Let’s deploy Linode LAMP using a Dockerfile in this article. With our Docker Hosting Support Services, we can offer answers to your Docker issues.

How to deploy Linode LAMP using a Dockerfile?

Docker, an application container platform allows users to download apps that are already installed and configured. Before going on with the process, we need to run an extra step to set up the pre-requisites:

Run: apt-get install dmsetup && dmsetup mknodes

Once we complete it, we’ve to run the below steps to deploy Linode LAMP in the Dockerfile:

1. Setup Docker

2. Get the Docker Lamp image

3. Run Apache, MySQL, and the Docker container

Setup Docker

1. Firstly, run the below command:

curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh

2. Include the non-root user in the “docker” group if needed:

sudo usermod -aG docker example_user

Get the Docker Lamp image

1. This link will take us to Linode’s user page on Docker Hub. To find out more about the configuration, choose the lamp image.

2. Look for Linode user images:

sudo docker search linode

3. Get the Linode/lamp image:

sudo docker pull linode/lamp

Run Apache, MySQL, and the Docker container

1. There are no active image containers during an image download.

2. Start a new container, create one, or turn it on, then forward port 80:

sudo docker run -p 80:80 -t -i linode/lamp /bin/bash

3. Start Apache as the root user:

service apache2 start

4. Now start MySQL using the below code:

service mysql start

5. Exit the container while leaving it running.

ctrl + p

ctrl + q

6. To test the website, enter the IP address in a web browser.
