localhost

Success! You can now start developing your Lumen app on your host machine and you should see your changes on refresh! Classic PHP development cycle. A good place to start is images/php/app/routes/web.php.

Feel free to configure the default port 80 in docker-compose.yml to whatever you like.

docker-compose stop
