PhpStorm will automatically download the required image and start the web server:

You can now start the configuration from the toolbar: In the dialog that opens, provide the name of the configuration and apply your changes: Right-click docker-compose.yml and select Create… from the context menu: We can now start using it by creating a dedicated run/debug configuration. See here for more details and possible workarounds. The corresponding environment configuration section for Linux will read as follows. You’ll have to use your local machine’s hostname instead (to find out what your machine’s hostname is, simply execute hostname in Terminal). In Docker for Windows and Docker for Mac, it automatically resolves to the internal address of the host, letting you easily connect to it from the container.Īn important note for Linux users: on Linux is currently not supported. Note that we use the value to refer to the remote host. XDEBUG_CONFIG: remote_host=Īs you can see, we use the preconfigured Docker image comprising the Apache web server and PHP 7.4 with Xdebug. In our case, it will be a single webserver service: version: '2' Next, we create a new file named docker-compose.yml , which will describe the configuration of the services comprising our app. To get started, we create a new project in PhpStorm. It provides a selection of preconfigured Docker images curated by the PhpStorm team, which cover the most common PHP development needs.īefore you proceed, make sure that you have Docker installed on your machine: see how to do it on Windows and on macOS. Probably the easiest way to integrate Docker with PhpStorm is to use the PhpStorm Docker registry.

With Docker, you can start developing, running, and debugging your code in a matter of minutes! Your first step will be to set up a development environment: at the bare minimum, you’d want to run a web server and a PHP interpreter (preferably – with the debugging engine installed). So, you’ve decided to try something new today and started a project from scratch.
