DAMP

DAMP is a MAMP-like development environment powered by Docker. More specifically DAMP is a CLI that wraps Docker commands to make it easy to setup and run development sites on your local machine (ala Vagrant).

Prerequisites

To be able to use DAMP you must have the following installed on your system:

• Node.js
• Docker Toolbox

Install

Installation is a simple as running:

npm install -g damp-cli

Usage

The first time you run DAMP it will setup and configure the Docker machine for you so all you need to do is run:

damp up

and you will have a working Docker environment setup already. Once damp up has finished you can test that it works by visiting http://damp.dev. DAMP also comes with phpMyAdmin pre-installed at http://phpmyadmin.damp.dev.

You can control the virtual machine using other damp commands such as status, halt, destroy etc. For more information on available commands run damp --help.

Sites

To create a site using DAMP you simply need to run:

damp create-site

You will be asked to give the site a name (used as it's subdomain e.g. http://myapp.damp.dev) and what type of site you would like to create (Static, WordPress etc.). DAMP will then create the site, add the relevant information to your hosts file and attach a volume for your files in your home directory at {HOME}/damp (e.g. {HOME}/damp/myapp).

Removing a site is as simple as running:

damp remove-site

and selecting the site to remove.
