Xdebug was attempting to connect to a debug client on every PHP execution during Docker builds (e.g., pecl install, version checks), generating connection warnings despite no client being available.

Changes

Xdebug Configuration

  • Changed xdebug.start_with_request from yes to trigger for Xdebug 3 (PHP 7.3, 7.4, 8.x)
  • Ensured xdebug.remote_autostart=0 for Xdebug 2 (PHP ≤7.2)
  • Updated: php-fpm/Dockerfile, workspace/Dockerfile*, workspace/xdebug.ini
  • Added explanatory comments in all Dockerfiles
  • Improved sed pattern: Updated all Dockerfiles to use consistent regex pattern s/xdebug\.\(remote_port\|client_port\)=[0-9]*/xdebug.client_port=${XDEBUG_PORT}/ that handles both Xdebug 2 and Xdebug 3 port syntax

Documentation

  • README.md: Complete restructure with emojis, better organization, comprehensive examples for all common tasks, extensive troubleshooting section, and detailed Xdebug setup guides for PHPStorm and VS Code
  • Created "Setting Up Your First Project" guide: Step-by-step beginner-friendly instructions for setting up InvoicePlane v1, including:
    • Project directory preparation
    • Environment configuration
    • Nginx site configuration (copying and customizing sites/ivplv1.conf)
    • Removing /public from root path for InvoicePlane v1
    • Hosts file setup
    • Docker startup, verification, and troubleshooting
    • Written in simple, accessible language
  • Created .junie/guidelines.md: 200+ line comprehensive development guidelines covering workflow, code standards, testing, security, and best practices
  • Created .github/copilot-instructions.md: 300+ line AI coding assistant guidelines with Dockerfile best practices, common tasks, and development standards
  • Added Xdebug trigger mode usage (environment variable, query param, cookie, IDE)
  • Documented Docker build layer caching behavior for dependent services

Behavior

Xdebug now activates only when explicitly triggered:

# CLI debugging
XDEBUG_TRIGGER=1 php artisan test

# Web debugging  
?XDEBUG_TRIGGER=1

Build warnings eliminated while preserving full debugging capability at runtime.

Benefits

  • ✅ Eliminates build-time Xdebug warnings
  • ✅ Comprehensive documentation for contributors
  • ✅ Clear onboarding guides and troubleshooting
  • ✅ Beginner-friendly setup instructions for InvoicePlane
  • ✅ Consistent Xdebug port handling across all Dockerfiles
  • ✅ Established coding standards and best practices
  • ✅ Improved developer experience
Original prompt

I'm very happy and i'm getting green tests. Building for example beanstalkd truggers the build of php-fpm and workspace. Can that be cached somehow? That when i just tested php-fpm and trigger beanstalkd that php-fpm doesn't need to get rebuilt?

🧹 Nitpick comments (4)
.docker/php-fpm/Dockerfile (1)

257-259: Consider removing the no-op sed command on line 257.

Line 257 replaces xdebug.remote_autostart=0 with the same value, which has no effect. While this may be intentional to ensure the setting exists, it adds confusion.

🔎 Simplify by removing the redundant sed command
 ;else \
-  sed -i "s/xdebug.remote_autostart=0/xdebug.remote_autostart=0/" /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/xdebug.ini && \
   sed -i "s/xdebug.remote_enable=0/xdebug.remote_enable=1/" /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/xdebug.ini \
 ;fi

The base xdebug.ini file already contains xdebug.remote_autostart=0, so the transformation is unnecessary. If you want to be explicit about keeping autostart disabled for older PHP versions, consider adding a comment instead.

.docker/workspace/Dockerfile.81 (1)

308-310: Consider removing redundant logic for PHP 8.1-specific Dockerfile.

Since this is Dockerfile.81 (presumably for PHP 8.1 only), the else branch for Xdebug 2 (older PHP) will never execute. Additionally, line 308 is a no-op sed command.

