Laravel Docker Skeleton

A lightweight Docker container that sets up the basic containers for a local Laravel development.

Installation

• Make sure you have Docker and Docker compose installed on your system, and then clone this repository. Or click (Use this template) button to create a new repository based on this template and clone it.
• Navigate in your terminal to the directory you cloned, and spin up the containers for the web server by running docker-compose up -d --build app.
• After that completes, Clone or create your laravel project inside the src directory.

Note: Your MySQL database host name in .env should be mysql (The database container name in docker-compose file), not localhost. The username, password and database should both be the same in .env file and docker-compose file.

Note: If you want to use PostgreSql instead of MySql uncomment the postgres and pgadmin containers in docker-compose.yml file.

Ports

• nginx - :80 (To access your app write 127.0.0.1:80 in your browser)
• mysql - :3306
• phpmyadmin - :8081
• postgres - :3000
• pgadmin - :82
• php - :9000
• redis - :6379
• mailhog - :8025

You can use composer, npm and artisan from the container like this:

• docker-compose run --rm artisan make:controller
• docker-compose run --rm composer install
• docker-compose run --rm npm install

Here is an example of a real Laravel project built on this docker template.
