PHP Sessions on Minishift/Docker (session file disappears)
I'm trying to run a PHP application in a docker image deployed to minishift.
I have no problem to deploy the image to minishift and create a route to access it in my browser.
The application is making use of php sessions, which work perfectly fine on an "ordinary" installation (VM with ubuntu and nginx/php-fpm or Apache+PHP). I tried to copy the setup to a Dockerfile, using ubuntu:16.04 as base with installed packages for Apache2 and PHP (including libapache2-mod-php and others).
The problem is the following: in the php.ini, I set session.save_path = /tmp/, which, according to phpinfo() and session_save_path() gets applied and seems to work. However, when I load a new page of my web application, I always seem to get an empty $_SESSION.
I tried to debug this and was wondering that there was absolutely no file in /tmp/. Using inotifywait I found out that the session files are created and saved but also removed instantly:
$ inotifywait -m /tmp/
Setting up watches.
Watches established.
/tmp/ CREATE sess_h5eteih0jlcmbnavo7fstget21
/tmp/ OPEN sess_h5eteih0jlcmbnavo7fstget21
/tmp/ MODIFY sess_h5eteih0jlcmbnavo7fstget21
/tmp/ CLOSE_WRITE,CLOSE sess_h5eteih0jlcmbnavo7fstget21
/tmp/ OPEN sess_h5eteih0jlcmbnavo7fstget21
/tmp/ ACCESS sess_h5eteih0jlcmbnavo7fstget21
/tmp/ CLOSE_WRITE,CLOSE sess_h5eteih0jlcmbnavo7fstget21
/tmp/ DELETE sess_h5eteih0jlcmbnavo7fstget21
The same thing happens when I don't use /tmp/ but a different directory. I was wondering what is causing the removal of the session file.
These are the parameters in my php.ini:
[Session]
session.save_handler = files
session.use_strict_mode = 0
session.use_cookies = 1
session.use_only_cookies = 1
session.name = PHPSESSID
session.auto_start = 0
session.cookie_lifetime = 0
session.cookie_path = /
session.cookie_domain =
session.cookie_httponly =
session.serialize_handler = php
session.gc_probability = 0
session.gc_divisor = 1000
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440
session.referer_check =
session.cache_limiter = nocache
session.cache_expire = 180
session.use_trans_sid = 0
session.hash_function = 0
session.hash_bits_per_character = 5
url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=fakeentry"
session.save_path = /tmp/
Does anyone have a clue why the session files are deleted instantly?
