On his site Robert Basic covers a useful site for the PHP developers out there using (or wanting to use) Docker for their development. In this post he talks about the PHPDocker.io service that allows for the easy creation of a Dockerfile customized to the needs of your own environment.

Recently I’ve been also learning a bit more about PHPDocker.io.

He includes an example of the Docker configuration that's output from the service for a simple webserver+MySQL+PHP-FPM setup. He also includes a small update to allow the MySQL server to store its data on the local system rather than inside the container (where it would be lost on each build).
