Dockerized PHP Environment

Set of Docker files to set up a development environment for PHP (Laravel in particular) with artisan and composer.

The environment uses nginx to serve files, MySQL as database, and Adminer to manage the database.

Setup

Note: Obviously, you need Docker installed. You also need docker-compose - Docker Desktop for Windows includes docker-compose.

Clone or download the repository
Place your project files in src folder. Make sure your "public" folder exists as src/public
Run the docker services:

$ docker-compose up -d
That's it! Your application is hosted and your services should now be accessible on the following urls:
- Web server: localhost or localhost:80
- Adminer: localhost:9090

You can run composer and artisan commands like so:

$ docker-compose run composer install
$ docker-compose run artisan migrate

Take a look at docker-compose.yml and modify it to suit your configuration.
Make sure the database particulars in your .env matches those in docker-compose.yml
- In particular, the database host name should be the name of the database's service, i.e. db. Docker services are named after their service name in the Docker network.
The database is persisted in the database folder
To use a different "public" folder, modify the root location in nginx/default.conf
