docker-compose-php

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 repo here.

Usage

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

Add your entire php project to the src folder, then open a terminal and from this cloned respository's root run docker-compose up -d --build. Open up your browser of choice to http://localhost:8000 and you should see your Laravel app running as intended.

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 - :8000
  • mysql - :3306
  • php - :9000
  • phpmyadmin - :8001
  • npm
  • composer
  • artisan
