Docker + Lumen with Nginx and MySQL

This setup is great for writing quick apps in PHP using Lumen from an any Docker client. It uses docker-compose to setup the application services.

Clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/saada/docker-lumen.git
cd docker-lumen

Create Lumen App

If you haven't already installed lumen globally, run

composer global require "laravel/lumen-installer"

now, create the app in the images\php directory named app

cd images/php
lumen new app

Configuration

To change configuration values, look in the docker-compose.yml file and change the php container's environment variables. These directly correlate to the Lumen environment variables.

Docker Setup

Docker for Mac

Docker for Windows

Docker for Linux

Build & Run!

docker-compose up --build -d

Navigate to http://localhost:80 and you can now start developing your Lumen app on your host machine and you should see your changes on refresh! Classic PHP development cycle.

Feel free to configure the port in docker-compose.yml to whatever you like.

Stop Everything

docker-compose down
