LAPP Stack

This example shows how to build a simple application using Apache, PHP, and PostgreSQL. It uses Devbox Plugins for all 3 packages to simplify configuration.

How to Run

The following steps may be done inside or outside a devbox shell.

1. Initialize a database by running devbox run init_db.
2. Create the database and load the test data by using devbox run create_db.
3. Start Apache, PHP-FPM, and Postgres in the background by run devbox services start.
4. You can now test the app using localhost:8080 to hit the Apache Server. If you want Apache to listen on a different port, you can change the HTTPD_PORT environment variable in the Devbox init_hook.

How to Recreate this Example

1. Create a new project with:

   bashCopy

   devbox create --template lapp-stack
   devbox install
   

2. Update devbox.d/apache/httpd.conf to point to the directory with your PHP files. You'll need to update the DocumentRoot and Directory directives.

3. Follow the instructions above in the How to Run section to initialize your project.
