Getting started

Install the Stack and bring it up:

bash

docker-deploy-stack --stack php/php5.6-mysql
cd /root/stack/php/php5.6-mysql
docker compose up -d

Then replace the example application with yours, from Git, via SFTP or from the web file manager, following how-do-i-deploy-an-application-on-a-stack.md. Your code goes in the app/ folder.

Each time you update the code, apply the changes:

bash

docker compose up -d --build
