FYI, we have decided to switch our contributions to the new repository https://github.com/mage2click/docker-magento-mutagen
Originally, our custom branches in the forked repo were based on Markโs repo, but we have done a lot of changes which makes it not backward compatible.

I created a free course which details the basic usage of this project:

Setup a Magento 2 Development Environment with Docker
View Dockerfiles:
This configuration is intended to be used as a Docker-based development environment for Magento 2.
Folders:
images: Docker images for nginx and phpcompose: sample setups with Docker Compose
The Magento 1 version of this development environment has been deprecated and is no longer supported. PHP 5 was used as it's base, and that version has reached end-of-life. If you still wish to use this setup, please reference compose/magento-1 on tag 20.1.1, but please be aware these images are no longer maintained.
This setup assumes you are running Docker on a computer with at least 4GB of allocated RAM, a dual-core, and an SSD hard drive. Download & Install Docker Community Edition.
This configuration has been tested on Mac & Linux.
Windows Configurations: The Windows configuration does not currently work and is in need of a contributor to get functional once again. Please see issue 100 to contribute.
macOS & Linux Only
Run this automated one-liner from the directory you want to install your project to:
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/markshust/docker-magento/master/lib/onelinesetup | bash -s -- magento2.test 2.3.1curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mage2click/docker-magento/develop/lib/onelinesetup | bash -s -- mage2click.test 2.3.1or use the following command to install from the zip file downloaded from magento.com :
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mage2click/docker-magento/develop/lib/onelinesetup | bash -s -- mage2click.test /path/to/magento.zip liteThe magento2.test above defines the hostname to use, and the /path/to/magento.zip defines the local path to Magento zip archive.
The lite param at the end means that we do not need to execute composer install during the setup because zip version of magento already have all needed files in the vendor folder
Note that since we need a write to /etc/hosts for DNS resolution, you will be prompted for your system password during setup.
After the one-liner above completes running, you should be able to access your site at https://magento2.test.
Same result as the one-liner above. Just replace magento2.test references with the hostname that you wish to use.

bin/bash: Drop into the bash prompt of your Docker container. Thephpfpmcontainer should be mainly used to access the filesystem within Docker.bin/dev-urn-catalog-generate: Generate URN's for PHPStorm and remap paths to local host. Restart PHPStorm after running this command.bin/cli: Run any CLI command without going into the bash prompt. Ex.bin/cli lsbin/clinotty: Run any CLI command with no TTY. Ex.bin/clinotty chmod u+x bin/magentobin/composer: Run the composer binary. Ex.bin/composer installbin/copyfromcontainer: Copy folders or files from container to host. Ex.bin/copyfromcontainer vendorbin/copytocontainer: Copy folders or files from host to container. Ex.bin/copytocontainer --allbin/download: Download & extract specific Magento version to thesrcdirectory. Ex.bin/download 2.3.1bin/fixowns: This will fix filesystem ownerships within the container.bin/fixperms: This will fix filesystem permissions within the container.bin/grunt: Run the grunt binary. Note that this runs the version from the node_modules directory for project version parity. Ex.bin/grunt execbin/magento: Run the Magento CLI. Ex:bin/magento cache:flushbin/node: Run the node binary. Ex.bin/node --versionbin/npm: Run the npm binary. Ex.bin/npm installbin/redis: Run a command from the redis container. Exbin/redis redis-cli monitorbin/remove: Remove all containers.bin/removevolumes: Remove all volumes.bin/restart: Stop and then start all containers.bin/root: Run any CLI command as root without going into the bash prompt. Exbin/root apt-get install nanobin/rootnotty: Run any CLI command as root with no TTY. Exbin/rootnotty chown -R app:app /var/www/htmlbin/setup: Run the Magento setup process to install Magento from the source code, with optional domain name. Defaults tomagento2.test. Ex.bin/setup magento2.testbin/start: Start all containers, good practice to use this instead ofdocker-compose up -d, as it may contain additional helpers.bin/status: Check the container status.bin/stop: Stop all containers.bin/varnish: Run commands in the Varnish container. Exbin/varnish varnishlog -q 'ReqURL ~ "^/$"'to monitor requests to homepage, orbin/vanirsh varnishlog -g request -q 'ReqMethod eq "PURGE"'to monitor PURGE requestsbin/xdebug: Disable or enable Xdebug. Accepts paramsdisable(default) orenable. Ex.bin/xdebug enable
The hostname of each service is the name of the service within the docker-compose.yml file. So for example, MySQL's hostname is db (not localhost) when accessing it from within a Docker container. Elasticsearch's hostname is elasticsearch.
Here's an example of how to connect to the MySQL cli tool of the Docker instance:
bin/cli mysql -h db -umagento -pmagento magento
You can use the bin/clinotty helper script to import a database. This example uses the root MySQL user, and looks for the dbdump.sql file in your local host directory:
bin/clinotty mysql -h db -u root -pmagento magento < dbdump.sql
First setup Magento Marketplace authentication (details in the DevDocs).
Copy src/auth.json.sample to src/auth.json. Then, update the username and password values with your Magento public and private keys, respectively. Finally, copy the file to the container by running bin/copytocontainer auth.json.
Redis is now the default cache and session storage engine, and is automatically configured & enabled when running bin/setup on new installs.
Use the following lines to enable Redis on existing installs:
Enable for Cache:
bin/magento setup:config:set --cache-backend=redis --cache-backend-redis-server=redis --cache-backend-redis-db=0
Enable for Session:
bin/magento setup:config:set --session-save=redis --session-save-redis-host=redis --session-save-redis-log-level=4 --session-save-redis-db=1
You may also monitor Redis by running: bin/redis redis-cli monitor
For more information about Redis usage with Magento, see the DevDocs.
Install and enable the PHP Debug extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace.
Otherwise, this project now automatically sets up Xdebug support with VS Code. If you wish to set this up manually, please see the .vscode/launch.json file.
-
First, install the Chrome Xdebug helper. After installed, right click on the Chrome icon for it and go to Options. Under IDE Key, select PHPStorm from the list and click Save.
-
Next, enable Xdebug in the PHP-FPM container by running:
bin/xdebug enable, the restart the docker containers (CTRL+C thenbin/start). -
Then, open
PHPStorm > Preferences > Languages & Frameworks > PHPand configure:-
CLI Interpreter- Create a new interpreter and specify
From Docker, and name itmarkoshust/magento-php:7-2-fpm. - Choose
Docker, then select themarkoshust/magento-php:7-2-fpmimage name, and set thePHP Executabletophp.
- Create a new interpreter and specify
-
Path mappings- Don't do anything here as the next
Docker containerstep will automatically setup a path mapping from/var/www/htmlto./src.
- Don't do anything here as the next
-
Docker container- Remove any pre-existing volume bindings.
- Ensure a volume binding has been setup for Container path of
/var/www/htmlmapped to the Host path of./src.

Check theFilter debug connection by IDE keycheckbox, select the server you just setup, and under IDE Key enterPHPSTORM. This IDE Key should match the IDE Key set by the Chrome Xdebug Helper. Then click OK to finish setting up the remote debugger in PHPStorm. -
Open up
src/pub/index.php, and set a breakpoint near the end of the file. Go toRun > Debug 'magento2.test', and open up a web browser. Ensure the Chrome Xdebug helper is enabled by clicking on it > Debug. Navigate to your Magento store URL, and Xdebug within PHPStorm should now trigger the debugger and pause at the toggled breakpoint.
