Docker for laravel

Our Docker PHP project is a simple, yet powerful, Docker setup for PHP development. It is based on the official PHP Docker image and is designed to be used with Laravel.

Setup

1. Clone the submodule in the root of the project git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 <laravel-repo> backend

2. Put in your .env file

     APP_PORT=8300
     MYSQL_PORT=3323
     MYSQL_PASSWORD=${DB_PASSWORD}
     MYSQL_DATABASE=${DB_DATABASE}
     MYSQL_USER=${DB_USERNAME}
     BUILD_TARGET=app
   

3. For a development build which exposes DB ports and includes Xdebug, you can run the dev-mode shell script like so sh ./bin/dev-mode.sh -d

   • For first time setup, run sh ./bin/dev-mode.sh -d --build
   • To run with Xdebug enabled, run XDEBUG_MODE=debug sh ./bin/dev-mode.sh -d --build

4. Composer install with docker

   • docker run --rm --interactive --tty -v $(pwd)/backend:/backend composer install or
   • docker exec -it <container_id> composer install

INFO: Sometimes we need to change the permissions of the storage folder. To do this, run the following command: chmod -R 777 backend/storage/
