• /var/log/httpd, containing Apache log files.
• /var/log/mysql containing MariaDB log files.
• /var/www/html, used as Apache's DocumentRoot directory.
• /var/lib/mysql, where MariaDB data files are stored.
• /etc/apache2, where Apache configuration files are stored.

Please, refer to https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes for more information on using host volumes.

The user and group owner id for the DocumentRoot directory /var/www/html are both 33 (uid=33(www-data) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data)).

The user and group owner id for the MariaDB directory /var/log/mysql are 105 and 108 repectively (uid=105(mysql) gid=108(mysql) groups=108(mysql)).

Use cases

Create a temporary container for testing purposes:

	docker run -i -t --rm fauria/lamp bash

Create a temporary container to debug a web app:

	docker run --rm -p 8080:80 -e LOG_STDOUT=true -e LOG_STDERR=true -e LOG_LEVEL=debug -v /my/data/directory:/var/www/html fauria/lamp

Create a container linking to another MySQL container:

	docker run -d --link my-mysql-container:mysql -p 8080:80 -v /my/data/directory:/var/www/html -v /my/logs/directory:/var/log/httpd --name my-lamp-container fauria/lamp

Get inside a running container and open a MariaDB console:

	docker exec -i -t my-lamp-container bash
	mysql -u root
