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
