Laravel Dotto

Dotto is a very simple yet highly optimized Laravel development environment setup powered by Docker.

Installation

Install Dotto with composer:

composer require titasgailius/laravel-dotto --dev

Usage

Dotto automatically discovers, configures and starts the services required by your Laravel application.

php artisan dotto

Enter Container

You may interact with the application container on the command line:

php artisan dotto:enter

Laravel Tinker

You may interact with your entire Laravel application on the command line:

php artisan dotto:tinker

Logs

You may watch your application logs:

php artisan dotto:logs

Configuration

You may customize the Dotto setup by publishing the Dotto.yml configuration file.

php artisan dotto:publish

Database

Dotto automatically detects your default database connection and starts the appropriate services. Of course, You may override what database connection(s) are used by your application.

databases:
  - database-1
  - database-2

:round_pushpin: By default, Dotto uses the database credentials defined in your config/database.php configuration file.
:round_pushpin: The host of a database is the same as connection name.

Cache

You may override what cache backend(s) are used in your application.

caches:
  - redis
  - memcached

Currently supported cache backends: redis, memchached.

Queues

You may override what queue backend(s) are used in your application.

queues:
  - redis
  - beanstalkd

Currently supported queue backends: redis, beabstalkd.

Extending

You may instruct Dotto to merge the existing docker-compose.yml and Dockerfile files by running Dotto with the --m option (or --merge).

php artisan dotto --m

Additionally, you may call the mergeDockerCompose or mergeDockerfile methods in your AppServiceProvider to instruct Dotto to merge these files by default.

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use TitasGailius\Dotto\Facades\Dotto;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Register any application services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function register()
    {
        Dotto::mergeDockerfile();
        Dotto::mergeDockerCompose();
    }
  }

Then, you may simply use your regular docker-compose.yml and Dockerfile files to add any new services or install additional PHP dependencies.

# dotto-compose.yml
version: '3'

services:
  your-service-name:
    image: "hello-world"
