⁠Inspect

To view the Pebble services⁠ and checks⁠ defined in this rock:

docker run --rm ubuntu/php:8.4-25.04_stable plan

⁠Run

To run this rock, use any of the usual container runtimes, for example, docker:

docker run --name php-container \
    ubuntu/php:8.4-25.04_stable \
    exec php <args>

PHP will execute any given instruction, for example running php code from input:

docker run --rm ubuntu/php:8.3-24.04_edge exec php -r "echo 'hello, world! In PHP!';"

Or setting up a php server for development purposes:

docker run -d --rm --name php-container -p 8080:8080 -v /my-app:/app ubuntu/php:8.3-24.04_edge exec php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t /app

A list of all the available options can be queried by running the image with the -h switch.

⁠Get logs

To view the logs of the running container, run:

docker exec php-container pebble logs

Or, for a specific service:

docker exec php-container pebble logs <service>

⁠Monitor health checks

Rocks may have predefined health checks that you can list by running:

docker exec php-container pebble checks

The overall health of your container can be inspected via:

docker exec php-container pebble health
