In the past, I always used xampp to set up a web server to develop my PHP projects. Xampp is not used in a work environment so I wanted to use something else like Docker.

I can't find a good guide with best practices to setup a PHP development through Docker with Apache (or should I go with Ngix?), PHP, MySql (or should I use a different DB?), composer, phpunit, git, xdebug and be able to use Visual Studio Code on Windows to develop. (also, am I missing something?). I would mostly use WordPress/Laravel/Drupal but I also want to make plain PHP/vue.js sites without frameworks

Hello

Check below steps-

1. Install Docker and Docker Compose on Windows.
2. Create a docker-compose.yml file in your project.
3. Use PHP Apache or Nginx containers, MySQL for databases, and PHPMyAdmin for management.
4. Set up Xdebug, PHP extensions, and Apache/Nginx configurations inside your PHP container.
5. Install Visual Studio Code with the "Remote - Containers" extension.
6. Open your project in VS Code and work within the Docker container.
7. Manage dependencies with Composer and run PHPUnit tests within their respective containers.
8. Customize configurations for specific frameworks like Laravel.
9. Develop WordPress, Laravel, Drupal, or plain PHP/Vue.js projects.

This setup provides a versatile Docker-based development environment for PHP projects on Windows.

Thank you
