Debug PHP with VSCode and Docker

Question

I'm trying to debug a PHP app running on Docker with VSCode, but without success.

In the past I was able to easily debug my PHP apps with VSCode running WAMP Server, but since I started working with Docker I'm unable to get debug working. Searched for several tutorials online, checked some threads here on StackOverflow (ex.: Docker and XDebug not reading breakpoints VSCode), but I'm still not able to get this working.

Dockerfile:

FROM php:7.1.8-apache

COPY /cms /srv/app/cms
COPY .docker/cms/vhosts/vhost.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/cms.conf
COPY .docker/cms/vhosts/vhost-ssl.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/cms-ssl.conf
COPY .docker/cms/vhosts/certificate.conf /etc/ssl/certs/certificate.conf
COPY .docker/cms/xdebug.ini /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/xdebug.ini

WORKDIR /srv/app/cms

RUN docker-php-ext-install mbstring pdo pdo_mysql
RUN pecl install xdebug 
RUN docker-php-ext-enable xdebug
RUN chown -R www-data:www-data /srv/app/cms
RUN openssl req -x509 -new -out /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-cms.crt -config /etc/ssl/certs/certificate.conf
RUN a2ensite cms.conf
RUN a2ensite cms-ssl.conf
RUN a2enmod rewrite
RUN a2enmod ssl

xdebug.ini

[xdebug]
xdebug.default_enable=1
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_connect_back=0
xdebug.remote_host='host.docker.internal'
xdebug.idekey='VSCODE'
xdebug.remote_autostart=1

docker-compose.yml

version: '3.7'
services:
cms:
  build:
    context: .
    dockerfile: .docker/cms/Dockerfile
  image: php:7.1.8-apache
  ports:
    - 18080:80
    - 14430:443
  volumes:
    - ./cms:/srv/app/cms
  links:
    - mysql
    - redis
  environment:
    DB_HOST: mysql
    VIRTUAL_HOST: my.app.localhost
    PHP_EXTENSION_XDEBUG: 1

VSCode: launch.json

"configurations": [
    {
        "name": "Listen for XDebug",
        "type": "php",
        "request": "launch",
        "pathMappings": {
           "/srv/app/cms": "${workspaceRoot}/my.app/cms",
        },
        "port": 9000
    }, {
        "name": "Launch currently open script",
        "type": "php",
        "request": "launch",
        "program": "${file}",
        "cwd": "${fileDirname}",
        "port": 9000
    }
]

When I debug the app no breakpoint is being triggered. What am I doing wrong?

UPDATE: Based on some suggestions i've updated my docker-compose.yml and my launch.json files but nothing changed.

docker-compose.yml

ports:
  - 18080:80
  - 14430:443
  - 9000:9000 //added new xdebug default port

launch.json

"configurations": [
    {
        "name": "Listen for XDebug",
        "type": "php",
        "request": "launch",
        "pathMappings": {
           "/srv/app/cms": "${workspaceRoot}/my.app/cms",
        },
        "port": 9000,
        "log": true
    }
]

VSCode Debug Console:

<- launchResponse
Response {
seq: 0,
type: 'response',
request_seq: 2,
command: 'launch',
success: true }

UPDATE #2: Removed the Xdebug port (9000) from the docker-compose.yml settings. Here is the xdebug log result:

Any more suggestions?

Managed to solve my issue with the following settings:

launch.json

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [{
            "name": "Listen for XDebug",
            "type": "php",
            "request": "launch",
            "port": 9000,
            "log": true,
            "externalConsole": false,
            "pathMappings": {
                "/srv/app/cms": "${workspaceRoot}/cms",
            },
            "ignore": [
                "**/vendor/**/*.php"
            ]
        },
    ]
}

xdebug.ini

(copy into container's corresponding dir, i.e.: /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/xdebug.ini)

zend_extension=/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20160303/xdebug.so

xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_connect_back=0
