Introduce a docker-compose based testing method

[vincentkelleher]

Hi 👋

As I've been working on this project recently, I noticed that there wasn't any unified testing method for identifiers and this has been mentioned in issues such as #2258.

This pull request is a proposal for a simple and straightforward testing method based on docker-compose to run the official Apache httpd Docker image. This uses an httpd.conf file that is just the original configuration file with the rewrite engine enabled and AllowOverride All for the main directory.

I've also updated the README to add explanations on how to test identifiers 😊

Cool, this also allows for reproducing the whole deployment.

I've pushed a quick update which increases the rewrite_module log level to debug as it's critical for debugging rewrite rules 😇

Thank you @TallTed for your suggestions, I've committed them all 👍

Hi 👋

Does this PR need some more work before being approved ?

[dgarijo]

@davidlehn any thoughts?

[davidlehn]

This looks nice. Thanks. I've been a bit busy to test it out properly. Will try to soon.

• Might be better for httpd.conf to be named something to indicate it's for development? Probably doesn't matter what it's called.
• Until the PR to move served things to ids/ is merged, I think the .yml and .conf will be served live. Not a big deal or worth addressing.
• Should the httpd.conf be cleaned up? It's mostly comments. I did want to at least sync the live modules list with what's here so people can test what's actually running.

@davidlehn I've just rebased my branch and took into account your first and last comment.

I'm not sure I'm the best person to voice an opinion about your second comment as I don't know how you deploy this project 😇

Hi 👋

Can someone review this pull request as it is opened for a while now ? 😇

Hi @davidlehn
Did you have time to take a look at this MR by any chance ?

The changes are quite light and can be used by many to validate their configuration.
Thanks !
