Docker Environment

Using Docker to build your development and production environments can help you reduce the burden of environment setup, regardless of which driver you use. You need to pre-install or enable some special extensions. At the same time, the environment built with Docker can help you use the Workerman and OpenSwoole drivers under the Windows environment.

You can pull the Docker configuration we recommend from the CodeIgniter4-Burner-Docker repository.

Environment notes

All recommended configurations are based on the webdevops/Dockerfile image, which includes common PHP extensions. You can adjust more details through this document to make your environment more suitable for your project.

At the same time, the Dockerfile environment installation instructions of OpenSwoole refer to the official Dockerfile of OpenSwoole. The Dockerfile of Workerman additionally installed php-event extension, which will make Workerman get better performance.
