Painful slow docker PHP setup on Windows - php

Question

I run Docker for Windows with Hyper-V, 4 cores and 8GB RAM but page loads of my PHP project are in the order of 40 seconds per page.
My setup uses self signed certificates, but I think the problem is related to something else.
During my docker build I get the following warning:
---> Running in 46329f96a79f
Restarting Apache httpd web server: apache2[Mon Jun 11 09:17:26.151516 2018] [ssl:warn] [pid 23] AH01906: localhost:443:0 server certificate is a CA certificate (BasicConstraints: CA == TRUE !?)
[Mon Jun 11 09:17:26.151605 2018] [ssl:warn] [pid 23] AH01909: localhost:443:0 server certificate does NOT include an ID which matches the server name
Since non-https pages load also very slow, I think it is something else.
My Docker file is as follows
FROM php:5.6-apache
COPY server.crt /etc/apache2/ssl/server.crt
COPY server.key /etc/apache2/ssl/server.key
RUN docker-php-ext-install pdo pdo_mysql mysqli
RUN apt-get update &&\
apt-get install --no-install-recommends --assume-yes --quiet ca-certificates
curl git &&\
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
RUN curl -Lsf 'https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.8.3.linux-
amd64.tar.gz' | tar -C '/usr/local' -xvzf -
ENV PATH /usr/local/go/bin:$PATH
RUN go get github.com/mailhog/mhsendmail
RUN cp /root/go/bin/mhsendmail /usr/bin/mhsendmail
RUN echo 'sendmail_path = /usr/bin/mhsendmail --smtp-addr mailhog:1025' >
/usr/local/etc/php/php.ini
COPY ./ /var/www/html/
RUN echo "ServerName localhost" >> /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
RUN a2enmod rewrite
RUN a2enmod ssl
COPY dev.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/dev.conf
RUN service apache2 restart
EXPOSE 80
EXPOSE 443
When I click a link, it shows Waiting... in de browser bar for ~40sec, but showing the page content itself is pretty fast
Could it be a DNS issue?

I will share with you my docker settings using PHP + Redis + MySQL + Nginx, see if it will be useful for you!
My Dockerfile
FROM php:7.1-fpm
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y zlib1g-dev \
libjpeg-dev \
libpng-dev \
libfreetype6-dev
# Add Microsoft repo for Microsoft ODBC Driver 13 for Linux
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
apt-transport-https \
&& curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | apt-key add - \
&& curl https://packages.microsoft.com/config/debian/8/prod.list > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mssql-release.list \
&& apt-get update
# Install Dependencies
RUN ACCEPT_EULA=Y apt-get install -y \
unixodbc \
unixodbc-dev \
libgss3 \
odbcinst \
msodbcsql \
locales \
&& echo "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" > /etc/locale.gen && locale-gen
RUN pecl install pdo_sqlsrv-4.1.8preview sqlsrv-4.1.8preview \
&& docker-php-ext-enable pdo_sqlsrv sqlsrv
RUN ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsybdb.a /usr/lib/
RUN docker-php-ext-install pdo_mysql
RUN docker-php-ext-install zip
RUN mkdir -p /code
ENV HOME=/code
WORKDIR $HOME
USER root
COPY ./ $HOME
In this docker file has an SQLServer connection plugin too (I have many projects that I have integrated with it).
Now my docker-compose.yml
web:
container_name: your_web_container_name
image: nginx
ports:
- "80:80"
volumes:
- ./:/code
- ./host.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf
links:
- php:php
redis:
container_name: your_redis_container_name
image: redis
php:
container_name: your_php_container_name
build: ./
dockerfile: ./Dockerfile
volumes:
- ./:/code
links:
- db
- redis
db:
container_name: your_database_container_name
image: mysql:5.6
volumes:
- /var/lib/mysql
ports:
- "3306:3306"
environment:
- MYSQL_USER=docker
- MYSQL_DATABASE=docker
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=docker
- MYSQL_PASSWORD=docker
The default.conf of the nginx:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
root /var/www/public;
add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";
index index.html index.htm index.php;
charset utf-8;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9001;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location ~ /\.(?!well-known).* {
deny all;
}
}
I hope it could be helpful to you.
