Docker Laravel

*** WORK IN PROGRESS ***

AEKAB uses this package to enable Docker dev environment for Laravel project development.

Requirements

PHP Composer

Docker Machine

Step by step, getting started

Step 1, the project root

Install Laravel or go to your Laravel project root

composer create-project laravel/laravel theproject

Step into the project folder

cd theproject

Step 2, requirements

Install this package with composer and require-dev

composer require ekandreas/docker-laravel:* --dev

Step 3, the deployfile (deploy.php)

Create a deploy file in the project root, a file called "deploy.php", eg:

<!-- deploy.php in the laravel project root -->
<!-- Change "theproject.dev" to your local dev domain -->
<?php
include_once 'vendor/ekandreas/docker-laravel/recipe.php';

server('theproject.dev', 'default')
    ->env('container', 'laravel')
    ->stage('development');

Step 4, ensure .env

Note! It's really important that you have a valid .env -file in the project root because Docker-Laravel will take DB_DATABASE and settings as parameters when creating the mysql container. Set the DB_HOST to same as your Docker machine IP!

Partitial example of a .env -file:

...
DB_HOST=192.168.99.100
DB_DATABASE=lund
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=root
...

Step 5, start containers

Run the script command in the terminal at your project root:

vendor/bin/dep docker:up development

If you have installed PHP deployer locally then run it without the path to "dep", just:

dep docker:up development

Step 6, ensure local DNS

Note! Change your DNS so that the URL points to the docker machine! Eg for Mac:

nano /etc/hosts

Then browse to theproject.dev and start develop your awesome web app.

Stopping the containers for another project

Stop the containers (php+mysql)

dep docker:stop development

Cleanup

Note! Your web containers will be removed. If you get the wrong laravel image then do:

dep docker:cleanup development

And the container will be killed and the image removed to provide a new next startup. Good when need to create new image for Laravel containers.
