How to get started with Docker on Windows after Denwer, OSPanel, XAMPP?

Question

Web development

Hello everyone
, I've been developing in PHP for a long time, I work under Windows. For the environment, I first used Denwer, then switched to OpenServer (aka OSPanel). Everything is there out of the box, just run and work. Now the project has a need to work with Docker. How to start, what to watch, what to read? How different is the process of launching and deploying a project? The client gives a link to the container/image to run in Docker. Is there anything from a video on YouTube or somewhere else that explains the essence in simple words and shows the process of work? Thanks for answers.

Answer 2

So the Docker generation has grown up. It is not necessary to transfer containers to the client.
If your application requires some special environment, which is rather strange for a LAMP stack, write better configuration scripts, Ansible, Bash, etc.
If for yourself, then install Linux in the same Virtualbox and work with Docker there.

We use docker + docker-compose only for the web environment, along with the site comes a docker-compose config that we use to raise the project. The same config is used on the intermediate server to raise the environment for tests.
We use this configuration both on Linux and on windows + docker.
Surrounded by several containers, nginx, apache, tools, mysql. Each container has its own version, its own applications, for development we use tools where there are all the necessary tools: composer, xdebug, etc.
