Generic Docker Image for Laravel Application. A pretty simplified Docker Compose workflow that sets up a LEMP network of containers for local Laravel development.
To get started, make sure you have Docker Desktop installed on your system, and then clone this repository.
Initialize the Laravel project in the /src directory. We usually use the Laravel Installer to initialize a Laravel project.
laravel new src --force
composer create-project laravel/laravel src
After initializing the Laravel project, make sure these lines are adjusted in the Laravel .env file.
DB_HOST=mysql
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel
DB_USERNAME=trooper
DB_PASSWORD=secret
COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=laravel-project-1
Please match the
COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAMEvalue in /src/.env with the .env in the root folder.
docker-compose up -d
You can open the project url at http://localhost:8080 or you can customize the port at docker-compose.yml or [docker-compose-mac.yml] (docker-compose-mac.yml) if you're using mac.
Database host and port in /src/.env use mysql as host and port 3306, this host and port can be accessed by the app container. Therefore, to run artisan migrate, please do it via docker-compose exec.
docker-compose exec app php artisan migrate
If an error occurs with storage permissions, execute this command to fix permissions:
docker-compose exec app chmod -R 777 storage/
docker-compose exec app chmod -R 777 bootstrap/cache