🔎 Simplify the conditional or remove it entirely

If this Dockerfile is used exclusively for PHP 8.1, you could simplify:

-# Configure Xdebug settings based on PHP version
-# For Xdebug 3 (PHP 7.3+, 7.4, 8.x): Use trigger mode to prevent connection warnings during build
-# For Xdebug 2 (older PHP): Keep autostart disabled to prevent connection warnings during build
-RUN if [ $(php -r "echo PHP_MAJOR_VERSION;") = "8" ] || { [ $(php -r "echo PHP_MAJOR_VERSION;") = "7" ] && { [ $(php -r "echo PHP_MINOR_VERSION;") = "4" ] || [ $(php -r "echo PHP_MINOR_VERSION;") = "3" ] ;} ;}; then \
+# Configure Xdebug 3 settings to use trigger mode (prevents connection warnings during build)
+RUN \
   sed -i "s/xdebug.remote_host=/xdebug.client_host=/" /etc/php/${IVPLDOCK_PHP_VERSION}/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini && \
   sed -i "s/xdebug.remote_connect_back=0/xdebug.discover_client_host=false/" /etc/php/${IVPLDOCK_PHP_VERSION}/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini && \
   sed -i "s/xdebug.remote_port=9000/xdebug.client_port=${XDEBUG_PORT}/" /etc/php/${IVPLDOCK_PHP_VERSION}/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini && \
   sed -i "s/xdebug.profiler_enable=0/; xdebug.profiler_enable=0/" /etc/php/${IVPLDOCK_PHP_VERSION}/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini && \
   sed -i "s/xdebug.profiler_output_dir=/xdebug.output_dir=/" /etc/php/${IVPLDOCK_PHP_VERSION}/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini && \
   sed -i "s/xdebug.remote_mode=req/; xdebug.remote_mode=req/" /etc/php/${IVPLDOCK_PHP_VERSION}/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini && \
   sed -i "s/xdebug.remote_autostart=0/xdebug.start_with_request=trigger/" /etc/php/${IVPLDOCK_PHP_VERSION}/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini && \
-  sed -i "s/xdebug.remote_enable=0/xdebug.mode=debug/" /etc/php/${IVPLDOCK_PHP_VERSION}/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini \
-;else \
-  sed -i "s/xdebug.remote_autostart=0/xdebug.remote_autostart=0/" /etc/php/${IVPLDOCK_PHP_VERSION}/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini && \
-  sed -i "s/xdebug.remote_enable=0/xdebug.remote_enable=1/" /etc/php/${IVPLDOCK_PHP_VERSION}/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini \
-;fi
+  sed -i "s/xdebug.remote_enable=0/xdebug.mode=debug/" /etc/php/${IVPLDOCK_PHP_VERSION}/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini

Alternatively, if the Dockerfile can be used for multiple PHP versions, consider keeping the conditional but document why.

.docker/workspace/Dockerfile (1)

345-347: Remove the no-op sed command on line 345.

Line 345 replaces xdebug.remote_autostart=0 with the same value, which has no effect. The base xdebug.ini file already sets this to 0, so the command is redundant.

🔎 Simplify by removing the redundant sed command
 ;else \
-  sed -i "s/xdebug.remote_autostart=0/xdebug.remote_autostart=0/" /etc/php/${IVPLDOCK_PHP_VERSION}/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini && \
   sed -i "s/xdebug.remote_enable=0/xdebug.remote_enable=1/" /etc/php/${IVPLDOCK_PHP_VERSION}/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini \
 ;fi
.docker/workspace/Dockerfile.74 (1)

376-376: Consider removing this no-op sed command.

This sed command replaces xdebug.remote_autostart=0 with the identical value xdebug.remote_autostart=0. If the xdebug.ini template already contains this setting with value 0 (which is likely based on the PR context), this line serves no purpose and could be removed for clarity.

🔎 Proposed simplification

If the xdebug.ini template already has xdebug.remote_autostart=0, you can remove this line:

 ;else \
-  sed -i "s/xdebug.remote_autostart=0/xdebug.remote_autostart=0/" /etc/php/${IVPLDOCK_PHP_VERSION}/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini && \
   sed -i "s/xdebug.remote_enable=0/xdebug.remote_enable=1/" /etc/php/${IVPLDOCK_PHP_VERSION}/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini \
 ;fi

Alternatively, if the intent is to ensure this value is explicitly set, consider adding a comment explaining why this safeguard exists.

