About this project

Intended to just be a simple docker starter for starting a new Laravel project.

It utilises official docker images with docker-compose. See docker-compose.yml and docker/Dockerfile to see whats going on under the hood.

• nginx:stable-alpine
• mysql
• php:7.4-fpm

Getting started & configuration

• Create a Laravel project. composer create-project laravel/laravel src, or clone the latest git project from Laravel into a new folder called src.
• Copy our env example cp ./.env.example to ./src/.env. Open and edit MYSQL details, specifically username, database and password as you require.
• Now build our docker image and spin up.

docker-compose build
docker-compose up

• Next install composer packages and generate a key for Laravel:

composer install
php artisan key:generate

• Finally open up http://localhost

Development

Steps you can repeat whenever you need to build or re-launch your site.

docker-compose build
docker-compose up
