+## Compose sample application
+### PHP application with Apache2
+
+Project structure:
+```
+.
+├── docker-compose.yaml
+├── app
+    ├── Dockerfile
+    └── index.php
+
+```
+
+[_docker-compose.yaml_](docker-compose.yaml)

+    ports: 
+      - '80:80'

+
+## Deploy with docker-compose
+
+```
+$ docker-compose up -d
+Creating network "php-docker_web" with the default driver
+Building web
+Step 1/6 : FROM php:7.2-apache

+Creating php-docker_web_1 ... done

+```
+
+## Expected result
+
+Listing containers must show two containers running and the port mapping as below:
+```
+$ docker ps
+CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                        COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                  NAMES

+```
+
+After the application starts, navigate to `http://localhost:80` in your web browser or run:
+```
+$ curl localhost:80
+Hello World!
+```
+
+Stop and remove the containers
+```
+$ docker-compose down