.docker/workspace/xdebug.ini (1)

6-6: LGTM! Trigger mode configured correctly.

The change from yes to trigger prevents Xdebug from attempting connections during Docker builds while keeping debugging available on demand. This aligns with the PR objective.

README.md (2)

94-111: Clear and helpful Docker caching documentation.

The caching explanation effectively communicates how Docker layer caching works and when rebuilds occur. The example and tips will help users understand build behavior.


112-138: Xdebug documentation is accurate.

XDEBUG_TRIGGER is the correct environment variable for Xdebug 3 trigger mode, supporting environment variables, URL parameters, and cookies as documented. The referenced configuration file paths exist, and port 9003 is correctly configured in the workspace setup.

.docker/php-fpm/Dockerfile (2)

244-246: Clear explanatory comments.

The comments effectively explain the rationale for version-aware configuration and the goal of preventing connection warnings during builds.


247-256: Xdebug 3 configuration logic is correct.

The version detection properly identifies PHP 8.x, 7.4, and 7.3 for Xdebug 3 configuration. The sed transformations correctly convert Xdebug 2 settings to Xdebug 3 equivalents, including the critical switch to trigger mode on line 254.

.docker/workspace/Dockerfile.81 (2)

295-297: Clear explanatory comments.

The comments effectively explain the rationale for version-aware configuration.


298-306: Xdebug 3 configuration is correct.

The version detection and Xdebug 3 transformations are properly implemented, including the trigger mode setup on line 305.

.docker/workspace/Dockerfile (1)

332-334: Clear explanatory comments.

The comments effectively explain the rationale for version-aware configuration.

.docker/workspace/Dockerfile.74 (2)

363-365: LGTM! Clear documentation of the configuration intent.

The comments effectively explain why trigger mode is used (preventing build-time connection warnings) and differentiate between Xdebug versions.


373-373: LGTM! Correct implementation of Xdebug 3 trigger mode.

This change correctly maps Xdebug 2's remote_autostart=0 to Xdebug 3's start_with_request=trigger, which is the core fix for preventing connection warnings during Docker builds while keeping debugging available on demand.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Xdebug 3 configuration mostly correct, with one potential issue.

The version detection and most transformations are correct. However, line 338 attempts to replace xdebug.remote_port=9000 but the base xdebug.ini file already uses xdebug.client_port=9003 (Xdebug 3 syntax), so this sed command won't find a match.

🔎 Consider adjusting the sed pattern on line 338

The base workspace/xdebug.ini file uses Xdebug 3 syntax with xdebug.client_port=9003, so searching for xdebug.remote_port=9000 won't match anything:

-  sed -i "s/xdebug.remote_port=9000/xdebug.client_port=${XDEBUG_PORT}/" /etc/php/${IVPLDOCK_PHP_VERSION}/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini && \
+  sed -i "s/xdebug.client_port=[0-9]*/xdebug.client_port=${XDEBUG_PORT}/" /etc/php/${IVPLDOCK_PHP_VERSION}/cli/conf.d/xdebug.ini && \

This ensures the port is updated even when the base file already uses Xdebug 3 syntax. The same pattern appears in other Dockerfiles and should be updated consistently.

Updated all workspace Dockerfiles to use a better sed pattern that matches both Xdebug 2 (xdebug.remote_port) and Xdebug 3 (xdebug.client_port) syntax:

sed -i "s/xdebug\.\(remote_port\|client_port\)=[0-9]*/xdebug.client_port=${XDEBUG_PORT}/"

This ensures the port gets updated correctly regardless of which version of Xdebug is in the base configuration file.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes Xdebug connection warnings that occurred during Docker builds by changing Xdebug from auto-start mode to trigger mode. The warnings appeared whenever PHP executed during the build process because Xdebug attempted to connect to a debug client that wasn't available.

