The LAMP stack

LAMP is the software stack on which probably the majority of websites run. Linux represents the foundation of the stack, and the traditional implementation includes Apache as the web server, the MySQL database, and PHP as the server-side programming language. There are, however, many possible variations: MariaDB, for example, is often used in place of MySQL, of which it is a fork, and other programming languages, as Python or Perl can be used instead of PHP. In this article we will see how to implement a basic LAMP stack using docker and the docker-compose utility.
