Creating Avocado application from template ​

Requirements ​

  • PHP version 8.1 or higher
  • Docker version with compose

In this section we will create your first app using Avocado 8.0 and Apache server. All what you need is Docker and PHP.

To initialize project using template you need to run the following command in your terminal (without > sign that only means that is command):

bash
composer create-project hubert/avocado-docker-apache2-template demo -s dev

Then when installed successfully enter into directory (if you used other project name replace demo with that name):

bash
cd demo

update project:

bash
composer update --ignore-platform-reqs

and you can run container:

bash
docker compose up --build

That's all, when you go to localhost should be visible json array such

json
[
  "Hello world"
]

Using XAMPP ​

If you are using XAMPP packet you can simply create project like in previous section but in XAMPP htdocs directory:

  • On Windows that should be C:/xampp/htdocs/,
  • default Linux XAMPP htdocs directory is /opt/lampp/htdocs/

And your app should be on https://127.0.0.1/demo/ (if you used other project name only replace demo with that name).

Clean Apache2 ​

You need create VirtualHost and give location to your app.

Sample VirtualHost configuration is following:

apache
<VirtualHost :80>
    ServerName          localhost
    DocumentRoot        /path/to/your/project # in many cases it's /var/www/html

    <Directory /path/to/your/project>
        AllowOverride   All
        Require         all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
