Composer-docker VS Composer

The same principle applies to any other images you may depend on, such as composer for dependency installation. Select the image tag that matches the major composer version you're using on your machine — composer:2 instead of composer:latest.

I've got a local version of PHP installed, but I really don't need it. Composer has an official docker container: https://hub.docker.com/_/composer/

I found on the docs of the composer image, in the Troubleshooting section, that composer should not be used that way. So I put it inside the Php image with COPY --from=composer /usr/bin/composer /usr/bin/composer and it worked. Thanks for the help u/effata!

I run most of the projects I develop on through a docker image. If it's a PHP project with composer dependencies, I use a composer image to install its dependencies, when I want to run it I use a php image. If the PHP image does not include the dependencies required for the project, I will look for an image within the project that is used, or build my own image serving the purpose. I like to make things easy to run and use, so that if I leave a project for a while I want it to be easy to get started again. If the project requires multiple things running, like a database, I setup docker-compose to make it easy to start a PHP container and database container alongside eachother that can communicate.

There is a hard coded case for this now in the project https://github.com/composer/docker/blob/master/1.10/docker-entrypoint.sh#L6

The /app directory is specified working directory, from composer image via https://github.com/composer/docker/blob/582c6f4e10b6b8fbf9bc1c5b02d6ec24694fe8d4/2.0/Dockerfile#L60.

Delving into PHP frameworks like Laravel or Symfony is like building a skyscraper, with Composer acting as your "construction foreman," guiding you step by step to ensure your code is robust and awe-inspiring. This stage involves getting familiar with popular PHP frameworks such as Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, etc., and utilizing the functionalities provided by these frameworks to rapidly develop efficient, maintainable web applications. Tools to consider: Laravel, Composer.

In our example application we will manage dependencies via Composer.

Our project template is equipped with Composer and an autoload class pre-installed. This inclusion in the repository streamlines the setup process, particularly for this access-token course. Composer, a dependency manager for PHP, simplifies the integration of external libraries and ensures efficient autoloading of classes. It plays a pivotal role in managing project dependencies, enabling developers to focus more on implementation rather than manual library management. If you're unfamiliar with Composer or need guidance on its installation, refer to the following link for detailed instructions: [https://getcomposer.org/] and this article for more details on the setup of the packages in this project.

On you Jenkins server, install PHP, its dependencies and Composer tool (Feel free to do this manually at first, then update your Ansible accordingly later)

Composer is a PHP package manager and it will allow us to use many out-of-the-box packages and features such as HTTP requests, logging, and templates and database management. I use it to develop large, complex applications.
