Easily run multiple Laravel Sail applications at the same time locally with custom domain names.
Note: This is still new and may contain bugs, if you see something weird please create an issue
You can install the package via composer:
composer require global jezzdk/fleet-cliNavigate to the root directory of your Laravel application, and stop any Sail instance if it's running. Then, use the following command to add Fleet support to your app:
fleet addDuring setup you'll be prompted to enter in a domain name. Alternatively, you can pass it in through the command line:
fleet add my-app.localhostAfter the setup finishes, you can start up Sail just like normal:
./vendor/bin/sail upAnd your site will be available at the domain you provided!
Note: If you chose a domain that doesn't end in
.localhost, you will need to add an entry to your hosts file to direct traffic to 127.0.0.1
Fleet supports local SSL on your custom domains through the power of mkcert. After you've installed it on your machine, you can use the --ssl option when using the fleet add command to enable it for your application.
fleet add my-app.localhost --sslA local certificate will be generated and stored in ~/.config/mkcert/certs. After spinning up your site with Sail, your specified domain will have https enabled.
When spinning up multiple Laravel Sail appliactions, it's likely you'll encounter an error about port conflicts between Docker containers. This is because each service has a port mapped to your local machine, and by default, they're the same across your applications.
In order to fix this, add different forwarded port numbers to each Laravel application using the .env file. For example:
- App #1
FORWARD_DB_PORT=3306
FORWARD_REDIS_PORT=6379- App #2
FORWARD_DB_PORT=4306
FORWARD_REDIS_PORT=7379This way, both applications can be spun up using Fleet and Sail, and their respective services' ports won't conflict.
By default, whenever you use fleet add, a Docker network and container are both started to handle the traffic from your local domain name(s).
You can start this manually by using:
fleet startIf you would like to remove Fleet support from an application and return it back to the default Docker setup, you can run:
fleet removeTo stop and remove all Fleet containers and networks that are currently running on your system, you can use the command:
fleet stopLaravel Sail uses Docker and Docker Compose to spin up containers that create a local development environment for your application.
By default, the containers are bound to the :80 port of your local machine. Spinning up a second application results in a failure due to port conflicts, but you can always adjust it so that the second app is available at something like :8081.
This can have some unintended consequences though, and can get messy juggling communication between two different applications using port numbers.
Instead, Fleet provides a small set of commands that alter your docker-compose.yml file to provide support for Traefik, a reverse proxy that runs on a Docker container.
When you add a site to Fleet, a network and a few labels are added to the Docker Compose entry for your application, and a main Traefik container is spun up to handle all local web traffic incoming to the :80 port.
This configuration allows two or more Laravel Sail applications configured to different domains to resolve to their respective running containers.
For a more in-depth look at how this all ties together, check out this video that I published on using Traefik with Docker Compose.
