## Image Volumes

__/app__ directory is a docker volume bind to your app project (silex/symfony etc)  

__/app/www/__ is the documentRoot.  
put only your entry point and static files to the documentRoot directory, no your app sources
(__/app__ directory is design for this).

__/app/vhost__ is your app vhost configuration file (with a serverName directive).
by default it use the apache rewrite module to redirect all uri to the unique entry point index.php 

```
/app/            # your application directory
  |
  |---- www/     # documentRoot
  |
  |---- vhost    # apache app vhost
```
