A Docker command builder configured by YAML, based on PhpZone. Its primary purpose is to provide a simple way to define commands for running Docker containers/instances which could be used in daily workflow of every developer. Since now not all developers need to have a knowledge about Docker but still everyone can simply understand what is running. It is not only about the knowledge but also experienced developers can find an advantage in keeping ready-made commands.

This tool is only a configurator and executor of Docker commands, it means applications Docker and Docker Compose are not included.

An example speaks a hundred words so let’s go through one.

The configuration file below is used for the development of this extension:

Create a phpzone.yml file in the root of a project:

extensions:
    PhpZone\Docker\DockerCompose: # register an extension with a configuration
        db:
            description: Run DB which can be used for running tests
            name: myproject
            file: docker-compose.yml
            command: up

and run:

$ vendor/bin/phpzone db

This will compose a proper Docker Compose command docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -p myproject up and execute it.
