How do I change the location of the www directory? about docker-lamp

Hi,
since you are using the 2.0.0-dev Branch, you can use this solution:
Copy everything in the ./data directory to the directory of your choice.
Change the value in the .env of APP_BASEDIR and enter the absolute path to the directory where you copied the files.
Start the server and everything should work.

You can also copy the .env there, then you have to change to this directory in the terminal and start the docker-lamp server from there using the absolute path.

Example:
The docker-lamp git clone is located in /opt/git/docker-lamp.
You copied everything from /opt/git/docker-lamp/data to /home/$USER/html.
Also in /home/$USER/html now comes the .env.
APP_BASEDIR would then be APP_BASEDIR="/home/$USER/html".
Now change to /home/$USER/html with cd /home/$USER/html and execute the command /opt/git/docker-lamp/docker-lamp start from there.

Hi Guido,

Yes I'm using the 2.0.0-dev Branch. Apologies for not mentioning that explicitly in all my posts.

Although I was looking for relocation of individual sub directories of ./data, this approach seems to be a useful alternative. The main advantage is separation of docker-lamp specific and none specific data, so I will definitely do that. However, I would still like to separate the www directory from the rest. Is there a way to achieve that as well?

This would only be possible if you adjust all configuration files, because the path is always expected inside the container in /srv/www.

So all PHP yml, the Apache yml and all vHosts would have to be adjusted.

You can do this via overrides in ./data, but side effects are not excluded.

Anyway, I would not recommend you to do that.

I already have my own separate branch in my forked repo, so I don't mind some additional customizing :) I'll look into it, to see if I can make it parameterizable, and if it becomes to messy and cumbersome, at least you explained me the alternative. Thanx for that.
