Deploy a full stack LAMP environment (Linux, eNGINX, MySQL, and PHP) on a single VM.

LAMP template

The LAMP template is an IBM Cloud Schematics template that is used to create a virtual server instance (VSI) and configure it with the "LAMP" stack: Linux, Apache, MySQL (mariadb), and PHP. Schematics uses Terraform as the infrastructure-as-code engine. With this template, you can create and manage infrastructure as a single unit.

For more information about how to use the template, see the IBM Cloud Schematics documentation.

Costs

This sample uses chargeable services and you are charged for the time the services are deployed. Running the terraform destroy command deletes all resources, including the IBM Cloud database service instance. Billing for virtual server instances (VSIs) and IBM Cloud database terminates on the hour.

Dependencies

The user must have Identity and Access Management (IAM) access to create and configure an IBM Cloud database instance and VSIs.

Configuring your deployment values

Set the following variables before you use the template:

• softlayer_username is a the infrastructure user name. Go to Access (IAM) > Users, and select your name. Then, verify the user name is listed in the VPN password section.
• softlayer_api_key is a classic infrastructure API key. Go to Access (IAM) > Users, and select your name. Then, verify that a classic infrastructure API key is included in the API keys section. If you don't have one already, you can create one from the IBM Cloud API keys page.

You must also set the following deployment values on the Create page. You can enter customized values or accept the defaults.

Variable Name	Description	Default Value
cores	The number of CPU cores to allocate.	1
datacenter	The data center to create resources in, for example, dal13. To get a list of all data centers, run the ic sl vs options command.	wdc01
disk_size	The numeric disk sizes in GB for the instance’s block device and disk image settings.	25
domain	The domain for the instance, for example, domain.dev	domain.dev
hostname	The hostname for the instance, for example, vm1	lamp
memory	The amount of memory in MB to allocate.	1026
network_speed	The connection speed in Mbps for the instance’s network components.	100
os_reference_code	The code that is used to provision the computing instance. To see available OS reference codes, log in to the IBM Cloud Infrastructure (SoftLayer) API.	CENTOS_LATEST_64
private_network_only	Enter true or false. True means a compute instance has access only to the private network.	false
softlayer_api_key	Enter your classic infrastructure API key. See the IBM Cloud API keys page to get the details of an existing API key or to create a new one.
softlayer_username	Enter your classic infrastructure user name. Go to Access (IAM) > Users, and select your name. Then, locate your user name from the VPN password section.
ssh_key	Your public SSH key to access the virtual machine. Your public key is saved to a id_rsa.pub file in the .ssh subdirectory of your home directory.
ssh_label	An identifying label to assign to the SSH key.	public ssh key - Schematics VM
ssh_notes	A description to assign to the SSH key.
ssh_user	The default user name for the virtual machine, for example, the "root" user for UNIX operating systems.	root
tags	Add descriptive tags to label the resource. A tag is a label that you assign to a resource for easy filtering of resources in your resource list.

Outputs

This template outputs the IPv4 address of the created virtual machine.
