Docker app installer

install_php72_base_docker.sh

A helper.sh-hosted script that creates the /data/php7.2 layout, writes a baseline php.ini, pulls php:7.2-fpm, and runs a restartable container with mounted application code, config, and logs.

One-liner

curl -fsSL helper.sh/install_php72_base_docker.sh | sudo bash

wget -qO- helper.sh/install_php72_base_docker.sh | sudo bash

Requirements

Linux host
Docker installed and running
root privileges or sudo
Port 9000 available
/data writable on the host

Best for

Bring up a PHP 7.2 runtime quickly on a Docker-ready host
Keep PHP code, config, and logs under /data/php7.2 on the host
Provide a reviewed bootstrap path for legacy PHP 7.2 applications before wiring Nginx or another web server in front

Highlights

Creates /data/php7.2/www, conf.d, and logs automatically
Pulls php:7.2-fpm and runs it as a restartable container
Writes a baseline php.ini with practical defaults
Adds a placeholder index.php so the runtime has an immediate test file

Recommended procedure

Confirm Docker is already installed and the host can expose port 9000.
Run the helper.sh command with sudo or as root.
Let the script prepare /data/php7.2, pull php:7.2-fpm, and create the container.
Mount or point Nginx to the PHP-FPM container later if you need HTTP access beyond container-side PHP checks.

Safety notes

PHP 7.2 is legacy software. Use it only when application compatibility requires it.
Do not expose a legacy PHP stack to the public internet without a reviewed fronting web server and patch plan.
Back up /data/php7.2 before replacing or rebuilding a production container.
