Visit Docker and get Docker up and running on your system.

To build a fresh image, just change to the directory containing the checked out files and run the below command:

$ docker-compose build

To start a new container (or rerun your last container) you simply do:

$ docker-compose up

This will stay in the foreground and you will see the log output in your console. You can optionally use the -d option to run the containers in the background instead.

To stop, start and remove the containers that were created from the last run, you can do:

$ docker-compose stop
$ docker-compose start
$ docker-compose rm

Go to the options section of your browser. You will need to update the proxy settings of your browser to point to port 1090 of the IP address of your docker host. In Firefox, this is under 'Privacy and Security'. Then click on 'Connection Settings'. Choose 'Manual proxy configuration'. For 'HTTP Proxy' enter the IP address of the docker host. For Linux this would normally be localhost and for other systems it would be the IP of the VM running docker. And then enter 1090 in the 'Port' field to the right. Click 'OK'.

After you configure you proxy settings as outlined above, you can simply point your browser to http://bmo.test to see the the BMO home page. The bmo.test domain is recognized on the internal Docker network so no need to find out the IP address of the container.

The Administrator login is [email protected] and the password is password123456789!. You can use the Administrator account to creat other users, add products or components, etc.

To access the Phabricator site, point your browser to 'http://phabricator.test'.

The administrator login is admin and the password is password123456789!. You can use this account to create other accounts, projects, etc.

You can access code in the container using docker exec -it bmoextensions_bmo.test_1 bash command. The 'bmoextensions_bmo.test_1' name may vary depending on how you checked out the GitHub repo code and what the name of the checkout directory is.

Once you have logged in to a shell, you should be in the '/app' directory. This is the BMO code root. The Phabricator extension code lives in 'extensions/PhabBugz'. mod_perl is disabled for the webroot so any changes you make should show up immediately on the site. Git is installed so you should be able to use git to create branches, update, and generate diffs as normal. You can use 'docker cp' to copy patches to your local host filesystem as needed. An example workflow may look like:

$ cd /app
$ git status
$ git checkout -b my-feature
$ vi extensions/PhabBugz/Extension.pm (make some changes and save)
$ git add extensions/PhabBugz/Extension.pm
$ git diff --staged > /tmp/my-feature.patch
$ exit
$ d cp bmoextensions_bmo.test_1:/tmp/my-feature.patch ~/my-feature.patch

Then you can upload the patch as needed for review. Or you can create a pull request directly from inside the container.
