How fast can I transfer my docker env to nanbox?

Depends on exactly what you need, but generally, it doesn't take long. What are you running?

mehedih 2017-08-23 16:27:39 UTC #3

codeigniter and mysql database
and some php.ini modifications

sanderson 2017-08-23 16:27:50 UTC #4

Oh, shouldn't take long at all.

mehedih 2017-08-23 16:27:58 UTC #5

thanks

sanderson 2017-08-23 16:28:07 UTC #6

What kind of ini modifications?

mehedih 2017-08-23 16:28:14 UTC #7

max upload post size etc.

sanderson 2017-08-23 16:28:26 UTC #8

The reason I ask is because our PHP engine builds the ini for you based off settings in your boxfile.yml

mehedih 2017-08-23 16:28:49 UTC #9

ah, ok sounds realy nice

Our codeigniter guides will get your started: https://guides.nanobox.io/php/codeigniter/
The process is essentially this:
Add a boxfile.yml that tells nanobox what your project needs and how it should be configured.
Update your database connection to use the auto-generated environment variables
That's about it.
If you'd like, I'm happy to walk through the process with you.

So this boxfile will give you a basic setup for a fresh CI install:
run.config:
engine: php
engine.config:
runtime: php-7.0
document_root: public
extensions:
- mysqli

data.db:
image: nanobox/mysql:5.6

web.main:
start: php-server
writable_dirs:
- tmp/cache
that probably doesn't look great in our chat client Let me link you a gist.

boxfile.yml

run.config:
  engine: php
  engine.config:
    runtime: php-7.0
    document_root: public
    extensions:
      - mysqli
    post_max_size: '500M'
    upload_max_filesize: '500M'

What do you need your max upload post size set to?

mehedih 2017-08-23 16:29:38 UTC #12

500
where do I need to add this file? in the root of codeigniter?

I've cloned this https://github.com/nanobox-quickstarts/nanobox-codeigniter#readme

sanderson 2017-08-23 16:30:01 UTC #13

Yep, in the root of your project.
Oh cool. So that'll definitely get you started. I just updated that gist^ with the post and upload settings.

mehedih 2017-08-23 16:30:15 UTC #14

ah i see it

what about if I want to use phpmyadmin with my app?

sanderson 2017-08-23 16:35:37 UTC #15

You'll have to include the phpMyAdmin in your code, then access in a browser. This generally isn't recommended since we can't guarantee the security of phpMyAdmin.

mehedih 2017-08-23 16:35:47 UTC #16

ah, I would use this only for my local dev environment

sanderson 2017-08-23 16:35:56 UTC #17

Gotcha. You could have a locally running install of phpMyAdmin and connect to your locally running db.

mehedih 2017-08-23 16:36:07 UTC #18

also via nanobox?

sanderson 2017-08-23 16:36:17 UTC #19

It's been a while since I used phpMyAdmin. Do they let you specify the host to connect to?

mehedih 2017-08-23 16:36:31 UTC #20

i think they do
