Why use Bitnami Images?

• Bitnami closely tracks upstream source changes and promptly publishes new versions of this image using our automated systems.
• With Bitnami images the latest bug fixes and features are available as soon as possible.
• Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
• Bitnami images are built on CircleCI and automatically pushed to the Docker Hub.
• All our images are based on minideb a minimalist Debian based container image which gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading linux distribution.

Introduction

Codeigniter is a powerful PHP framework with a very small footprint, built for developers who need a simple and elegant toolkit to create full-featured web applications.

The Bitnami CodeIgniter Development Container has been carefully engineered to provide you and your team with a highly reproducible CodeIgniter development environment. We hope you find the Bitnami CodeIgniter Development Container useful in your quest for world domination. Happy hacking!

Getting started

The quickest way to get started with the Bitnami CodeIgniter Development Container is using docker-compose.

Begin by creating a directory for your CodeIgniter application:

$ mkdir ~/myapp
$ cd ~/myapp

Download the docker-compose.yml file in the application directory:

$ curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-codeigniter/master/docker-compose.yml

Finally launch the CodeIgniter application development environment using:

$ docker-compose up

The above command creates a container service for CodeIgniter development and bootstraps a new CodeIgniter application, named myapp in working directory. You can use your favorite IDE for developing the application.

After the builtin PHP application server has been launched, visit http://localhost:8000 in your favorite web browser and you'll be greeted the CodeIgniter welcome page.

Executing commands

Commands can be launched inside the myapp CodeIgniter Development Container with docker-compose using the exec command.

Note:

The exec command was added to docker-compose in release 1.7.0. Please ensure that you're using docker-compose version 1.7.0 or higher.

The general structure of the exec command is:

$ docker-compose exec <service> <command>

where <service> is the name of the container service as described in the docker-compose.yml file and <command> is the command you want to launch inside the service.

Following are a few examples:

• Create a new project named foo:

  $ docker-compose run myapp nami execute codeigniter createProject foo

  Additionally, in the docker-compose.yml file you need to update the CODEIGNITER_PROJECT_NAME environment variable to foo so that the built-in PHP application server serves the application from the foo directory.
