The Docker Tutorial
This is the source code behind the Laracasts series The Docker Tutorial, and features all of the files and code available in those videos. If any additions to the series are made, this code will be modified to include them!
Basic Usage
To get started, make sure you have Docker installed on your system, and then clone this repository.
Next, navigate in your terminal to the directory you cloned this, and spin up the containers for the web server by running docker-compose up -d --build site.
After that completes, follow the steps from the src/README.md file to get your Laravel project added in (or create a new blank one).
Bringing up the Docker Compose network with nginx instead of just using up, ensures that only our site's containers are brought up at the start, instead of all of the command containers as well. The following are built for our web server, with their exposed ports detailed:
- nginx -
:80 - mysql -
:3306
Three additional containers are included that handle Composer, NPM, and Artisan commands without having to have these platforms installed on your local computer. Use the following command examples from your project root, modifying them to fit your particular use case.
docker-compose run --rm composer updatedocker-compose run --rm npm run devdocker-compose run --rm artisan migrate
Permissions Issues
If you encounter any issues with filesystem permissions while visiting your application or running a container command, try completing the following steps:
- Bring any container(s) down with
docker-compose down - Open up the php, nginx, or composer Dockerfiles
- Modify the values in the
ENVattributes to match the user and group of this folder in your system - Re-build the containers by running
docker-compose build --no-cache
Then, either bring back up your container network or re-run the command you were trying before, and see if that fixes it.