Key Changes:

  • Changed Xdebug 3 configuration from xdebug.start_with_request=yes to trigger mode
  • Ensured Xdebug 2 configuration keeps xdebug.remote_autostart=0 (disabled)
  • Added comprehensive documentation about Docker build caching and Xdebug trigger mode usage

The workspace/xdebug.ini template uses Xdebug 3 syntax, but the Dockerfiles expect to transform Xdebug 2 syntax placeholders. For PHP versions ≤7.2 that use Xdebug 2, the sed commands in the Dockerfile's else branch (e.g., line 376 in Dockerfile.74) look for 'xdebug.remote_autostart=0' to transform, but this file doesn't contain that placeholder. This means Xdebug 2 configurations won't be properly set. Consider adding Xdebug 2 placeholder settings to this template file (e.g., 'xdebug.remote_autostart=0', 'xdebug.remote_enable=0') so the sed transformations work for older PHP versions, or use separate template files for Xdebug 2 and Xdebug 3.

I'm not using xdebug version 2, but I definitely want everything to work correctly for xdebug version 3

@copilot for the readme:

  • Copy sites/copyme.example.conf tk sites/ivplv1.conf
  • Open sites/ivplv1.conf and replace all 4× "copyme" with ivplv1
    Last one:
  • Open .env.docker (did you copy .env.example to .env.docker)
    It shows the path to your "sites".
    For me that's ~/projects. For you that can be different
    With .env.docker set to ~/projects and ivplv1 being in ~/projects and sites/ivplv1.conf showing that it's going to serve ivplv1 and by starting that Docker thing...

nginx reads the ivplv1.conf and knows where the source is, it's serving ivplv1.test with that source

  • open sites/ivplv1.conf
  • remove /public from that "root" line.
  • stop Docker: CTRL+C will kill Docker for you
  • ./down.sh brings it all down
  • ./starmeup.sh starts Docker again and shows output in your terminal

Make very comprehensible steps for the readme. It needs to be able to explain to my 10 year old sister what to do.

It's still a professional Docker setup for the users of InvoicePlane

in the block that edits xdebug.ini to replace either "xdebug.remote_port=..." or
"xdebug.client_port=..." with "xdebug.client_port=${XDEBUG_PORT}" so the port
gets updated for both Xdebug v2 and v3 configurations.

The workspace/xdebug.ini template uses Xdebug 3 syntax, but the Dockerfiles expect to transform Xdebug 2 syntax placeholders. For PHP versions ≤7.2 that use Xdebug 2, the sed commands in the Dockerfile's else branch (e.g., line 376 in Dockerfile.74) look for 'xdebug.remote_autostart=0' to transform, but this file doesn't contain that placeholder. This means Xdebug 2 configurations won't be properly set. Consider adding Xdebug 2 placeholder settings to this template file (e.g., 'xdebug.remote_autostart=0', 'xdebug.remote_enable=0') so the sed transformations work for older PHP versions, or use separate template files for Xdebug 2 and Xdebug 3.

I'm not using xdebug version 2, but I definitely want everything to work correctly for xdebug version 3

@copilot for the readme:

  • Copy sites/copyme.example.conf tk sites/ivplv1.conf
  • Open sites/ivplv1.conf and replace all 4× "copyme" with ivplv1
    ...

Added a comprehensive "Setting Up Your First Project (InvoicePlane)" section to the README with step-by-step instructions that explain:

✅ Creating the projects directory
✅ Configuring .env.docker
✅ Creating and customizing nginx configuration (sites/ivplv1.conf)
✅ Removing /public from the root path
✅ Adding domain to hosts file
✅ Starting Docker with ./starmeup.sh
✅ Verifying containers are running
✅ Accessing the project at http://ivplv1.test
✅ Stopping Docker with Ctrl+C or ./down.sh
✅ Troubleshooting common issues

The guide is written in simple, clear language with explanations of what's happening at each step.

The configuration is already optimized for Xdebug 3. The workspace/xdebug.ini file uses Xdebug 3 syntax with xdebug.start_with_request=trigger, which is the correct approach. The sed patterns in the Dockerfiles handle both Xdebug 2 and 3 for backward compatibility, but the default configuration and your active setup will use Xdebug 3 settings.
