PHPUnit, PhpStorm and docker-compose

I wanted to run tests with PHPUnit on a docker environment, which was set up with docker-compose, and use the PhpStorm integration. Since PhpStorm 2013.2 there is a docker intergration which works well for single containers, but unfortunately it does not seem to use the running network of containers. So for example my PHP container does not get access to the MySQL container for integration tests.

Setting up KeeAgent was a bit tricky and all instructions I found on the internet were incomplete, so I’ll share how I did it (on Arch Linux with keepass-plugin-keeagent-beta 0.9.1-1). There are two ways to use the plugin: as client for an existing SSH agent or as standalone SSH agent. I choose client mode to always have an SSH agent available.

http://repos.zend.com/deb/zend.key 404 Not Found

If you want to install Zend Server CE on Debian Linux (e.g. Ubuntu Server) with apt-get and follow one of the many installation guides out there you might stumble upon this error, like I did.

http://repos.zend.com/deb/zend.key 404 Not Found

The solution is simple: The URL of the key has changed recently! Use http://repos.zend.com/zend.key and it will be fine!

Of course, the official guide has it right.
