Quick start

Docker

In order to build and then test the container:

docker buildx build . --platform linux/amd64 -t nicoverbruggen/php84-alpine \
&& docker run -it nicoverbruggen/php84-alpine sh

You may omit the --platform flag if you wish to build a container for your own architecture, but there may be issues with dependencies.

Podman

podman build . -t nicoverbruggen/php84-alpine \
&& podman run -it nicoverbruggen/php84-alpine sh

Automatic builds

The automatically build the container and have it pushed, you must:

• Tag the commit you wish to build
• Create a new release with said tag

The Docker action will automatically build the release and push it under that tag to Docker Hub.

Example usage

.gitlab-ci.yml

tests:
  only:
    - main
  image: nicoverbruggen/php84-alpine:latest
  script:
    - cp .env.ci .env
    - cp .env.ci .env.testing
    - composer install
    - npm install --silent
    - npm run production
    - touch ./database/tests.sqlite
    - vendor/bin/pest --coverage --colors=never
