Convenience wrapper around the well-known dependency manager, for local development with Docker Compose and PHP. Extends the official PHP composer image with a customizable entrypoint to run composer tasks.

• (Composer base image with adapted entrypoint)

Add a pseudo-service to your Docker Compose configuration, e.g.

  composer:
    image: painless/composer
    volumes:
      - .:/var/www/html

then run

docker-compose run composer <command>

to let Composer modify the project files on your Docker volume.

See docker-compose.override.yml in the Painless Continuous Delivery cookiecutter for an example.
