• Server Any of the following
  • Apache Web Server with mod_rewrite enabled
  • Nginx Web Server
• Latest stable Phalcon Framework release extension enabled

  • PHP 8.0 (tutorial-8.0)
  • PHP 8.1 (tutorial-8.1)
  • PHP 8.2 (tutorial-8.2)

This will output a JSON file, where you can find the IP address of the container on your local machine.
