Also logs will be mounted the same way in order for developers to easily check these out when needed (_e.g. `virtual/var/log/apache2/access.log`_). Also, note that even if the container is removed, the logs will remain.
###### d) Development folder
The development folder (_i.e. the actual code to test_) is located in the folder [virtual/vhost](./virtual/vhost). In a real-world use of this configuration, I would clone a git repository into it in order for my docker configuration and my actual code not to mix together ; we could then use _git submodules_ for version stability among the 2 repositories.
#### 2. Network sharing
The whole system will only expose its port `8080` ; we are not using the default HTTP port not to break a possible web server on the host. Containers between them will be connected through the default overlay network which is unreachable from the host.

Containers between them will be connected through the `privnet` network which is unreachable from the host ; except for the port 8080.
###### b) DNS
The `nginx` container is configured to only accept the host `mydomain.com`, it corresponds to the DNS record chosen for the production server. This domain must be added into the `/etc/hosts` file of each developer in order for them to access the web server at `mydomain.com:8080`.
###### c) Production deployment
If the project is pushed into a production server, if you have no other program occupying the port `80`, you can just replace the port binding `8080:80` in `docker-compose.yml`. If it is already taken by apache/nginx, you will have to create an entry in your web server to forward your requests from your address (_i.e. domain.com_) to the specific port 8080 (_c.f. [reverse proxy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_proxy)_).
