LAMP Architecture with Docker Compose

Hello readers, in this article we are going to discuss about docker compose and building LAMP Architecture with Docker Compose.

What is Docker Compose

Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a YAML file to configure your application’s services. Then, with a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration.

YAML File

YAML stands for YAML ain't markup language, which is a data serialization language that is often used for writing configuration files. YAML will store data in key value pairs, YAML file is a space indented.

LAMP Architecture

LAMP stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. Together, they provide a proven set of software for delivering high-performance web applications.

• Create a docker compose file for setting up LAMP Architecture

# vim docker-compose.yml

---
