Author: Rey Jhon

Supported platform

• amd64
• arm64/v8

Services Included:

• Nginx
• PHP with nodejs 14.x/16.x (on php7+ only)
• MYSQL

Requirements

• docker
• docker-compose
• a laravel project of course -_-

Clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/yourjhay/dockerized-laravel.git

cd dockerized-laravel

Next: Setup Environment Variable

Copy the .example.env

cp .env.example .env

Edit .env file according to your configuration need.

Create and Run Container as current user

CURRENT_UID=$(id -u):$(id -g) docker-compose up

Run in Background

CURRENT_UID=$(id -u):$(id -g) docker-compose up -d 

You can now visit your laravel app in your browser using your localhost or Host IP Address and APP_PORT in your .env

Note: Ignore application pulling error. It will build the image instead.

EG: http://127.0.0.1:8101

127.0.0.1 is the Localhost IP of the machine running docker.

Permission Error on Storage Folder and Bootstrap Folder

chmod 777 -R storage
chmod 777 -R bootstrap

Running command in your application container

You must only run all commands related to your app like php artisan or npm on the application container.

You Container Names will be:

• <you_app_name>-app - This is were you can run command like php artisan
• <you_app_name>-nginx - You Can access your app in the browser here
• <you_app_name>-mysql - Your app database

You can list containers using the following command:

docker container ls

It will show the list of containers in docker

You can run command into container by attaching to container console without(< >):

docker exec -it <container-name> sh

For root:

docker exec -it <container-name> bash

Laravel Environment (.env) Updates

Update your Laravel Project .env

DB_HOST this should be the service name of our mysql service in docker-composer.yml file. Or you might get connection refuse error when communicating with MYSQL server. The service name is database

DB_HOST=database
DB_HOST=afms-db
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=dbname
DB_USERNAME=dbuser
DB_PASSWORD=password

Note: Update the above environment variables in your laravel project relevant to your .env in dockerized-laravel.

MYSQL Container only exist in your application stack network and can only access by app within it's network. You cannot access this to your local machine.

If you want to access mysql container within your local machine / localhost

    ports:
      - ${MYSQL_PORT}:3306

Add the above config under database services.

Redis

Redis is Included. Just remove it in docker-compose.yml if you don't need it.
