Build & run a container using docker

1. Jump into the container directory with cd GitlabRunner/php
2. Build the container using docker build -t startx-php .
3. Run this container
4. Interactively with docker run -it startx-php. If you add a second parameter (like /bin/bash) to will run this command instead of the default entrypoint. Usefull to interact with this container (ex: /bin/bash, /bin/ps -a, /bin/df -h,...)
5. As a daemon with docker run -d -p 9213:8080 startx-php

Build & run a container using docker-compose

1. Jump into the container directory with cd GitlabRunner/php
2. Run this container
3. Interactively with docker-compose up Startup logs appears and escaping this command stop the container
4. As a daemon with docker-compose up -d. Container startup logs can be read using docker-compose logs
