use of bitnami codeigniter Docker container - richb201 - 09-28-2019
First let me say that I have an application up and running on AWS Lightsail that uses CI 3 and Grocery Crud and works fine. I want to ad some features that I think will help in marketing my product (which, btw, is free). When I originally wrote the CI application on my Windows PC and uploaded it to AWS, I found some parts didn't work. Through a huge amount of effort I was able to debug my server app remotely.
I have sworn that if I make any changes to the server code I need a better way to debug this than to remote debug on AWS. Thus I have decided to use Docker so I can debug directly on my Ubuntu laptop. I have pretty much standardized on Bitnami to handle the server config.
Bitnami has docker development containers for CI3, mariaDB, php, and Apache. On my laptop my CI application is at /var/html/www/sub_crud. Below this is the /Application, /APPATHcache, /External Libraries directories. These are the normal CI things (and php runtime) that my app uses. My plan is to create a copy of this sub_crud directory in a new layer in the apache image. I will do this by running docker build image from the /var directory.
Bitnami containers use the 4 images I talked about. In my case I will use my modified image that I call apache-with-code to start the Apache server. Since I already have the CI source and the php runtime in sub_crud that I am copying to the apache-with_code image, I am thinking that I just need to start up the following containers:
apache-with-code
mariaDB
Will this possibly work?

You will have to try it to see if it will work.

Turns out that when building a layer onto an existing image, you can only copy files and dirs that are in sub dirs of the location of the Dockerfile. I finally got the updated image built last night. I had to use .dockerignore to keep the cache files out of the image. I guess I could switch the session caches to use the database instead but I don't think it needs to persist across reboots.
So I got the image built. I run the new container with:
richb201@richb201-XPS-13-9370:/var/www/html$ docker container run -p 80:80 --rm apache-with-code

Now I go over to my browser and type localhost. Here is what I get:
[color=var(--google-gray-900)]This site can’t be reached[/color]
The connection was reset.
I also tried http://localhost/sub_crud:80 with the same results. Anyone know what youwould try next?
