Hello! In my kubunru 18.04 I try to run docker for my laravel application
$ docker --version
Docker version 17.12.1-ce, build 7390fc6
I have 3 files: .env :
# PATHS
DB_PATH_HOST=./databases
APP_PATH_HOST=./votes
APP_PTH_CONTAINER=/var/www/html/
docker-compose.yml :
version: '3'
services:
web:
build: ./web/Dockerfile.yml
environment:
- APACHE_RUN_USER=www-data
volumes:
- ${DB_PATH_HOST}:${APP_PTH_CONTAINER}
ports:
- 8080:80
working_dir: ${APP_PTH_CONTAINER}
db:
image: mysql
command: --default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password
restart: always
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: 1
volumes:
- ${DB_PATH_HOST}:/var/lib/mysql
adminer:
image: adminer
restart: always
ports:
- 8080:8080
composer:
image: composer:1.6
volumes:
- ${DB_PATH_HOST}:${APP_PTH_CONTAINER}
working_dir: ${APP_PTH_CONTAINER}
command: composer install
/web/Dockerfile.yml :
FROM php:7.2-apache
RUN docker-php-ext-install \
pdo_mysql \
&& a2emod \
rewrite
Compiling, I have error:
serge@serge:/mnt/_work_sdb8/wwwroot/lar/DockerApps/votes_docker$ docker-compose up --build

I know that *.py that is python language files, but I do not use python language or work with it.
How to fix it ?
Thanks!
You could try changing your docker-compose.yml
web:
context: ./web
build: Dockerfile.yml
...
https://github.com/docker/compose/issues/5513#issuecomment-354188216
The python errors are coming from the docker commands you are using
Thank you! I fixed error syntax, but I tried again and got error :

I tried to check related ports and got:

How to fix it ?
Looks like that was error that I had to specify other ports for adminer.
I fixed it and got next:

Is there any reason you need to you use docker as you seem to be struggling quite a bit. If you need a development environment why not look at homestead or valet. There's an official valet for linux
If you need to use docker you might be better using something like
If you are just trying to learn more about docker then you are going to have start reading the output of the commands your running and figure out what it means. E.g. you are getting mbind operation not permitted which from Google gives you some useful acvice/next steps
Thank you for your feedback! I wrote mysql version in my config file and added command option:
image: mysql:5.7.23
command: --default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password --disable-partition-engine-check
and this error was fixed. So :
sudo service apache2 stop
sudo service mysql stop

I have no errors in output, but I expected as result to have vendor directory in my project, as I have in web/Dockerfile.yml :
FROM php:7.2-apache
RUN docker-php-ext-install \
pdo_mysql \
&& a2enmod \
rewrite
But I do not see this directory... The installation was not successful ?
I am not sure where to move next?

Do you think they are more simple in use ?
@mstdmstd - I would look at https://cpriego.github.io/valet-linux/ first as it should give you everything you need for a local development setup with minimal setup. If you want to skill up on docker the following is a good place to start
