Click to expand!

Requirements

• Docker (and docker-compose)
• Composer
• Nginx proxy manager (when you want to run multiple instances on 1 server)

You can start developing in 2 ways:

Devcontainers

1. Clone the repository
2. Reopen in container
3. When the container build is finished: bash init.sh

Docker

How to start with this Laravel Docker template:

1. Clone the repository
2. Create a .env file and make an symbolik link

cp ./laravel/.env.example ./laravel/.env
ln -s laravel/.env .env

3. Inside the .env file give the following variables a value

   • APP_NAME
   • DOCKER_IMAGE_NAME
   • DB_HOST
   • DB_DATABASE
   • DB_USERNAME
   • DB_PASSWORD
   • DB_ROOT_PASSWORD

4. Change the port numbers according to your situation

   • DB_PORT
   • APP_HTTP_PORT
   • APP_HTTPS_PORT

NOTE: if you are going to use your Laravel environment in combination with a domain name and SSL, change the APP_ENV to production.

5. Install the composer packages, generate a key and add an empty database.sqlite test file

cd laravel && composer install && php artisan key:generate && touch database.sqlite && cd ..

Run

When you have done the getting started part, it's time to start the docker containers.

docker-compose up -d --build

After this only do a Laravel migration to the database and you are ready!

cd laravel && php artisan migrate

Also migrate the testing database if you want to use it:

php artisan migrate:fresh --env=testing
