1. Install Docker Desktop for Windows (x64). https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/windows-install/
2. Open Command Prompt as Administrator and type wsl --update.
3. Install VS Code, use default options, add context to path. https://code.visualstudio.com/
4. Open VS code & update as needed.
5. Unzip https://github.com/NetSamurai/phpMongoDB/archive/refs/heads/main.zip to a folder you want to be the workspace and rename the folder within to phpMongoDB.
6. Open the extracted folder, and right click phpWithMongoDB folder and select Run with (VS) Code.
7. On left pane, click docker-compose.yaml.
8. For first time installs of Visual Studio Code Only, it may ask you in the bottom right corner of Visual Studio code to get Docker and WSL extension for VS Code- click yes. If this is needed, close VS Code after it's done installing, and repeat Step 6 and 7 after.
9. In VS Code, on the top menu bar, open a Terminal > New Terminal.
10. In VS Code terminal, Clear docker cache by running:

docker system prune -f
docker image prune -a -f
docker volume prune -f

• Note: This step is only neccessary because this example I built is of an interactive docker build and not a stored image.

11. Inside the VS Code Terminal, issue the start command docker compose up -d.
12. If any firewall stuff pops up right now click Allow / Yes. You now have a server.
13. http://localhost:8000/ is your website.
14. http://localhost:8081/ is your database frontend - admin/pass is the HTTP basic auth. admin/password is the MongoDB login.
15. In the extracted folder you'll see it added files to the workspace, dont delete those, its the database.
16. Change all desired PHP code in the /app folder.

Notes:

Open your project folder in VSCode, then in the terminal type:

docker exec -it mongodb bash
mongosh mongodb://admin:password@mongodb:27017

First command goes inside your docker container of MongoDB, the second one, from within that container, goes inside mongo itself. Once in a container exit will bring you back to the previous scope.

This is not a production ready docker build for this stack, it's merely a scaffolding for development and testing.
