Somewhere in the near future I want to build a new website with PHP. In the past I installed XAMPP (which installs a web server (Apache), a database (MySQL/MariaDB), and PHP) and worked from there.
How would you install a PHP development environment (Apache, MySQL, PHP) on Silverblue? Is there already a container which includes all these applications (is there a XAMPP container?) ? Or do I need to enter Fedora Toolbox and install XAMPP in there?
I think using Fedora Toolbox is the way to go to install a local development environment (Apache, MySQL, PHP)? Could I access a website that I build in the Fedora toolbox, in my browser outside of it? How would you do it on Fedora Silverblue?
You should be able to run your whole XAMPP environment inside one or multiple unprivileged podman containers, sharing the www folder with a folder in your home directory and then using development tools from inside a toolbox to edit the code.
There doesn’t already exist a XAMPP container that I could use?
How can you use development tools from inside a container (for example GNOME Builder)? Is that possible? Do you know a good source where I can find more information?
We use a docker-compose file and it’s pretty handy when you want to reinstall your OS. You just need to run docker-compose and BAM you have redis, nginx, php, npm, etc all setup and connected on a network. Highly recommend. To be honest, I haven’t figured out how to use podman permissions, so I still use docker though.
