Getting started

Getting started

These are some instructions on how to get set up. We will use Laradock in this case, but you should be able to apply this to other environments.

To use Laradock, make sure you have Docker and Docker-compose installed.

We are going to follow the instructions on the Laradock site here (single new project): https://laradock.io/getting-started/#A2

So you do git clone https://github.com/laradock/laradock.git, which creates a laradock directory. Staying in the same directory, clone the repo for the app: git clone https://github.com/CodeHubOrg/codehub-mentorships After this, you will have laradock and codehub-mentorships subdirectories.

Cd into the laradock directory and copy the env-example file to .env:

cd laradock
cp env-example .env

In the .env file, you add the path to the project directory at the top:

APP_CODE_PATH_HOST=../codehub-mentorships/

Still inside the laradock directory, start up the containers with docker-compose up -d nginx mysql
Enter the workspace container: docker-compose exec workspace bash
