Usage

$ docker run -d -P bylexus/apache-php56

With all the options:

$ docker run -d -p 8080:80 \
    -v /home/user/webroot:/var/www \
    -e PHP_ERROR_REPORTING='E_ALL & ~E_STRICT' \
    bylexus/apache-php56

• -v [local path]:/var/www maps the container's webroot to a local path
• -p [local port]:80 maps a local port to the container's HTTP port 80
• -e PHP_ERROR_REPORTING=[php error_reporting settings] sets the value of error_reporting in the php.ini files.

docker logs -f container-id
