DebugPHP Server just shipped full Docker support — Dockerfile, Compose config, the whole thing.
Three commands. That’s it.
<pre><code>git clone https://github.com/CallMeLeon167/debugphp-server.git
cd debugphp-server
docker compose up
</code></pre>
Then tell your PHP app it’s running in Docker:
<pre><code>Debug::init(&#x27;your-session-token&#x27;, [
 &#x27;dockerized&#x27; =&gt; true,
]);
</code></pre>
No hardcoded IPs. No manual host config. No guessing.
When <code>dockerized</code> is set to <code>true</code>, the client automatically probes for the server — trying <code>debugphp-server</code>, <code>host.docker.internal</code>, and <code>127.0.0.1</code> in order. First one that responds wins. Result is cached for an hour, so there’s zero overhead on every request.
If you’re a PHP dev who’s ever spent 30 minutes figuring out how to reach a container from another container — this update is for you.

DebugPHP Server now supports Docker with a three-command setup using Dockerfile and Compose config. Setting `dockerized: true` in the client config enables automatic server discovery by probing `debugphp-server`, `host.docker.internal`, and `127.0.0.1` in sequence, with results cached for an hour to eliminate per-request overhead. No hardcoded IPs or manual host configuration required.

DebugPHP — Docker support is here.

Great tool! I will consider using this on my next project using PHP and Docker.
