A pretty simplified Docker Compose workflow that sets up a LEMP (Linux, NGINX, MySQL, PHP) network of containers for local Laravel development.

Ports used in the project:

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

1. Clone this project:

   git clone https://github.com/supermavster/docker-laravel-8.git

2. Inside the folder docker-laravel-8 and Generate your own .env to docker compose with the next command:

   cp .env.example .env

3. You need Create or Put your laravel project in the folder source; to create follow the next instructions Here.

4. Build the project whit the next commands:

   docker-compose up --build

The configuration of the database must be the same on both sides .

# .env
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=db_name
DB_USERNAME=db_user
DB_PASSWORD=db_password
DB_ROOT_PASSWORD=secret

# source/.env
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=mysql
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=db_name
DB_USERNAME=db_user
DB_PASSWORD=db_password

The only change is the DB_HOST in the source/.env where is called to the container of mysql:

# source/.env
DB_HOST=mysql

To Down and remove the volumes we use the next command:

docker-compose down -v

Update Composer:

docker-compose run --rm composer update

Run compiler (Webpack.mix.js) or Show the view compiler in node:

docker-compose run --rm npm run dev

Run all migrations:

docker-compose run --rm artisan migrate
