multiple moodle-docker improvements

[skodak]

Hi guys,

I have started using moodle-docker on my new M2 mac fox all development, I do not even have PHP installed in macOS. I have already created a few pull requests but the changes I did are starting to look like a fork.

Major changes

• environment can be configured via ./moodle-docker.env file instead of exporting env variables
• compose configuration can be altered via ./moodle-docker.yml file
• there are new dedicated scripts in bin/ - such as bin/docker_up, bin/docker_down, bin/init_phpunit, bin/phpunit, bin/exec, bin/init_node, etc.
• docker configuration is exported into ./moodle-docker-final.yml - this makes it compatible with ALL docker tooling, you can restart and delete from Dashboard in Docker Desktop or PhpStorm
• docker configuration file versions were bumped to "2.4" to support new features such as 'platform'
• MOODLE_DOCKER_WWWROOT is optional, it defaults to current directory
• COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME is optional even if multiple instances used, it defaults to current directory name which is expected to be the Moodle code directory now
• Moodle config.php is added automatically from templates directory if missing
• New template for php binary emulation via shell script in Moodle code directory
• PhpStorm is fully supported and documented
• Basic VSCode support and docs
• Better support and docs for Apple M1/M2
• My other pulls are included (database ports and versions)
• README improvements for beginners, see https://github.com/skodak/moodle-docker/blob/olms/README.md

It should be still mostly compatible with old tooling (apart from new config.php template location).

Please note this is still a work in progress...

Hi Petr, this looks great and promising!

I've appreciated the possibility to pass arguments to your bin/docker_down too e.g. --volumes. Even the possibility to comment out ENV VARs or simply internal notes in the optional moodle-docker.env.

Spare time permitted I'll give it a run and provide more thoughts compared to this first glance.

HTH, Matteo
