Repository files navigation

A pretty simplified docker-compose workflow that sets up a LEMP network of containers for local Laravel development. You can view the full article that inspired this repohere.

To get started, make sure you haveDocker installed on your system, and then clone this repository.

First add your entire Laravel project to thesrc folder, then open a terminal and from this cloned respository's root rundocker-compose up -d --build. Open up your browser of choice tohttp://localhost:8080 and you should see your Laravel app running as intended.Your Laravel app needs to be in the src directory first before bringing the containers up, otherwise the artisan container will not build, as it's missing the appropriate file.

New: Three new containers have been added that handle Composer, NPM, and Artisan commands without having to have these platforms installed on your local computer. Use the following command templates from your project root, modifiying them to fit your particular use case:

• docker-compose run --rm composer update
• docker-compose run --rm npm run dev
• docker-compose run --rm artisan migrate

Containers created and their ports (if used) are as follows:

• nginx -:8080
• mysql -:3306
• php -:9000
• npm
• composer
• artisan
