Laravel - Docker

Install

After creating your laravel project you need to do some configuration first and have docker-compose installed

1. Install package

composer require grobles16/laravel-docker

2. To detect the routes file it is necessary to add the following code in config / app.php

'providers' => [
   Grobles16\LaravelDocker\LaravelDockerProvider::class,
],

3. Publish files in our root folder

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Grobles16\LaravelDocker\LaravelDockerProvider" --tag=laravel-docker --force

Docker settings

1. Edit the .env file assign the name of the DB, user, password

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=mysql
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel
DB_USERNAME=laravel
DB_PASSWORD=laravel

2. Once the changes have been made in the .env file, execute the following command, this will allow us to create our containers:

docker-compose build app

3. Turn on the containers and the network:

docker-compose up -d

4. To display information about the status of active services, run:

docker-compose ps

5. After executing step 3 our containers are already up, but we still need to run a couple of commands to finish configuring our application. You can use the docker-compose exec command to run commands on service containers, such as ls -l to display detailed information about the files in our application directory:

docker-compose exec app ls -l

6. If necessary, run the following command to assign permissions to our project

docker-compose exec app chown -R www-data: /var/www

7. Now we run "composer install" to install the app dependencies:

docker-compose exec app rm -rf vendor composer.lock
docker-compose exec app composer install

8. Generate a unique app key

docker-compose exec app php artisan key:generate

9. Go to the browser and put the following

localhost:8000

Optional information

• If you want to pause your Docker Compose environment while maintaining the state of all your services, run:

docker-compose pause

• Resume services

docker-compose unpause

• To shut down the Docker environment

docker-compose down
