## TL;DR

### Local workspace

```console
mkdir ~/myapp && cd ~/myapp
curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/containers/main/bitnami/codeigniter/docker-compose.yml
docker-compose up
```

**Warning**: This quick setup is only intended for development environments. You are encouraged to change the insecure default credentials and check out the available configuration options for the [MariaDB container](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/blob/main/bitnami/mariadb#readme) for a more secure deployment.

## Why use Bitnami Images?

* Bitnami closely tracks upstream source changes and promptly publishes new versions of this image using our automated systems.
* With Bitnami images the latest bug fixes and features are available as soon as possible.
* Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
* All our images are based on [minideb](https://github.com/bitnami/minideb) a minimalist Debian based container image which gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading Linux distribution.
* All Bitnami images available in Docker Hub are signed with [Docker Content Trust (DCT)](https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/trust/content_trust/). You can use `DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST=1` to verify the integrity of the images.
* Bitnami container images are released on a regular basis with the latest distribution packages available.

## Supported tags and respective `Dockerfile` links

Learn more about the Bitnami tagging policy and the difference between rolling tags and immutable tags [in our documentation page](https://docs.bitnami.com/tutorials/understand-rolling-tags-containers/).

You can see the equivalence between the different tags by taking a look at the `tags-info.yaml` file present in the branch folder, i.e `bitnami/ASSET/BRANCH/DISTRO/tags-info.yaml`.

## Getting started

The quickest way to get started with the Bitnami CodeIgniter Development Container is using [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/).

Begin by creating a directory for your CodeIgniter application:

```console
mkdir ~/myapp
cd ~/myapp
```

Download the [docker-compose.yml](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/containers/main/bitnami/codeigniter/docker-compose.yml) file in the application directory:

```console
curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/containers/main/bitnami/codeigniter/docker-compose.yml
```

Finally launch the CodeIgniter application development environment using:

```console
docker-compose up
```

The above command creates a container service for CodeIgniter development and bootstraps a new CodeIgniter application, named `myapp` in working directory. You can use your favorite IDE for developing the application.

After the builtin PHP application server has been launched, visit `http://localhost:8000` in your favorite web browser and you'll be greeted the CodeIgniter welcome page.

## Executing commands

Commands can be launched inside the `myapp` CodeIgniter Development Container with `docker-compose` using the [exec](https://docs.docker.com/compose/reference/exec/) command.

> **Note**:
>
> The `exec` command was added to `docker-compose` in release [1.7.0](https://github.com/docker/compose/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#170-2016-04-13). Please ensure that you're using `docker-compose` version `1.7.0` or higher.

The general structure of the `exec` command is:

```console
docker-compose exec <service> <command>
```

where `<service>` is the name of the container service as described in the `docker-compose.yml` file and `<command>` is the command you want to launch inside the service.

Following are a few examples:

* Create a new project named `foo`:

  ```console
  docker-compose run myapp nami execute codeigniter createProject foo
  ```

  Additionally, in the `docker-compose.yml` file you need to update the `CODEIGNITER_PROJECT_NAME` environment variable to `foo` so that the built-in PHP application server serves the application from the `foo` directory.

## Issues

If you encountered a problem running this container, you can file an [issue](https://github.com/bitnami/containers/issues/new). Be sure to include the following information in your issue:

* Host OS and version
* Docker version (`docker version`)
* Output of `docker info`
