DevOps Projects without Dockerfile | Buildpacks

Deploying a PHP "Hello World" project using Buildpacks on Windows without a Dockerfile is a great way to streamline your DevOps workflow. Buildpacks automatically detect and build your application, making it easier to deploy without manually writing a Dockerfile. Here's how you can do it:

Prerequisites

Windows Environment: Ensure you have a Windows machine set up for development.

PHP Installed: Install PHP on your Windows machine.

Git: Install Git for version control.

Docker Desktop: Install Docker Desktop for Windows to use Buildpacks.

Pack CLI: Install the pack CLI, which is used to work with Buildpacks.

Create a PHP Hello World Project

Create a new directory for your project:

mkdir php-helloworld
cd php-helloworld
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Create an index.php file with the following content:

<?php
echo "Hello, World!";
?>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Install the Buildpacks:

choco install pack
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Create a Build:

pack build --builder=gcr.io/buildpacks/builder:v1 php-helloworld
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Run the Container

Run the container locally using Docker:

docker run -p 8080:8080 php-helloworld
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080. You should see "Hello, World!" displayed.
