#HOW TO RUN MYSQL DOCKER ON MAC HOW TO#

You needed to know how to configure the web server, how to configure PHP, and you had to go through the process of manually installing and configuring all the software you used. Getting a development environment set up required significant expertise.

Back then, if you were in the minority who didn’t just develop on the live web server (yes, we really did this, yes it was a terrible idea), you would manually install Apache, PHP and MySQL on your development machine.

If, like me, you’re old enough to have been developing websites in the 90s, you’ll remember how frustrating the experience was. Manually installing PHP, MySQL and Apache I’ll quickly recap how things have changed over the years. The “right way” has moved on quite significantly since then. That article is only from 2015, but five or six years is an eon in ever-moving web development timescales. At the time it was a fantastic introduction to the (then) best way to set up a local development environment. Until a couple of years ago, I sent everyone I was teaching to Bruno Skvorc’s excellent article Re-introducing Vagrant: The Right Way to Start with PHP. As a result, a lot of the tutorials get outdated quite quickly.

(How did we ever cope without CSS Grid?) PHP is now on version 8, and even the tools we use to execute PHP scripts are being refined over time.

CSS best practices change as new properties are added to the specification. Some other processes, such as our shared composer and yarn cache could benefit from Docker’s cached option - programs are persisting data, so in this case it might be more important that writes are perfectly replicated to the host.One of the problems with web development is that things change at a rapid pace. Data is only changing when I hit save, and it’s already been replicated via delegated by the time I’ve got a chance to react. I personally default to delegated, as generally our bind-mounted volumes contain source code. However, certain workloads could require increased consistency. The file system delays between the host and the container aren’t perceived by humans. There may be delays until updates within the container appear on the host. There may be delays before writes on a host are available to the container. Every time a write happens, the data is flushed to all participants of the mount’s view. The host and container are perfectly consistent. We can allow for some slight delays, and temporary discrepancies in exchange for greatly increased performance. Docker defaults to a consistent guarantee that the host and containers file system reflect each other.įor the majority of our use cases at Engage we don’t actually need a consistent reflection - perfect consistency between container and host is often unnecessary. One of the biggest performance optimisations you can make, is altering the guarantee that file system data is perfectly replicated to the host and container.

We’ve identified bind-mounts can be slow on Mac ( see above). However, unlike Docker on Linux, any file system changes need to be passed between the host and container via Docker for Mac, which can soon add a lot of additional computational overhead. HyperKit provides the kernel capabilities of Linux. This is a native MacOS application, which is bundled with an embedded hypervisor ( HyperKit). In contrast, there is a much bigger overhead on MacOS and other platforms in keeping the file system consistent - which leads to a performance degradation.ĭocker containers run on top of a Linux kernel meaning Docker on Linux can utilise the native kernel and the underlying virtual file system is shared between the host and container. On Linux, keeping a consistent guaranteed view between the host and container has very little overhead. Any writes in either the host or container are then reflected vice-versa. It gives the container a view of the host’s file system - In literal terms, pointing a particular directory in the container to a directory on your Mac. In Docker, we can bind-mount a volume on the host (your mac), to a Docker container.
