This is the main configuration file. Its variables will be used by the templates. You can define your own additional variables to use them in templates too.

❗It’s a MUST to change this file.

(1) It is a MUST to change

  • APP_NAME - the name of your application/ project (lowercase and without spaces)

(2) You SHOULD change the portmappings in

  • APP_PORT - exposed tcp port for apache httpd

(3) If you use mariadb then set this value to true:

  • DB_ADD=true

Then the image for myriadb will be enabled in the generated docker compose file.

  • DB_PORT - exposed tcp port for mariadb

(4) Check needed packages and modules in

  • APP_APT_PACKAGES
  • APP_APACHE_MODULES
  • APP_PHP_MODULES
